Bajra weakens on reduced industrial offtake

In restricted activity, bajra prices fell by Rs 10 per quintal on the wholesale grains market today due to reduced industrial offtake against adequate stocks.

Elsewhere, other commodities, including wheat and rice, traded in a narrow range on alternate bouts of trading and settled around previous levels.

Traders said reduced offtake by consuming industries, mainly put pressure on the bajra prices at the wholesale market.  

Bajra declined by Rs 10 to Rs 800-810 per quintal.
