Wheat prices went down by Rs 20 per quintal at the wholesale grains market today due to reduced offtake by flour mills against adequate stocks position.
However, other grains held steady in thin trade.
Traders said, besides reduced offtake by flour mills, ample stocks position on higher supplies from producing belts, mainly led to the decline in wheat prices.
In the national capital, wheat dara (for mills) fell by Rs 20 to Rs 1,785-1,790 per quintal. Atta chakki delivery followed suit and traded lower by a similar margin to Rs 1,795-1,800 per 90 kg.
