Barley prices declined Rs 15 in lacklustre trade at the wholesale grains market today due to sluggish demand from consuming industries against adequate stock position.
However, other grains moved in a narrow range in scattered deals and settled around previous levels.
Marketmen said reduced offtake by consuming industries against adequate stock position mainly kept pressure on barley prices.
In the capital, barley moved down Rs 15 to Rs 1,500-1,505 per quintal.
