NEW DELHI, Sept 4: Mentha oil prices rose 0.62 per cent to Rs 685.60 per kg in futures trade today as speculators enlarged positions driven by rising demand from consuming industries in the spot market.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, mentha oil for delivery in October moved up by Rs 4.20, or 0.62 per cent, to Rs 685.60 per kg in business turnover of 47 lots.
