NEW DELHI, Jan 20: Rice basmati prices advanced by Rs 100 per quintal at the wholesale grains market today on increased offtake by stockists against restricted supplies from producing belts.
Wheat also edged up on scattered demand from flour mills.
Traders said persistent buying by stockists following pick-up in demand against limited supplies from producing belts, mainly kept rice basmati prices higher.
In the national capital, rice basmati common and Pusa- 1121 variety advanced by Rs 100 each to Rs 8,100-8,200 and Rs 6,700-6,800 per quintal, respectively.
