Wheat prices fell by Rs 15 per quintal at the wholesale grains market today on sufficient stocks position due to pick-up in arrivals from growing regions against reduced offtake by flour mills.
However, other grains held steady in thin trade.
Traders said ample stocks position on increased supplies from producing belts against reduced offtake by flour mills led to decline in wheat prices.
