Wheat prices rose further by Rs 10 per quintal at the wholesale grains market today following increased demand from flour mills against restricted arrivals from producing belts.
However, other grains held steady in thin trade.
Traders said increased demand from flour mills against restricted arrivals from producing belts mainly kept wheat prices higher.
In the national capital, wheat dara (for mills) added another Rs 10 to Rs 1,500-1,505 per quintal. Atta chakki delivery followed suit and edged higher by a similar margin to Rs 1,510-1,515 per 90 kg.
