Wheat prices declined by another Rs 5 per quintal at the wholesale grains market today on higher supplies from producing belts amid poor demand.
However, other grains were trading in a tight range in limited deals and settled around previous levels.
According to traders, there was adequate wheat stock in the market but subdued demand from flour millers kept pressure on wheat prices.
In the national capital, wheat dara (for mills) fell by Rs 5 to Rs 1,660-1,665 per quintal. Similarly, prices of 'atta chakki' were ruling down at Rs 1,675-1,680 per 90 kg.
