Wheat prices marginally went up by Rs 10 per quintal at the wholesale grains market today following increased offtake by flour mills.
However, other grains after trading in a narrow range in scattered deals, settled around previous levels.
Traders attributed the rise in wheat prices to increased demand from flour mills.
