Gur falls on sluggish demand, adequate stocks

Gur prices drifted up to Rs 100 per quintal at the wholesale gur (jaggery) market in the national capital today due to subdued demand from local parties and stockists against sufficient stocks.
A similar trend was also emerged at Muzaffarnagar and Muradnagar markets.
Traders said weak demand from local parties and stockists against adequate stocks on higher supplies from producing areas mainly dragged down gur prices.
