NEW DELHI, June 7: Wheat prices edged higher by Rs 10 per quintal in an otherwise steady wholesale grains market today due to increased offtake by flour mills amid pause in arrivals from growing regions.
However, other grains remained flat in thin trade.
Traders said, besides increased offtake by flour mills, fall in supplies from producing belts led to rise in wheat prices.
In the national capital, wheat dara (for mills) rose by Rs 10 to Rs 1,745-1,750 per quintal. Atta chakki delivery followed suit and traded higher by a similar margin to Rs 1,750-1,755 per quintal.
