Prices of bajra and maize rose up to Rs 10 per quintal at the wholesale market today on increased offtake by consuming industries.
However, other grains moved in a narrow range in limited deals and settled around previous levels.
Traders said increased offtake by consuming industries against restricted arrivals from producing belts mainly led to the rise in bajra and maize prices.
In the national capital, bajra and maize were up by Rs 5 and Rs 10 to Rs 1,215-1,220 and Rs 1,220-1,225 per quintal respectively.
