Wheat strengthens on increased offtake by flour mills

Wheat prices edged higher by Rs 5 per quintal in an otherwise steady wholesale grains market today due to increased offtake by flour mills.

However, jowar eased on subdued demand from consuming industries.

Traders attributed the rise in wheat prices to some demand from flour mills amid a pause in arrivals from growing regions.

In the national capital, wheat dara (for mills) inched up by Rs 5 to Rs 1,980-1,985 per quintal. Atta chakki delivery followed suit and enquired higher by a similar margin to Rs 1,990-1,995 per 90 kg.

On the other hand, jowar yellow and white drifted down by Rs 100 each to Rs 1,600-1,650 and Rs 2,800-2,850 per quintal.
