However, other grains held steady in restricted deals.
Traders said increased offtake by consuming industries amid restricted arrivals from producing regions mainly led to the rise in maize and barley prices.
In the national capital, maize and barley rose by Rs 20 and Rs 25 to Rs 1,300-1,305 and Rs 1,625-1,635 per quintal respectively.
Following are today's quotations (in Rs per quintal):
Wheat MP (deshi) 2,250-2,650, Wheat dara (for mills) 1,635-1,640, Chakki atta (delivery) 1,640-1,645, Atta Rajdhani (10 kg) 220, Shakti bhog (10 kg) 220, Roller flour mill Rs 860-870 (50 kg), Maida 915-920 (50 kg) and Sooji 965-985 (50 kg).
