Wheat and other bold grain prices fell by up to Rs 35 per quintal in the wholesale grains market today amid adequate stocks availability and reduced offtake by flour mills and stockists.
Marketmen said the sufficient stocks position amid reduced offtake by consuming industries mainly led to the fall in wheat and other bold grain prices.
In the national capital, wheat dara (for mills) shed Rs 5 to Rs 1,200-1,210 per quintal and atta chakki delivery followed suit to trade lower by the same margin at Rs 1,210—1,215 per 90 kg.
Maida and sooji prices also eased by Rs 10 and Rs 15 to Rs 715-735 and Rs 785-800 per 50 kg, respectively.
