MUMBAI – Ex-mill prices of sugar were mixed in the key markets of Uttar Pradesh, traders said. Mills in west Uttar Pradesh kept prices steady but a few mills in central Uttar Pradesh cut prices. In Maharashtra, prices were steady as demand and supply were on par, they added.

 

Mills in west Uttar Pradesh kept prices steady as demand was need-based, said Naresh Gupta, a trader from north India. In the central part of the state, a few mills that had not cut prices on Saturday reduced rates by INR 25 per 100 kg on Monday, he said. 

 

Demand for the sweetener has been sluggish so far in April due to rainfall in several parts of the country. "Moisture can damage sugar, which is why traders in the resale markets are not keeping stocks in the pipeline," Gupta said. 

 

In Maharashtra, mills kept prices steady as demand was need-based, said Mukesh Kuvadia, secretary of the Bombay Sugar Merchants Association. Prices may remain at current levels in the days to come, he said.

 

Following are the highlights of sugar prices in the domestic market:

--Flat at INR 3,910-INR 4,050 per 100 kg in western Uttar Pradesh

--Down INR 25 at INR 3,900-INR 4,025 100 kg in central Uttar Pradesh

--Flat at INR 3,970-INR 4,053 per 100 kg in Mumbai

--Flat at INR 3,760-INR 3,820 per 100 kg in Kolhapur

 

At 1635 IST, sugar prices on the Intercontinental Exchange were up nearly 1% at 13.87 cents a pound despite higher availability of sugar globally.  End
