Bajra prices were up by Rs 30 per quintal at the wholesale grain market today on pick up in demand from consuming industries.
However, other grains including wheat and rice, traded in a tight range in scattered deals and settled around previous levels.
Traders said pick up in demand from consuming industries against restricted supplies from producing belts mainly led to rise in bajra prices.
In the national capital, bajra moved up by Rs 30 to Rs 1,430-1,435 per quintal.
