Rice basmati, other bold grains up on rising demand

Rice basmati and a few other bold grains rose by up to Rs 100 per quintal at the wholesale grains market today due to increased demand.
However, wheat slipped on ample stocks against reduced offtake by flour mills.
Traders attributed the rise in rice basmati and a few other bold grain prices to upsurge in demand.
In the national capital, rice basmati common and Pusa 1121 variety moved up by Rs 100 each to Rs 4,800-5,000 and Rs 3,900-4,700 per quintal respectively. Non-basmati rice Sela and IR-8 also up by Rs 100 and Rs 50 to Rs 2,800-2,900 and Rs 1,850-1,860 per quintal respectively.

Other bold grains like, barley and maize rose by Rs 40 each to Rs 1,650-1,655 and Rs 1,590-1,600 per quintal.
Bajra too went up by Rs 20 to Rs 1,330-1,335 per quintal.

On the other hand, wheat dara (for mills) fell by Rs 15 to Rs 1,800-1,805 per quintal. Atta chakki delivery followed suit and eased by a similar margin to Rs 1,805-1,810 per 90 kg.
