ChiniMandi, Mumbai: 20th April 2023
Domestic Market
Weak sentiment reported on subdued demand.
Domestic sugar prices fell on subdued buying activity on the back of retail demand. Buyers have covered for Ramadan and no festive season nearby is keeping prices under check after a sharp rally during the first week of the month. However, price fall was limited in Maharashtra as compared to other centres on drastic reduction in production. Prices in other centres have corrected by Rs 40-50 per Qtl while in Maharashtra prices have fallen by around Rs 15-20 per Qtl.
In the near term prices are expected to trade in a broader range with a limited downside on short supply.
