Mustard oil prices eased by Rs 50 per quintal in an otherwise steady wholesale market today on tepid demand from local parties.
However, other edible and non-edible oils continued to trade in a tight range in the absence of any worthwhile activity and settled around previous levels.
Traders said subdued demand from local parties against adequate stocks position led to decline in mustard oil prices.
In the national capital, mustard expeller (Dadri) oil declined by Rs 50 to Rs 8,850 per quintal.
