Sugar prices rose up to Rs 60 per quintal in the country`s leading wholesale markets on stockists buying after the government raised import duty on the sweetener to 40 per cent besides additional interest-free loan of Rs 4,400 crore for mills. Further, increased offtake by bulk consumers to meet summer season demand also influenced prices, PTI reported. In the national capital, Sugar ready M-30 and S-30 traded higher at Rs 3,320-3,460 and Rs 3,300-3,430 as against previous levels of Rs 3,270-3,400 and Rs 3,250-3,380 per quintal. Thus showing a rise of Rs 50/60 per quintal. With PTI inputs
