Shares of sugar producing companies continued trading higher for second straight day on the bourses on expectations of lower domestic sugar output in FY16 owing to drought conditions in major producing states together with mandatory exports that have led to an uptrend in domestic sugar prices.

Dwarikesh Sugar Industries, Dalmia Bharat Sugar, Oudh Sugar Mills, Kesar Enterprises, Uttam Sugar Mills and Rajshree Sugars have rallied more than 9% each on the BSE.

Mawana Sugars, Ugar Sugar Works, DCM Shriram Industries, Upper Ganges Sugars, Sakthi Sugars, Bannari Amman Sugars, Dhampur Sugar Mills, Balrampur Chini Mills and Dharani Sugars gained between 5%-9%.

Dwarikesh Sugars Industries has rallied 20% to Rs 160, also its 52-week high on the BSE in intra-day trade. In past two trading sessions, the stock zoomed 44% from Rs 111 on March 3, after the rating agency ICRA upgraded the long-term rating of the Line of Credit (LOC). The outlook on the long term rating has been changed to positive from stable.

“The rating action factors in the improved outlook for the company’s core sugar business arising out of the significant increase in domestic sugar prices coupled with an improvement in the recovery of sugar from sugarcane leading to lower cost of production during SY16,” ICRA said in a statement.
