Menthol prices fell by Rs 5 per kg in the national capital today on weak domestic and export demand. Adequate stocks following increased arrivals from producing regions also put pressure on the prices.
Menthol bold crystal, menthol flake and mentha oil prices declined by Rs 5 to settle at Rs 1,125, Rs 1,055 and Rs 970 per kg, respectively.
Market analysts said weak domestic and export demand against increased arrivals from producing regions mainly pulled down menthol prices in the wholesale chemical market here.
