Gur prices spurted by Rs 100 per quintal in the wholesale gur (Jaggery) market at national capital today largely supported by paucity of stocks amid pick-up in demand.
Muzaffarnagar markets also showed a rising trend in gur Ladoo prices on scarcity of stocks.
Marketmen said tight availability of sugar-cane and fall in output due to rising mercury, influenced gur prices.
Speculative buying by stockists, sparked by higher advices from neighboring states also supported the uptrend.
