Prices of mustard and cottonseed oils fell by Rs 50 per quintal at the wholesale oils and oilseeds market today owing to slackened 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 subdued demand from retailers against adequate stocks position mainly kept pressure on mustard and cottonseed oil prices.
