Domestic Market
Domestic sugar prices are stable to higher
Sugar prices across major domestic markets have been steady to higher in the major markets, supported by firm demand. Currently, sugar is trading at multi-year highs, largely due to tight stock availability in the domestic market. The situation is further impacted by expected delays in the start of crushing operations in Karnataka, a key contributor to national sugar output.
For October 2025, the government has released a monthly quota of 24 lakh tons, which is 0.5 lakh tons higher than the previous month but 1.5 lakh tons lower than the same month last year. With the festive season approaching, demand is projected to remain strong, likely keeping prices on an upward trajectory.
In Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh, M-grade sugar is quoted in the range of ₹4,000–₹4,100 per quintal, reflecting firmer pricing in northern markets. In contrast, S-grade sugar in Kolhapur, Maharashtra, is trading between ₹3,850–₹3,900 per quintal, highlighting the regional price spread.
