Rice basmati prices shot up by Rs 100 per quintal at the wholesale grains market today on increased offtake by stockists.
However, wheat and other grains held steady in restricted deals.
Traders said increased buying by stockists against limited arrivals from producing regions mainly led to the rise in rice basmati prices.
In the national capital, rice basmati common and Pusa-1121 variety rose by Rs 100 each to Rs 8,600-9,100 and Rs 7,500-9,200 per quintal, respectively.
