Bajra remains weak on muted demand

Bajra prices fell further by Rs 30 per quintal at the wholesale grains market today owing to slackened demand from consuming industries.

However, other grains moved in a narrow range in scattered deals and settled around previous levels.

Traders said easing demand from consuming industries against adequate stocks position kept pressure on bajra prices.

In the national capital, bajra drifted further lower by Rs 30 to Rs 1,370-1,375 per quintal.
