ChiniMandi, Mumbai: 19th Mar 2025
Domestic Market
Domestic sugar prices remained generally steady
Domestic sugar prices were constant in the major markets of Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Uttar Pradesh. According to market participants, demand is low despite the Holi and Ramadan holidays, as a price hike that began in mid-January has put pressure on prices. Prices increased following export permission, but demand is claimed to be weak at higher prices, despite a dramatic decline in supply.
According to estimates, sugar for export is currently selling for around Rs 42,000 per MT, with some contracts costing Rs 44,000 per MT. The most active contract values London whites at $560 per MT, while low-quality whites are priced between par and $470 per MT.
M-grade sugar in Muzaffarnagar is between Rs 4,020 and Rs 4,050 per quintal, and S-grade sugar in Kolhapur costs between Rs 3,760 and Rs 3,810.
