Select grains remain up on rising demand

Amid rising demand from consuming industries and restricted supplies from producing regions, prices of select grains strengthened up to Rs 50 per quintal at the wholesale grains market today.
However, non-basmati rice ended lower due to sluggish demand.
Marketmen said increased demand from consuming industries in the face of restricted supplies from producing regions mainly kept select grains prices higher.
They said, however, muted demand from retailers dragged down non-basmati rice prices.
In the national capital, bajra and maize advanced by Rs 10 and Rs 30 to Rs 1,430-1,435 and Rs 1,720-1,740 per quintal, respectively. Jowar yellow and white also gained another Rs 50 each to Rs 1,650-1,750 and Rs 3,150-3,250 per quintal, respectively. Barley too edged up by Rs 10 to Rs 1,460-1,470 per quintal.

On the other hand, non-basmati rice permal raw, wand and sela settled lower at Rs 1,925-1,975, Rs 2,150-2,200 and Rs 2,500-2,600 against last close of Rs 1,950-2,000, Rs 2,200-2,275 and Rs 2,750-2,850 per quintal respectively.
