New Delhi, Feb 25 (PTI) Almond prices were up by Rs 100 per 40 kg in the national capital today on the back of fresh buying by retailers and pick up in demand from bulk consumers.

Marketmen said increased buying by retailers and stockists driven by ongoing wedding season against restricted supplies from overseas markets, mainly pushed up almond prices.
