The August rapeseed contract fell 0.98 percent to 4,953 rupees per 100 kg due to profit-taking.
"We witnessed profit-booking as people felt prices were not likely to surge further," said a trader from Kota in Rajasthan. "Prices will drop another 100 rupees soon." August soyaoil futures edged down 0.04 percent to 644.60 rupees per 10 kg as of 1247 GMT, due to profit-taking.
