Buoyed by a firm trend at the spot market on pick up in demand from pharmaceutical units, mentha oil prices moved up by Rs 7.30 to Rs 1,240 per kg in the futures market today.
Restricted arrivals from producing regions also supported the uptrend.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, October mentha oil rose by Rs 7.30, or 0.59 per cent to Rs 1,240 per kg in business turnover of 235 lots.
