Domestic sugar prices remained stable to higher
Domestic sugar prices remained largely stable in today’s trading session in the major markets of Maharashtra while traded higher in Uttar Pradesh. Prices are trading steady over the last 3-4 sessions after a continued downward trend in Maharashtra. As prices have corrected around Rs 2-3 per kg from the recent high, they are holding steady at the current levels.
According to market sources, the Indian government is likely to increase the minimum selling price (MSP) of sugar from the current Rs. 31 per kg to around Rs. 37.50–38.00 per kg. Sources further indicate that an official notification regarding the MSP hike is expected early next week.
In Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh, M-grade sugar was quoted in the range of ₹3,880–₹3,980 per quintal, higher by Rs 10-20 per quintal. Meanwhile, in Kolhapur, Maharashtra, S-grade sugar traded at ₹3,530–₹3,580 per quintal quoting steady over the last 3-4 sessions.
