Bajra prices fell by Rs 5 a quintal on Monday, in an otherwise steady wholesale grains market, due to reduced industrial demand.
Traders said sluggish industrial demand against adequate stocks mainly led to decline in bajra prices. In the national capital, bajra declined by Rs 5 to Rs 840-850 a quintal.
