Bajra falls on subdued demand, adequate supply
Press Trust of India New Delhi Bajra prices fell by Rs 20 per quintal in lacklustre trade on the wholesale grains market today due to subdued demand at prevailing higher levels against adequate supplies from producing belts.
However, other grains held steady in scattered deals.
Traders said subdued demand at prevailing higher levels against adequate supplies from producing belts mainly led to decline in bajra prices.
In the national capital, bajra fell by Rs 20 to Rs 1,270-1,275 per quintal.
