Groundnut oil and cotton oil moved up on Tuesday following fresh buying by repackers and manufacturers of branded oils.
However, the retail demand was below normal.
According to market sources, prices of both edible oils may gain in the coming days as supply is weak due to shortage of raw material for crushing.
In Rajkot, groundnut oil new tin for 15 kg traded higher by Rs 5 at Rs 2,185-2,190.
Groundnut oil loose increased by Rs 10 to Rs 1,290-1,295 for 10 kg and telia tin was quoted higher by Rs 15 at Rs 1,977-1,978 for 15 kg.
About 40-50 tonnes groundnut oil were traded in mills.
An Ahmedabad-based repacker bought around 20 tonnes oil from Upleta at Rs 1,300 for 10 kg.
Cotton oil wash moved up by Rs 5 to Rs 600-603 for 10 kg and new tin gained Rs 5 to Rs 1,065-1,070 for 15 kg.
About 350-400 tonnes cotton oil was traded.
A Rajkot miller said that arrivals of groundnut have been poor so far this year and groundnut production is estimated lower.
“Trading is at a low key as traders and shelling units are protesting against new export rules,” he said.
Groundnut arrivals stood at 2,500 bags in Rajkot, 2,000 bags in Gondal and 650 bags in Jamnagar.
