Bajra falls on sluggish demand

In limited deals, bajra prices traded marginally lower by Rs 5 per quintal due to reduced industrial demand against adequate stocks.

Other commodities, however, remained steady in the absence of worthwhile trading activity.

Traders said adequate stocks against reduced industrial demand helped bajra prices to trade marginally lower.

In the national capital, bajra prices declined by Rs 5 to Rs 825-835 per quintal.
