Continuous supply from mills, sufficient quota for October 20, and need-based bulk and local demand kept sugar prices unchanged at Vashi on Monday. Mill tender rates decline by ₹10 as mills continuous selling to manage finance. Due to limited demand, selling pressure kept morale steady, said sources.
Arrivals at Vashi were about 32-34 truckloads (each of 10 tonnes) and local dispatches were at same level. At Vashi, inventory reached to 100 truckloads. Freight rates were steady ₹80-100 per bag.
Market players were optimistic about higher festival demand during the second half of October, especially from North-East, along with the bulk demand with opening of hotel, restaurants and canteens etc, sources said.
