Elsewhere, wheat, rice and other grains continued to trade at previous levels in the absence of worthwhile activity.
Traders said rise in demand against restricted arrivals from producing regions led to the gain in maize prices.
In the national capital, maize moved up by Rs 50 to Rs 1,255-1,260 per quintal.
Following are today's quotations (in Rs per quintal):
Wheat MP (deshi) 2,245-2,445, Wheat dara (for mills) 1,580-1,585, Chakki atta (delivery) 1,585-1,590, Atta Rajdhani (10 kg) 220, Shakti bhog (10 kg) 220, Roller flour mill 840-845 (50 kg), Maida 970-980 (50 kg) and Sooji 1,015-1,025 (50 kg).
