Mixed trend in ex-factory prices; wholesale market rates firm
New Delhi. Despite the government's stringent measures causing a continuous decline in ex-factory sugar prices, this trend has not yet impacted wholesale and retail market rates.
Mill Delivery Prices
During the week of September 5–11, mill delivery prices for sugar fell by ₹650 per quintal in Western Uttar Pradesh, ₹200–300 in Gujarat, and ₹60 in Bihar, whereas prices rose by ₹50 per quintal in Eastern Uttar Pradesh and ₹100 in Madhya Pradesh.
Spot Prices
However, the trend in spot prices moved in the opposite direction, showing an upward momentum. While sugar prices remained stable at ₹5,850–6,000 per quintal in Delhi, they rose by ₹300 to ₹5,100–5,200 per quintal in Indore, surged by ₹400 to ₹5,200–5,300 per quintal in Raipur, and increased by ₹200 to ₹4,700–4,900 per quintal in Mumbai (Vashi).
Port Delivery Prices
Port delivery prices also saw a rise of ₹200, reaching ₹4,650–4,850 per quintal. In Kolkata, spot prices for sugar recorded a decline of ₹50–65 per quintal.
Tenders
Sugar tender prices in Maharashtra and Karnataka dropped by ₹200–300 per quintal. In the retail market, sugar prices continue to hover above ₹60 per kilogram. It was anticipated that retail prices would decrease following the drop in ex-factory and wholesale rates, but this has not yet materialized.
