Wheat dara prices rose Rs 10 per quintal at the wholesale grains market today due to increased offtake by flour mills.

However, increased arrivals at the market following record procurement by the government restricted the gains.

Traders said increased offtake by flour mills helped wheat dara prices to trade marginally higher.

In the national capital, wheat dara (for mills) gained Rs 10 to Rs 1,200-1,205 per quintal, while atta chakki delivery traded higher by the same margin at Rs 1,205-1,210.

However, in the rice section, basmati Pusa-1121 variety eased to Rs 4,000-4,800 against the last close of Rs 4,000-5,000 per quintal.
