Wheat slips on adequate supply, reduced offtake

Wheat prices slid by Rs 10 per quintal in an otherwise steady wholesale grains market in the national capital today due to reduced offtake by flour mills against adequate supplies from producing areas.
However, other grains after moving in a narrow range on little doing, settled at last levels.
Traders said reduced offtake by flour mills against sufficient supplies from producing regions mainly kept pressure on wheat prices.
In the national capital, wheat dara (for mills) declined by Rs 10 to Rs 1,470-1,475 per quintal. Atta chakki delivery followed suit and traded lower by a similar margin to Rs 1,500-1,505 per 90 kg.
