NEW DELHI, Oct 1:  Zinc futures edged lower by 0.21 per cent to Rs 140.75 per kg today as speculators reduced positions amid weak cues from overseas markets.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, zinc for delivery in October shed 30 paise, or 0.21 per cent, to Rs 140.75 per kg, with a business turnover of 223 lots.
The metal for delivery in November fell by a similar margin to Rs 141.50 per kg in a turnover of 3 lots.
