Edible oils, such as cooking and mustard oils, experienced a significant price increase, with the price of open edible oil escalating from Rs480 to Rs500 per litre.

A local merchant reported, “Mustard oil has risen in price by Rs20 per litre, now costing Rs520.”

Different brands of cooking oil were noted to be priced variably in Karachi’s markets, indicative of the prevailing inflationary trend in food products.
