Paddy arrivals dropped to just around 1,500 bags on Monday against the daily arrivals of about 4,000 bags till last weekend.
Tara Chand Sharma, Proprietor of Tara Chand and Sons, told Business Line that there is no particular reason behind it and arrivals are likely to touch the 10,000-bags-a-day mark within the next couple of weeks, he said.
In the physical market, rice may rule range-bound in the coming days as bulk buyers are keeping out of the market, said trade experts.
There is no bulk buying in the market currently as traders have adopted a wait-and-watch policy following too much volatility in the market in the recent past, said Amit Chandna.
Alteration of Rs 50-100 a quintal wouldn’t make much difference and market may continue to rule around current levels with marginal fluctuations this week, he added.
