NEW DELHI, June 23: Groundnut oil prices rose by Rs 100 per quintal at the wholesale oils and oilseeds market today on mild demand from retailers.
However, soyabean oil prices drifted lower on lack of buying support.
On the other hand, non-edible oils moved in a narrow range in limited deals and pegged at last levels.
Traders said some enquiries from retailers against restricted arrivals from producing belts led to the rise in groundnut oil prices.
