Gur prices fall on fresh supply, slackness in demand

NEW DELHI: The wholesale gur (jaggery) market witnessed a subdued trend in the national capital today on the back of fresh supply against weak demand, registering losses of Rs 100 per quintal.

Muzaffarnagar and Muradnagar gur markets also ended lower by up to Rs 250 per quintal on arrivals of new stocks amid sluggish demand.

Marketmen said fresh arrivals of new gur from manufacturing areas along with reduced offtake by stockists and retailers mainly pulled down gur prices.
