Wheat, bajra rise on increased offtake

Wheat dara and bajra prices rose up to Rs 10 per quintal in the wholesale grains market today on fresh buying activity against less arrivals.

Traders said increased offtake by flour mills to meet the festive and marriage season demand mainly led to a rise in wheat dara prices.

Wheat dara (for mills) inched up by Rs 5 to Rs 1,215- 1,220 per quintal. Atta chakki delivery followed suit and edged up by the same margin at Rs 1,220-1,225 per 90 kg.

Bajra also gained Rs 10 to Rs 990-1,000 per quintal.
