Menthol prices rose by 5 per kg in the national capital today largely influenced by fresh buying support from 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 1,215, Rs 1,160 and Rs 1,080 per kg, respectively.
Market analysts said fresh buying support from pharma and other consuming industries against restricted arrivals from producing belts, mainly pushed up menthol prices on the wholesale chemical market here.
