Wheat, bajra rise on increased offtake

Firm conditions prevailed at the wholesale grains market today as wheat and other grains firmed up on the back of increased offtake against restricted supplies.
Traders said increased offtake by flour mills helped wheat to trade higher.
Pick up in demand from consuming industries pushed up other bold grains prices, they added.
In the national capital, wheat dara (for mills) moved up by Rs 10 to Rs 1,815-1,820 per quintal. Atta chakki delivery followed suit and traded higher by a similar margin to Rs 1,820-1,825 per 90 kg. Maida and sooji also traded higher by Rs 10 each to Rs 1,070-1,080 and Rs 1,100-1,110 per 50 kg.

Other bold grains like bajra and barley went up by Rs 30 and Rs 20 to Rs 1,375-1,380 and Rs 1,580-1,585 per quintal, respectively.
