NEW DELHI, Sept 18: Prices of groundnut and mustard oils rose Rs 50 per quintal at the wholesale oils and oilseeds market today on pick up in retailers demand.
However, other edible and non-edible oils moved in a narrow range in limited deals and settled around previous levels.
Traders said some demand from retailers amid restricted supplies from producing belts mainly led to rise in groundnut and mustard oil prices.
Meanwhile, government today hiked import duty on edible oil by 5 per cent in a bid to safeguard the domestic industry.
Duty on crude edible oil has been increased from 7.5 per cent to 12.5 per cent and on refined edible oil from 15 to 20 per cent.
