Why Sugar Stocks Are on A Roll

Shares of prominent Indian sugar companies continued to display robust performance on Monday, surging by as much as 7% in trading. This surge was attributed to growing expectations of an increase in sugar prices shortly.

Dalmia Bharat Sugar, Balrampur Chini Mills, Dwarikesh Sugar Industries and Uttam Sugar Mills rose over 6%.

This positive trend in sugar company stocks follows recent government orders mandating the disclosure of sugar stock positions for traders, wholesalers, retailers, big chain retailers, and sugar processors.

This measure aims to proactively address hoarding and speculative practices in the sugar market.

The government has specified that this information must be updated every Monday on the Department of Food and Public Distribution's portal.

The move to implement these disclosure requirements comes in response to reports earlier this month indicating a potential shortage of sugar supply this year due to lower production.

Switzerland-based trader Avlean also expressed concerns about the expected lower sugar production in India, the world's second-largest sugar producer after Brazil, and projected a global sugar deficit of 5.4 million tonnes for the upcoming season.

MCX Set To Go Live On TCS

MCX is set to go live on a new platform serviced by Tata Consultancy Services from 1 October, finally breaking up from its dependence on erstwhile group company 63 Moons.

MCX had signed an agreement with 63 Moons to use its platform till December 2023. It will keep the 63 Moons platform as a backup in case it finds glitches on the new platform. Mock sessions on the platform have been glitch-free so far.

However, MCX will need SEBI's approval to go live on the new TCS platform.

MCX's transition efforts to the new platform date back to February 2021, when the commodity exchange's board decided to award the contract for implementation of the Commodity Derivatives Platform to TCS.

However, MCX was forced to take multiple extensions with the existing service provider, 63 Moons as it could not transition to the new trading platform within the given deadlines.

MCX's software support and maintenance agreement with 63 Moons started in September 2014 and ended in September 2022.

MCX has a strong market position and a loyal customer base, making it one of the best monopoly stocks in India.
