Wheat prices rose by Rs 10 per quintal on the wholesale grains market today on fresh buying by stockists and flour mills buying against limited supplies.
However, other grains moved in a narrow range in limited deals and settled around previous levels.
Traders said fresh buying by stockists and flour mills against limited supplies from producing regions mainly led to rise in wheat prices.
