Prices of non-basmati rose by Rs 100 per quintal at the wholesale grains market today on increased demand.
However, wheat and other grains continued to move in a narrow range in limited deals and settled around previous levels.
Traders said besides increased demand, tight supplies on restricted arrivals from producing regions, led to the rise non-basmati rice prices.
In the national capital, non-basmati rice sela and IR-8 quality were up by Rs 100 each to Rs 2,700-2,800 and Rs 1,900-1,950 per quintal, respectively.
