Prices of maize and barley gained Rs 10 per quintal at the wholesale grains market today on scattered demand from consuming industries.
However, other grains moved in a tight range in limited deals and settled around previous levels.
Marketmen said mild demand from consuming industries against restricted supplies from producing belts mainly led to the rise in maize and barley prices.
In the national capital, maize and barley moved up by Rs 10 each to Rs 1,425-1,430 and Rs 1,620-1,630 per quintal, respectively.
