 "Sugar stocks rally on heavy volumes; Dwarikesh, Upper Ganges up 10%")
Shares of sugar companies have rallied by up to 15% in Friday’s trade in otherwise subdued market on back of heavy volumes.

The credit rating agency ICRA had recently upgraded the long-term rating for bank loans from [ICRA] BBB- to [ICRA] A-. The outlook on the long-Term rating has been revised to ‘Stable’ from ‘Positive’.
The three-notch upgrade in rating is a result of significant improvement in the financials of the company post the recent equity infusion via QIP and strong cash flows in the last few quarters. Further, the ratings factor a substantial improvement in the sugar recovery rates which has resulted in an improved cost structure as well as the continued favorable outlook for core business, ICRA said on December 7, 2016.
The rating continues to factor in company’s satisfactory crushing performance, healthy recovery rates and the forward integration into cogeneration and distillery businesses, which provide alternate revenue streams and reduce the impact of the cyclicality of the sugar business to an extent, it added.
Upper Ganges Sugar & Industries has locked in upper circuit of 10% at Rs 272 on the BSE with only buyers were seen on the counter. A combined 352,752 shares changed hands and there were pending buy orders for 74,153 shares on both the exchanges.
