Rice basmati prices moved up by Rs 100 per quintal at the wholesale market today on tight stocks on restricted supplies from producing regions against rising demand.
However, maize eased on reduced offtake by consuming industries.
Marketmen said besides demand from retailers, restricted supplies from producing regions mainly attributed rise in rice basmati prices.
In the national capital, rice basmati Pusa-1121 variety rose by Rs 100 to Rs 4,600-5,400, while rice basmati common held steady at Rs 6,100-6,200 per quintal respectively.
