Sugar prices at naka level declined by ₹20-40 a quintal on Thursday on higher reselling and lifting pressure. Spot rates at the Vashi wholesale market and mill tender rates ruled unchanged. Eased demand amid enough supplies kept the morale steady.

The Bombay Sugar Merchants Association spot rates (₹/quintal): S-grade 3,296-3,392 and M-grade 3,410-3,580.
