Domestic Market

Steady sentiment continued in domestic Sugar prices

Domestic sugar prices were reported to be stable for the second session. Due to rumours of increased sugar allocation to ethanol, mills stopped selling today as increased allocation to ethanol if any, would likely to reduce the sugar production. Indian sugar production is expected to reach 32 MMT due to higher production in Maharashtra and Karnataka than previously expected.

According to reports, S-grade sugar in Kolhapur costs between Rs 3,420 and Rs 3,460 per quintal, whereas M-grade sugar in Muzaffarnagar costs between Rs 3,730 and Rs 3,790. According to Agrimandi, the cost of S grade sugar in the Kolhapur market is expected to range between Rs 3,400 and Rs 3,550 per quintal in the coming two weeks. However, prices in Solapur were reported to be between Rs 3,330 and Rs 3,400 per quintal.
