Wheat prices edged up by Rs 10 per quintal in lacklustre trade on the wholesale grains market today on scattered buying from flour mills.
However, other grains traded steady in the absence of worthwhile activity.
Traders said some demand from flour mills led to rise in wheat prices.
In the national capital, wheat dara (for mills) rose by Rs 10 to Rs 1,670-1,675 per quintal. Atta chakki delivery followed suit and traded higher by a similar margin to Rs 1675-1680 per 90 kg.
The following were today's quotations per quintal:
