ChiniMandi, Mumbai: 12th Feb 2025
Domestic Market
Domestic sugar prices were stable
Domestic sugar prices in major markets are reported to be stable due to strong demand. Prices are trading at nearly fifteen-year highs on the back of tighter balance sheets on export permission coupled with expected lower production.
Sugar quotes for exports range between Rs 42,000 and Rs 44,000 per MT, with low-quality whites parity up to $475 per MT. Although domestic prices are gradually increasing, the weakening INR ensures export parity.
S-grade sugar in Kolhapur costs between Rs 3,740 and 3,800 per quintal, whereas M-grade sugar in Muzaffarnagar costs between Rs 4,040 and 4,100. Prices are expected to stay high in the coming days.
