Select grains rose by up to Rs 60 per quintal at the wholesale grains market due to increased offtake by consuming industries against restricted supplies from producing regions.
However, maize remained weak on adequate stocks.
Traders said increased demand from consuming industries against restricted supplies from producing belts mainly attributed the rise in bajra and barley prices.
In the national capital, bajra and barley prices rose by Rs 15 and Rs 60 to Rs 1,615-1,620 and Rs 1,400-1,410 per quintal, respectively.
On the other hand, maize remained weak and shed another Rs 100 at Rs 1,500-1,510 per quintal on increased supplies.
