Notable Gains in Sugar Companies as Analysts Predict Bullish Future
Analysts from DAM Capital have initiated coverage on four sugar companies—Balrampur Chini Mills Ltd, Triveni Engineering Industries Ltd, Dalmia Sugar, and Dwarikesh Sugar—with a ‘buy’ rating, projecting potential gains of up to 28% over the next 12 months. DAM Capital predicts that the rapidly developing El Niño conditions will hinder sugar production in major sugar-producing states, potentially keeping domestic sugar prices above Rs 37 per kg. This anticipated trend is expected to benefit sugar companies based in Uttar Pradesh.
