Prices of groundnut oil drifted by Rs 100 per quintal in an otherwise steady wholesale oils and oilseeds market in the national capital today owing to slackened demand against adequate stocks position.
However, other edible and non-edible oils continued to move in a narrow range in scattered deals and settled around previous levels.
Marketmen said easing demand against adequate stocks position on higher supplies from producing belts mainly kept pressure on groundnut oil prices.
In the national capital, groundnut mill delivery (Gujarat) moved down by Rs 100 to Rs 8,500 per quintal.
