However, groundnut oil eased on lack of buying support.
Castor and linseed oils, in the non-edible section, ended higher due to increased offtake by the consuming industries.
Marketmen said increased offtake by vanaspati millers to meet the rising demand from retailers against paucity of stocks on fall in arrivals from producing belts amid a firm trend overseas attributed to the rise in soyabean and palmolein oil prices.
