Sesame oil prices edged up by Rs 50 per quintal in an otherwise steady wholesale oils and oilseeds market today on selective buying by retailers.
However, other edible and non-edible oils continued to move in a narrow range on alternate bouts of trading and settled around previous levels.
Marketmen said selective buying by retailers helped sesame oil prices to rise.
In the national capital, sesame mill delivery oil rose by Rs 50 to Rs 8,700 per quintal.
