Sugar: Sugar prices fell by up to Rs 20 per quintal at

the wholesale market in the national capital during the week.

Besides, caution set in as traders waited for the launch of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) due on July 1, marketmen said.

Mounting stocks in the market in view of persistent supplies form millers amid fall in offtake by stockists as well as bulk consumers such as soft-drinks and ice-cream makers due to fall in mercury following monsoon rains, mainly led to the fall in sweetener prices, they added.
