NEW DELHI, Apr 30: Mentha oil prices declined by 0.28 per cent to Rs 851.80 per kg in futures market today as speculators trimmed positions amid increased supplies from producing regions against lower demand from consuming industries in the spot market.

Likewise, the oil for delivery in May shed Rs 2, or 0.24 per cent, to Rs 844 per kg in 57 lots.
Analysts said speculators trimmed positions, triggered by higher supplies from Chandausi in Uttar Pradesh against lower demand from consuming industries, mainly led to decline in mentha oil prices at futures trade. (PTI)
