India Sugar fear of imports pulls down prices in spot market, NCDEX.

Prices of sugar fell in the key wholesale markets of Delhi and Muzaffarnagar due to fear of government allowing import of raw sugar to tide over any shortages. Sugar prices remained unavailable in Maharashtra because markets were shut for Ganpati Visarjan. The government is likely to allow import of 300,000 tonne of raw sugar at 25-30% import duty.
