NEW DELHI, Mar 29: In restricted activity, rice basmati prices rose by Rs 100 per quintal on the wholesale grains market today on stockists buying.
However, other grains moved in a narrow range on alternate bouts of trading and settled around previous levels.
Traders said stockists buying against tight supplies from producing regions mainly led to rise in rice basmati prices.
In the national capital, rice basmati common and Pusa-1121- variety rose by Rs 100 each to Rs 9,000-9,300 and Rs 8,050-9,800 per quintal respectively.
