Prices of palmolein and soyabean oils fell by Rs 50 per quintal at the wholesale oils and oilseeds market today on slackened demand.
However, other edible and non-edible oils moved in a narrow range in scattered deals and settled around previous levels.
Traders attributed the fall in palmolein and soyabean oil prices to sluggish demand against adequate stocks positions.
