India, March 6 -- Zinc prices rose marginally by 45 paise to Rs 324.95 per kg in futures trade on Friday amid firm demand, even as traders remained cautious due to the absence of strong market triggers.

On the Multi Commodity Exchange, zinc contracts for April delivery edged up 45 paise, or 0.14 per cent, to Rs 324.95 per kg, with a business turnover of 50 lots.

Market participants said the uptick in zinc futures was supported by limited buying at lower levels, although the lack of fresh cues kept overall sentiment restrained.
