Mustard oil prices edged higher by Rs 100 per quintal in an otherwise steady wholesale oils and oilseeds market today on scattered demand from local parties.
However, other edible and non-edible oils after trading in a narrow range in limited deals settled at last levels.
Traders said mild demand from local parties against restricted supplies from producing regions mainly led to rise in mustard oil prices.
In the national capital, mustard expeller (Dadri) oil moved up by Rs 100 to Rs 8,700 per quintal. Mustard pakki and kachi ghani oils also traded higher by Rs 20 each to Rs 1,520-1,570 and Rs 1,570-1,670 per tin, respectively.
