Bajra inches up on scattered buying

Bajra prices rose marginally by Rs 5 per quintal today on scattered buying support in an otherwise steady wholesale grains market.

Traders said some buying by stockists against restricted arrivals from producing belts led to rise in bajra prices.

In the national capital, bajra edged up by Rs 5 to Rs 1,295-1,300 per quintal.
