Menthol prices fell by upto Rs 10 per kg in the national capital today on the back of subdued demand from consuming units. Adequate stocks followed by increased arrivals from the producing belts in Uttar Pradesh also put pressure on the prices.
Menthol bold crystal, flake and mentha oil prices fell up to Rs 10 to Rs 860, Rs 815 and Rs 760 per kg, respectively.
Marketmen said reduced offtake by consuming units against increased arrivals from producing belts in Uttar Pradesh markets mainly led to a decline in menthol prices.
