Maize prices traded marginally higher by Rs 5 per quintal in lacklustre trade on the wholesale grains market today on increased demand.
However, other grains moved in a narrow range on little doing and settled at last levels.
Traders said increased demand against limited arrivals from producing regions mainly helped maize prices to trade marginally higher.
In the national capital, maize inched up by Rs 5 to Rs 1,400-1,405 per quintal.
