Groundnut oil prices strengthened up to Rs 100 per quintal in an otherwise wholesale oils and oilseeds market today due to pick-up in demand from retailers.
However, other edible and non-edible oils moved in a narrow range in limited deals and settled around previous levels.
Traders said pick-up in demand from retailers, driven by wedding season, mainly influenced groundnut oil prices.
In the national capital, groundnut mill delivery (Gujarat) advanced by Rs 100 to Rs 8,400 per quintal.
