Menthol prices rose by Rs 5 per kg in the national capital today on the back of fresh buying support from pharma and consuming units amid tight stocks.

Restricted supplies from producing belts also influenced the prices.

Menthol bold crystal, menthol flake and mentha oil prices rose by Rs 5 each to Rs 1,130, Rs 1,060 and Rs 975 per kg, respectively.
