Continuing their upward journey, select edible oils registered further gains at the wholesale oils and oilseeds market during the week on sustained buying by vanaspati millers and retailers, driven by wedding season demand.
A few oils, in the non-edible section, also moved up on increased offtake by consuming industries.
Traders said apart from sustained buying by vanaspati millers and retailers to meet rising wedding season demand against restricted supplies from producing belts, a better global trend also influenced edible oil prices.
