Mentha oil prices fell by 2.88% to Rs 814 per kg in futures trade today as speculators indulged in profit-booking amid subdued spot demand.
Besides, adequate stocks position following increased arrivals from Chandousi in Uttar Pradesh also led to the fall.

Similarly, mentha oil prices for the June delivery drifted by Rs 8.90, or 1.07%, to Rs 818.10 per kg, with a business turnover of 367 lots.
