Mustard oil prices fell by Rs 50 per quintal in an otherwise steady wholesale oils and oilseeds market today owing to slackened demand from local parties.
However, other edible and non-edible oils continued to move in a narrow range in limited deals and settled at previous levels.
Traders said besides fall in local parties demand, adequate stocks position in the market mainly kept pressure on mustard oil prices.
In the national capital, mustard expeller (Dadri) oil declined by Rs 50 to Rs 7,500 per quintal.
