Sugar prices on the Vashi wholesale market ruled steady but the inferior grade sold at price ₹8-10 a quintal lower on Tuesday. Naka and mill tender rates were unchanged as mills continued to keep offer for sale/tenders open on slack demand. Market traders said as supply is ample activities remained routine and need-based. With the festival demand getting over the market is likely to see range-bound volatility. Prices at mill level are ruling below the production cost.
