Mentha oil remained up for the second day as prices rose further by 0.16% to Rs 856.50 per kg in futures trading today on the back of pick-up in demand from consuming industries in the spot market.

At the Multi Commodity Exchange, mentha oil for delivery in May added Rs 1.40, or 0.16%, to Rs 856.50 per kg in a business turnover of 45 lots.
