Maize and barley also traded higher, supported by pickup in demand from consuming industries.
However, rice basmati and non-basmati traded lower on sluggish demand against sufficient stocks.
Traders said increased offtake by flour mills in the face of restricted supplies from producing belts mainly led to rise in wheat prices.
In the national capital, wheat dara (for mills) rose by Rs 15 to Rs 1,605-1,610 per quintal. Atta chakki delivery followed suit and traded higher at Rs 1,615-1,620 from previous level of Rs 1,605-1,610 per 90 kg.
