Bhamre told CNBC-TV18, "In Chennai Petroleum Corporation we saw good amount of build up yesterday, around 14-15%. The stock has good support around Rs 240 to 235. I think it is more of long positions. You saw good volumes; cost of carry had increased significantly. So we are expecting price escalation to Rs 275-272 levels, so fix a stoploss of around Rs 236 and go long for those targets."
