Menthol prices rose by Rs 10 per kg in the national capital today on the back of fresh buying support from pharma and consuming units, amid tight stocks.
Tight supplies from producing areas due to adverse weather conditions and rising export demand further supported the uptrend.
Menthol bold crystal, menthol flake and mentha oil prices rose by Rs 10 to Rs 1,275, Rs 1,145 and Rs 1,085 per kg, respectively.
Analysts said fresh demand from pharma and other consuming industries against restricted arrivals from producing belts due to adversed weather conditions, mainly pushed up menthol prices on the wholesale chemical market here.
