India falling to five-year lows, Shree Renuka Sugars MD Narendra Murkumbi
said he expects prices to bottom out by March 31 and improve 5-10 percent from
April.
The current collapse – sugar prices in Maharashtra are reining at Rs 23/kg
versus quarterly average of Rs 25.5 – is because companies have sold inventory
to make payments by March 31.

expected to exceed demand by 1.8 mt, according to Murkumbi.

may provide an additional export subsidy of Rs 1,000 per tonne, he said, over
and above the central subsidy.
