Menthol prices rose by 5 per kg in the national capital on Friday owing to fresh buying support from pharma and consuming units, amid tight stocks.
Restricted supplies from producing belts also influenced the prices. Menthol bold crystal, menthol flake and mentha oil prices rose by Rs 5 each to Rs 1,275, Rs 1,230 and Rs 1,175 a kg, respectively.
Market analysts said fresh buying support from pharma and other consuming industries against restricted arrivals from producing belts, mainly pushed up menthol prices.
