Maize prices looked up by Rs 15 to Rs 1,391 per quintal in futures trade today following fresh buying support at prevailing lower levels.

Marketmen said fresh buying at existing lower levels by traders mainly brought the upsurge in futures prices.

However, reports of bumper crops in maize growing regions on favourable monsoon rains somewhat capped the gains, they said.
