Rice up on increased buying

In restricted activities, rice prices spurted by Rs 100 per quintal at the wholesale grains market in the national capital today mostly on the back of increased buying exporters and stockists.
Wheat dara also showed some strength on increased offtake by flour mills.
Other grains, however, remained unaltered on scattered activities.
