Sugar prices on the Vashi wholesale market ruled steady on Monday as producers continued selling at current prices, while retailer’s demand remained need-based and routine. Naka rates were mixed with ₹10 lower and ₹10 higher based on quality. Producers kept tender prices unchanged, as buying response was lower than expected due to rain in many parts.
