Yes, both the proceeding for maintenance lies and the court in DV proceeding can grant maintenance in addition to what has been fixed in civil litigation.

The MM has granted interim maintenance under which provision of law, you have not mentioned. Presumably it can be u/s 22 of the Protection of Women From Domestic Violence Act, 2005, isn't it?
Other provisions for maintenance are independent and application for the same can be filed separately.
