Select edible oils firmed in the wholesale oils and oilseeds market today on firming trend overseas and pick up in demand from vanaspati units.
On the other side, non-edible oils continued to trade in a tight range on some enquiries from consuming industries.
Marketmen said apart from firming trend in Malaysian palm oil, strong demand from local parties and millers, also supported the recovery in select edible oil prices.
Meanwhile, palm oil futures for December delivery advanced by 0.30 per cent to $866 a metric tonne on the Malaysia Derivatives Exchange on speculation of higher imports of palm oil by China and India, the biggest users.
In the national capital, groundnut mill delivery (Gujarat) and mustard expeller (dadri) oil prices were up by Rs 20 each to Rs 8,970 and Rs 5,390 per quintal, respectively.
