Wheat rises on increased offtake by flour mills

NEW DELHI: Wheat prices rose by Rs 10 per quintal in the wholesale grains market due to increased offtake by flour mills.

However, other grains continued to move in a narrow range in limited deals and settled around previous levels.

Traders said increased demand from flour mills mainly helped wheat prices to trade higher.

In the national capital, wheat dara (for mills) rose by Rs 10 to Rs 1,640-1,645 per quintal, while atta chakki delivery traded higher by the same margin to Rs 1,650-1,655 per 90 kg.
