Prices of sesame and cottonseed oils rose by up to Rs 100 per quintal at the wholesale oils and oilseeds market today following scattered buying by retailers.
However, other edible and non-edible oils continued to move in a narrow range in limited deals and settled around previous levels.
Traders said some buying by retailers against restricted supplies from producing belts mainly led to the rise in sesame and cottonseed oil prices.
In the national capital, sesame mill delivery oil rose by Rs 100 to Rs 7,400 per quintal.
