Wheat prices drifted lower by Rs 10 per quintal at the wholesale grains market today on increased supplies from producing belts and reduced offtake by flour mills.
However, other grains remained steady in thin trade.
Traders said adequate stocks position on increased arrivals from producing regions against reduced offtake by flour mills mainly led to decline in wheat prices.
