Domestic sugar prices in the major markets were reported to be stable or higher. Prices rose by Rs 10 per quintal in Maharashtra, while sentiment remained stable in Uttar Pradesh. It is said that at higher price points, demand is average.

The price range for S-grade sugar in Kolhapur was Rs 3,670 to 3,710 per quintal, whereas the price range for M-grade sugar in Muzaffarnagar was Rs 3,970 to 4,020.
