Menthol prices fell by Rs 5 per kg in the national capital today on weak domestic and export demand. Adequate stocks on increased arrivals from producing regions also put pressure on the prices.
Menthol bold crystal, menthol flake and mentha oil prices declined by Rs 5 to conclude at Rs 1,270, Rs 1,225 and Rs 1,170 per kg respectively.
Marketmen said weak domestic and export demand against increased arrivals from producing regions mainly pulled down menthol prices on the wholesale chemical market here.
