Low trading at all levels pulled aromatic and non-basmati rice marginally down in north Indian rice markets on Thursday.
Prices of brokens ruled almost unchanged, said Amit Chandna, proprietor of Hanuman Rice Trading Company.
The rice market has been witnessing slack trading since the beginning of this week. It is expected to remain sluggish in the next few days also, he said. A major reason for the low trading is the financial year coming to an end. The situation was anticipated in the market, said Chandna.
In the physical market, Pusa-1121 (steam) eased by Rs 100 to Rs 7,600 a quintal, while Pusa-1121 (sela) quoted at Rs 6,700-6,750 a quintal, down by Rs 50.
Pure basmati (raw) remained unchanged at Rs 8,500 a quintal. Duplicate basmati (steam) dropped by Rs 50 to Rs 6,450 a quintal.
Similarly, non basmati rice prices decreased on lack of buying. Prices of Sharbati (steam) decreased by Rs 60 to Rs 4,940, while Sharbati (sela) quoted at Rs 4,800 a quintal, down Rs 50.
