Prices of wheat dara and its products rose on the wholesale market during this week on increased offtake by flour mills to meet the ongoing festive season demand.
However, basmati rice and bajra softened on sluggish demand against adequate stocks.
Traders said increased offtake by flour mills amid the ongoing festive season led to rise in wheat dara and its product prices.
Wheat dara (for mills) rose by Rs 10 to Rs 1,175-1,180/ quintal, while atta chakki delivery traded higher by the same margin to Rs 1,185-1,190/90 kg.
Maida traded higher at Rs 750-780 from Rs 640-780 and sooji moved up Rs 15 to Rs 830-845/50 kg on festive demand.
In the rice section, basmati common and Pusa-1121 variety eased to Rs 5,200-5,300 and Rs 4,150-4,800 against the last close of Rs 5,300-5,400 and Rs 4,150-4,800 per quintal respectively.
Bajra moved down to Rs 850-860 (Rs 920-930) but maize strengthened on pick up in demand and shot up by Rs 40 to Rs 1,190-1,200 per quintal.
