Wheat dara prices extended gains by adding another Rs 10 per quintal in the wholesale grains market today on increased buying by flour mills to meet the rising festival demand.
Non-basmati rice also looked up on retailers demand.
However, bajra and jowar dropped on increased arrivals from producing regions against reduced industrial offtake.
Traders said increased buying by flour mills to meet the rising festive season demand mainly pushed up wholesale wheat dara prices.
Wheat dara (for mills) rose further by Rs 10 to Rs 1,235-1,240 per quintal.
Atta chakki delivery followed suit and added another Rs 5 to Rs 1,240-1,245, while atta flour mills and sooji shot up Rs 20 each to Rs 660-680 and Rs 870-890 per 50 kg.
In the rice section, permal raw, wand, sela and IR-8 were up by Rs 10 each to Rs 2,005-2,055, Rs 2,080-2,230, Rs 2,305-2,355 and Rs 1,835-1,860 per quintal respectively.
