Menthol prices fell by Rs 5 per kg in the national capital today, due to lack of demand from consuming units amid adequate stocks.
Increased arrivals from producing belts in Uttar Pradesh also put pressure on the prices. Menthol bold crystal, flake and mentha oil prices fell by Rs 5 each to Rs 1,125, Rs 1,055 and Rs 970 per kg, respectively.
Market analysts said reduced offtake by consuming units against increased arrivals from producing belts in Uttar Pradesh markets mainly put pressure on the menthol prices.
