Prices of maida and sooji rose up to Rs 20 per 50 kg in an otherwise steady wholesale grains market today on pick up in demand supported by festive season.
However, other grains including rice basmati held steady in restricted buying.
Traders said pick up in demand, triggered by festive season, attributed the rise in maida and sooji prices.
In the national capital, maida and sooji moved up by Rs 10 and Rs 20 to Rs 900-910 and Rs 1,020-1,030 per 50 kg respectively.
