Bajra rises on fresh buying support

Bajra prices rose by Rs 10 per quintal in an otherwise steady wholesale grains market today on fresh buying by stockists on pick up in industrial demand.

Elsewhere, grain prices moved in a narrow range in limited deals and settled around previous levels.

Traders said fresh buying by stockists on pick up in industrial demand mainly helped bajra prices to move up.

In the national capital, bajra gained Rs 10 to Rs 1,010-1,020 per quintal.
