Notes

  • Sugar mills have committed to advancing the sugarcane crushing schedule by 10-15 days for the 2026-2027 sugar marketing season.
  • The decision was reached following a meeting between the Joint Secretary (Sugar) and industry bodies, including the Indian Sugar and Bio-energy Manufacturers Association and the National Federation of Cooperative Sugar Factories.
  • The primary objective of this advancement is to ensure adequate sugar availability in the domestic market during the festive season.
  • The move is intended to facilitate the arrival of fresh sugar supplies in local markets ahead of peak festive demand.
