Bajra prices drifted by Rs 50 per quintal in an otherwise steady wholesale grains market today owing to slackened demand against sufficient supplies from producing regions.
However, other grains held steady in thin trade.
Traders said adequate stocks position against subdued demand from consuming industries mainly kept pressure on bajra prices.
In the national capital, bajra declined further by Rs 50 to Rs 1,310-1,315 per quintal.
