Menthol prices rose by Rs 5 per kg at the wholesale chemical market in the national capital today on fresh buying support from pharmaceutical units amid paucity of stocks.

Besides, firming trend at domestic spot market and restricted supplies in the physical market from Chandausi in Uttar Pradesh, supported the uptrend.

Menthol bold crystal, menthol flake and mentha oil prices were trading up by Rs 5 each to conclude at Rs 1,185, Rs 1,165 and Rs 1,355 per kg, respectively.

Traders said, increased demand from pharmaceutical and other consuming industries against restricted supplies from Chandausi in Uttar Pradesh, mainly pushed up menthol prices.
