Barley prices rose by Rs 10 per quintal in an otherwise steady wholesale grains market today due to increased offtake by consuming industries.
However, other grains moved in a tight range in scattered deals and settled around previous levels.
Traders said increased offtake by consuming industries against restricted arrivals from producing regions mainly led to rise in barley prices.
In the national capital, barley rose by Rs 10 to Rs 1,395-1,400 per quintal.
