Domestic Sugar prices ruled steady
Steady sentiment continued in domestic sugar prices in the major markets of Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh. Sugar prices at Kolhapur (S grade) traded in the range of Rs 3,390-3,430 per qtl, while in Muzaffarnagar (M grade), prices were in the range of Rs 3,600-3,630 per qtl.
