Firm conditions prevailed at the wholesale grains market today as wheat and other bold grains firmed up to Rs 50 per quintal on increased buying by flour mills and stockists against limited arrivals from producing belts.
Traders said increased buying by flour mills and stockists against limited arrivals from producing belts mainly led to rise in wheat and other bold grain prices.
