Thymol rises on tight supply, increased demand

In restricted activity, thymol prices looked up by Rs 5 per kg at the local chemical market today due to increased demand from consuming industries against tight supplies from producing areas.
However, other chemicals traded in a narrow range in limited deals and settled around previous levels.
Traders said increased demand from consuming industries and tight supplies from producing belts helped thymol to trade higher.
In the national capital, thymol inched up by Rs 5 to Rs 945 per kg.
