Maize prices inched up by Rs 5 per quintal in lacklustre trade at the wholesale grains market today due to improved demand from retailers.
Elsewhere, other grains continued to move in a narrow range in scattered deals and settled around previous levels.
Traders said scattered demand from retailers mainly helped maize prices to trade shade higher.
In the national capital, maize edged up by Rs 5 to Rs 1,270-1,275 per quintal.
