Gur weakens on sluggish demand

Select gur prices fell by up to Rs 100 per quintal at the wholesale gur (jaggery) market in the national capital today owing to slackened demand from local parties and stockists against sufficient stocks.
Muzaffarnagar and Muradnagar gur markets also showed a weak trend.
Traders said besides low demand from local parties and stockists, increased supplies from producing areas mainly led to decline in select gur prices.
