Similarly, in Neemuch and Morena mandis, mustard oil ruled higher at ₹660 (up ₹5 from last week) and ₹670 (up ₹5 from last week). In Rajasthan mandis also, mustard oil traded higher at ₹670 (up ₹5 from last week). Mustard ruled flat at ₹3,600-3,700 a quintal on subdued buying, while raida was at ₹3,500 (up ₹200 from last week).
