The rice market is likely to rule without much change on account of steady demand and ample stocks in the coming days, said trade experts.
With trading being lukewarm in the market, prices of almost all the varieties except Sharbati (steam) remained unchanged .
Amit Chandna, Proprietor of Hanuman Rice Trading Company, told Business Line that domestic demand has failed to pick up and hence, rice millers are releasing limited stocks in the market to keep prices stable.
Trading has been lacklustre since mid-December, he said.
According to trade experts, the market is likely to rule around current levels over the next few days and may witness some alteration in the first week of January. In the physical market, Pusa-1121 (steam) sold at Rs 8,400-8,500, while Pusa-1121 (sela) quoted at Rs 7,500 a quintal.
Pure Basmati (Raw) quoted at Rs 12,500. Duplicate basmati (steam) sold at Rs 7,300.
