Prices of palmolein and soyabean oils rose by Rs 100 per quintal at the wholesale oils and oilseeds market today following increased offtake by vanaspati millers.
Castor oil in the non-edible section, also traded higher on pick-up in demand from consuming industries.
Traders said, increased offtake by vanaspati millers to meet rising festive season demand from retailers amid restricted arrivals from producing belts mainly attributed the rise in palmolein and soyabean oil prices.
Depreciating rupee against the dollar also influenced sentiment, they said.
