Most of the sugar stocks jumped higher in Wednesday's session. Earlier, the sugar industry body ISMA has announced production figures for the period October 1 to December 15, 2019.
The sugar production stood at 4.58 million tonnes till December 15 of the ongoing marketing year, down 35 per cent from the year-ago period, owing to the sharp fall in output in Maharashtra and Karnataka.
