Barley prices traded lower by Rs 10 per quintal in an otherwise steady wholesale grains market today on reduced offtake by consuming industries against sufficient supplies.
However, other grains moved in a narrow range in limited deals and settled at last levels.
Traders said reduced offtake by consuming industries against sufficient supplies from producing regions helped barley prices to trade lower.
In the national capital, barley declined by Rs 10 to Rs 1,430-1,435 per quintal.
