Thin trading pulled the prices of aromatic and non-basmati rice down by Rs 10-60 a quintal on Friday.
Unstable weather and sluggish domestic demand led the market downwards, said Mr Amit Chandna, a rice trader. Market sentiments are low and it's hard to anticipate the levels where the market will get any support, he added.
