Sugar prices fell further by up to Rs 70 per quintal at the wholesale market in the national capital today due to mounting stocks following persistent supplies by mills amid subdued demand.
Marketmen said steady inflow of supplies by mills against subdued demand from bulk consumers such as soft-drink and ice-cream makers mainly led to the fall in sweetener prices.
Besides, higher output reports put pressure on prices, they said.
Sugar mill delivery M-30 and S-30 prices were down by Rs 60 each to settle at Rs 2,610-2,780 and Rs 2,600-2,760 per quintal.
