Sugar Stocks Rally as Domestic and Global Prices Reach Multi-Year Highs
Shares of sugar companies like Balrampur Chini Mills, Dhampur Sugar, and Dalmia Bharat rose up to 7% following a rise in domestic sugar prices to Rs 4,400-4,800 per quintal, a seven-year high. This increase is driven by global sugar price surges due to supply concerns from adverse weather in Brazil, Thailand, and Europe, higher ethanol blending mandates, and lower production estimates. Brazil's delayed harvest and suspension of production reports add uncertainty, while heatwaves and El Niño threaten key producing regions.
