Refined palmolein prices edged up further at the oils and oilseeds market here today due to increased demand from retailers in view of festive demand.
Groundnut oil remained stable in the absence of necessary buying support. Castorseeds futures moved up on fresh enquiries from exporters.
Non-edible oil prices too maintained a steady trend owing to lack of market-moving factors.
