Non-basmati rice prices fell up to Rs 100 per quintal at the wholesale grains market today on reduced offtake by stockists against sluggish demand.
However, other grains after moving in a narrow range in scattered deals, settled around previous levels.
Traders said reduced offtake by stockists against sluggish demand mainly led to decline in non-basmati rice prices.
In the national capital, permal raw and wand fell by Rs 50 each to Rs 2,050-2,150, Rs 2,200-2,225 per quintal, respectively.
Permal sela also lost Rs 100 at Rs 2,800-2,825, while IR-8 weakened by Rs 25 to Rs 1,825-1,850 per quintal, respectively.
