In restricted activity, mustard oil prices fell by Rs 100 per quintal at the wholesale oils and oilseeds market today owing to slackened demand from local parties.
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 local parties against adequate stocks position mainly kept pressure on mustard oil prices.
In the national capital, mustard expeller (Dadri) oil drifted by Rs 100 to Rs 8,750 per quintal. Mustard pakki and kachi ghani oils followed suit and traded lower by Rs 50 each to Rs 1,400-1,450 and Rs 1,450-1,550 per tin, respectively.
