Wheat prices eased by Rs 10 per quintal at the wholesale grains market today due to reduced offtake by flour mills.
However, other grains moved in a narrow range in limited deals and settled around previous levels.
Traders said reduced offtake by flour mills against sufficient stocks mainly led to fall in wheat prices.
In the national capital, wheat dara (for mills)fell by Rs 10 to Rs 1,695-1,700 per quintal. Atta chakki delivery followed suit and weakened by a similar margin to Rs 1,700-1,710 per 90 kg.
