Sugar prices rose at the wholesale sugar market in the national capital today on scattered demand from retailers as well as bulk consumers.
Marketmen said mild demand from retailers and bulk consumers mainly supported the upside in sugar prices.
However, adequate stocks position on higher supplies from mills capped the rise, they said.
Meanwhile, country's sugar production rose by 33 per cent to 7.61 lakh tonnes till November 15th in the current marketing year on higher output from Maharashtra.
Sugar production in India, the world's second largest producer and biggest consumer, stood at 5.74 lakh tonnes in the same period of 2014-15 marketing year (October-September).
Sugar ready M-30 and S-30 moved up to Rs 2,780-3,030 and Rs 2,770-3,020 from previous levels of Rs 2,760-3,000 and Rs 2,750-2,990 per quintal, respectively.
