Rice basmati prices firmed up by Rs 200 per quintal at the wholesale grains market today on emergence of stockists buying against restricted supplies from producing belts.
However, other grains traded in a tight range in scattered deals and settled around previous levels.
Traders said besides emergence of buying by stockists, restricted arrivals from producing belts mainly led to the rise in rice basmati prices.
In the national capital, rice basmati common and Pusa-1121 variety moved up by Rs 200 each to Rs 5,200-5,700 and Rs 4,200-5,300 per quintal, respectively.
