Menthol prices rose by Rs 5 per kg in the national capital today on the back of fresh buying support from pharma and other consuming units.
Tight stocks due to restricted supplies from producing belts also influenced the prices. Menthol bold crystal, menthol flake and mentha oil prices rose by Rs 5 each to Rs 1,400, Rs 1,320 and Rs 1,235 per kg, respectively.
Market analysts said fresh demand from pharma and other consuming industries against restricted arrivals from producing belts mainly pushed up menthol prices in the wholesale chemical market here.
