Domestic Market
Steady sentiment continued in domestic sugar prices
Domestic sugar prices across the markets were reported to be stable for the second session. As most of the mills in Uttar Pradesh have sold the monthly quota aggressively from the beginning of the month, selling pressure is said to be less. In addition, there are rumours that Sugar MSP will be increased which is also supporting the prices.
S-grade sugar prices in Kolhapur range between Rs 3,560 and 3,585, while M-grade sugar in Muzaffarnagar trades for Rs 3,800 to 3,830. According to Agrimandi, S grade sugar in the Kolhapur market is expected to trade between Rs 3,520 and Rs 3,620 per quintal over the next two weeks.
