NEW DELHI, July 6: Wheat prices eased by Rs 5 per quintal on the wholesale grains market in a restricted activity here today due to reduced offtake by flour mills against adequate supplies on increased arrivals from producing belts.
However, other grains moved in a tight range in scattered deals and settled around previous levels.
Traders said reduced offtake by flour mills in the face of increased supplies from producing regions mainly put pressure on wheat prices.
In the national capital, wheat dara (for mills) declined by Rs 5 to Rs 1,565-1,570 per quintal. Atta chakki delivery also traded lower by the same margin to Rs 1,570-1,575 per 90 kg.
