NEW DELHI - Ex-mill prices of sugar were down today in all key wholesale markets, barring Delhi where those were unchanged, because of weak off-take and higher production in the ongoing season, said a Delhi-based trader Naresh Gupta.

* "Freight rates have come down in Maharashtra so that benefit is being passed on to the consumers naturally," said Mukesh Kuvadia, secretary, Bombay Sugar Merchants Association.
