At the National Commodity and Derivative Exchange, barley for September delivery contracts improved further by Rs 12 or 0.81 per cent to Rs 1,490 per quintal, with an open interest of 4,240 lots.
Barley to be delivered in October contracts also gained Rs 5 or 0.33 per cent to Rs 1,511 per quintal, in an open interest of 220 lots.
