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.
