Bajra weakens on reduced offtake

In restricted activity, bajra prices declined by Rs 15 per quintal in the wholesale grains market today due to reduced industrial offtake. 

Elsewhere, other prices moved in a tight range on alternate bouts of trading and settled around previous levels.

Adequate stocks against reduced industrial offtake, led to a decline in wholesale bajra prices, traders said.

In the national capital, bajra fell by Rs 15 to Rs 815-825 per quintal.
