Supported by increased demand from vanaspati millers and retailers, select edible oil prices rose by up to Rs 100 per quintal at the wholesale oils and oilseeds market today.
Besides, restricted supplies from producing regions due to heavy rains also influenced sentiment.
Castor oil in the non-edible section, traded higher on increased offtake by consuming industries.
Marketmen said pick-up in demand from vanaspati millers and retailers against restricted supplies from producing belts mainly led to the rise in select edible oils prices.
