ChiniMandi, Mumbai: 17h October 2023
Domestic Market
Domestic sugar prices remained stable.
After rising last week, sugar prices in the major domestic market have remained stable for the last two sessions. Prices are expected to rise due to the delayed start of the crushing season and the upcoming festive season. Supply is tighter and delay in crushing is likely to tighten the balance sheet further.
In Kolhapur, quintals of S-grade sugar cost between Rs. 3,650 and 3,690, while quintals of M-grade sugar cost between Rs. 3,880 and 3,910. According to Agrimandi.live, S grade sugar will cost between Rs 3,620 and Rs 3,700 in Kolhapur markets.
