Menthol prices fell up to 10 per kg in the national capital today owing to reduced offtake by consuming units amid adequate stocks.
Weakening trend in futures market and increased arrivals from the producing belts in Uttar Pradesh also weighed on the menthol prices. Menthol bold crystal, flake and mentha oil prices fell up to Rs 10 to Rs 870, Rs 830 and Rs 780 per kg, respectively.
