Sugar refiners plan to sell 2.5 lakh tonnes domestically as govt moves to boost supplies

 Indian sugar refiners are set to release 2.5 lakh tonnes of white sugar into the domestic market, aiming to meet rising demand and reduce costs before the upcoming festive season. Government initiatives have helped lower sugar prices at mills, and a new policy allows duty-free import of 10 lakh tonnes of raw sugar, prompting mills to start crushing early for better production outcomes. Indian sugar refiners are set to release 2.5 lakh tonnes of white sugar into the domestic market, aiming to meet rising demand and reduce costs before the upcoming festive season.
