Maize moves up on increased demand

Maize prices rose by Rs 25 per quintal in an otherwise steady wholesale grains market today on increased demand. 

Elsewhere, other commodities moved in a narrow range in restricted buying activity and settled around previous levels.

Traders said increased demand against tight supply mainly helped maize prices to move up.
