Maize, bajra extend losses on adequate supply

Maize and bajra extended losses for the second day at the wholesale grains market today following higher supplies against subdued demand.
However, other grains including wheat and rice basmati moved in a tight range in scattered deals and settled around previous levels.
Traders said adequate stocks following increased supplies against easing demand from consuming industries mainly kept pressure on maize and bajra prices.
In the national capital, maize and bajra fell further to Rs 1,200-1,210 and Rs 1,250-1,255 from previous levels of Rs 1,225-1,230 and Rs 1,260-1,265 per quintal, respectively.
