Prices of mustard and soyabean oils declined by Rs 50 per quintal at the wholesale oils and oilseeds market today owing to slackened demand from vanaspati millers and retailers.
However, castor oil in the non-edible section, traded higher on increased offtake by consuming industries.
Traders said subdued demand from vanaspati millers and retailers against adequate stocks position mainly led to decline in mustard and soyabean oil prices.
