NEW DELHI, Oct 18: Select edible oil prices rose up to Rs 100 per quintal at the wholesale oils and oilseeds market today on increased buying by vanaspati millers and retailers to meet festive season demand.
However, non-edible oils moved in a narrow range on scattered enquiries from consuming industries and settled around previous levels.
Traders said increased buying by vanaspati millers and retailers to meet festive season demand mainly led to the rise in select edible oil prices.

Mustard expeller (Indore) oil traded higher by Rs 100 to Rs 7,250 per quintal.
