Barring a rise in palmolein oil prices on scattered retailers demand, other edible oils generally held steady at the wholsale oils and oilseeds market today in the absence of worthwhile activity.
Castor and linseed oils, in the non-edible segment, also firmed up on the back of increased offtake by consuming industries.
Traders attributed the rise in palmolein oil prices to mild demand from retailers.
They said increased offtake by consuming industries helped castor and linseed oil prices to rise.

In the non-edible section, castor oil recovered by Rs 50 to Rs 9,400-9,500 per quintal.
