Menthol prices rose by up to Rs 10 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 up to Rs 10 to Rs 1,255, Rs 1,125 and Rs 1,040 per kg, respectively.
Market analysts said fresh demand from pharma and other consuming industries against restricted arrivals from producing belts, mainly pushed up menthol prices in the wholesale chemical market here.
