Sugar prices tumbled down by Rs 50 per quintal at the wholesale market in the national capital today following steady inflow of supplies from mills amid selective buying by stockists and bulk consumers.

Marketmen said relentless arrivals from mills, triggered by limited offtake by stockists and bulk consumers including soft drink and ice-cream manufacturers caused the downfall in sweetener prices.

Sugar ready M-30 and S-30 prices enquired lower by Rs 50 each to end at Rs 3,850-3,910 and Rs 3,840-3,900 per quintal.

Likewise, mill delivery M-30 and S-30 prices slipped by Rs 30 each to conclude at Rs 3,580-3,660 and Rs 3,570-3,650 per quintal, respectively.
