Prices of mustard and cottonseed oils fell up to Rs 100 per quintal at the wholesale oils and oilseeds market today on lower demand against adequate supplies from producing belts.
However, other edible and non-edible oils continued to move in tight range in scattered deals and settled around previous levels.
Traders said besides lower demand from retailers, adequate stocks position on higher supplies from producing belts mainly led to the fall in mustard and cottonseed oil prices.
