What the numbers say

Gingelly oil is a processed edible oil, so it is quoted by mills and the wholesale oil trade rather than at a single produce mandi. The reference here is normalized to a per-kg figure from wholesale market data; the rate ultimately tracks sesame-seed prices plus a crushing-and-grade premium.

Understanding the price

What affects the gingelly (sesame) oil price?

Gingelly oil — better known as til oil or nallennai — is the golden, nutty-aromatic oil pressed from sesame seed (Sesamum indicum). It is a staple of South Indian cooking and a fixture of traditional Indian kitchens and rituals, prized both for high-heat cooking and as a finishing and tempering oil. Its price tracks the underlying sesame-seed market closely, since the seed is by far the largest cost in the bottle.

Sesame-seed price

The raw seed is the dominant input cost, so gingelly oil moves with sesame-seed mandi rates, which swing with acreage, weather and arrivals.

Cold-pressed vs refined

Traditional wood- or cold-pressed (chekku / ganne) oil commands a clear premium over solvent-extracted and refined gingelly oil.

Export pull on sesame

India is a major sesame-seed exporter; strong overseas demand for seed lifts the seed price and, with it, the oil.

Purity & adulteration

Genuine, unblended sesame oil costs more than product cut with cheaper edible oils; guaranteed-pure, unadulterated oil carries a premium.

Major producing regions

Tamil Nadu

Heartland of nallennai use and traditional chekku (wood-pressed) gingelly oil.

Gujarat & Rajasthan

Among India's largest sesame-seed growing belts that feed the crushing trade.

West Bengal & Madhya Pradesh

Significant sesame cultivation supplying seed to oil millers.

Andhra Pradesh & Telangana

Notable sesame acreage and regional gingelly-oil demand.

Grades & varieties

Cold-pressed / chekku (wood-pressed) — Traditionally extracted, unrefined, full-aroma oil — the premium grade.
Filtered / virgin — Mechanically pressed and filtered, retaining flavour — mid-tier.
Refined — Solvent-extracted and refined for a neutral, light oil — the value end.

Market factors

Export relevance

India is one of the world's leading exporters of sesame seed, and that export demand is a key influence on domestic seed — and therefore gingelly-oil — prices. Finished gingelly oil itself also has a steady export and diaspora market for authentic, traditionally pressed grades.

Seasonal trends

Sesame is grown in both kharif and summer seasons, with the main seed arrivals after harvest (broadly autumn into winter, with a summer crop in some states). Oil prices tend to ease when seed is plentiful at peak arrivals and firm later as seed stocks draw down.

What is the price of Gingelly (Sesame) Oil in India today?

Gingelly (Sesame) Oil is trading at ₹320 per kg in India as of 25 Jun 2026 — a reference wholesale rate aggregated from authorised public sources and normalized to ₹/kg. Indicative, for reference only — not an AroWest retail price.

What is the gingelly (sesame) oil price today in India?

The figure above is an indicative wholesale / market reference rate per kilogram, compiled from authorised public sources and normalized to per kg. It reflects bulk trade for sesame oil and moves with the underlying seed price.

Is this AroWest's retail price for gingelly oil?

No — this is an indicative wholesale / market reference, not AroWest's retail price and not a live guaranteed quote. Packaged and graded AroWest gingelly oil is priced separately in the shop.

Why is cold-pressed (chekku) gingelly oil more expensive?

Traditional wood- or cold-pressing yields less oil per batch and keeps the natural aroma and nutrients intact, so it consistently sells at a premium over solvent-extracted, refined gingelly oil.

Is gingelly oil the same as til oil?

Yes — gingelly oil, til oil and nallennai all refer to oil pressed from sesame seed. Note it is distinct from the dark, toasted sesame oil used in East Asian cooking.
