Weak conditions developed at the wholesale grains market today as select pulses led by rice basmati and wheat declined on adequate supplies against reduced offtake by stockists and retailers.

Expectations of higher output this year also put pressure on wheat and rice basmati prices.

Marketmen said adequate stocks position against weak demand from stockists and retailers mainly led to fall in wheat and rice basmati prices.

In the national capital, wheat dara (for mills) declined by Rs 10 to Rs 1,210-1,215 per quintal. Atta chakki delivery followed suit and traded lower by the same margin to Rs 1,215-1,220 per 90 kg.
