Prices of rice basmati declined by Rs 100 per quintal at the wholesale grains market today owing to slackened demand.

However, bajra edged up on uptick in demand from consuming industries.

Traders said besides reduced offtake by stockists, ample stocks position increased arrivals from growing regions, mainly led to decline in rice basmati rices.

In the national capital, rice basmati common and Pusa-1121 variety fell by Rs 100 each to Rs 7,600-7,700 and Rs 6,900-7,000 per quintal, respectively.

On the other hand, bajra went up by Rs 50 to Rs 1,260-1,265 per quintal.

Following are today's quotations (in Rs per quintal):
