Wheat dara eases on adequate supply

Wheat dara prices traded marginally lower by Rs 5 per quintal on the wholesale grains market today in narrow range trade due to reduced offtake by flour mills.

Elsewhere, other grains' prices moved in a narrow range on alternate bouts of trading and settled around previous levels.

Traders said reduced offtake by flour mills against adequate stocks mainly helped wheat dara prices to trade at a lower level. 

In the national capital, wheat dara (for mills) shed Rs 5 to Rs 1,305-1,310 per quintal. Atta chakki delivery followed suit and traded lower by the same margin to Rs 1,310-1,315 per 90 kg.
