DAM Capital Predicts Tight Indian Sugar Supply Through Fiscal Year 2027
DAM Capital Advisors forecasts a tight sugar supply in India through fiscal year 2027 due to low inventories, weather challenges, and firm global prices. Sugar stocks at the start of the 2026-27 season are projected at about 3 million tonnes, the lowest in a decade, covering roughly 35 days of consumption. Deficient rainfall and an early crushing season may reduce sugarcane yields and recovery. The El Nino effect is expected to impact two seasons, potentially lowering acreage and increasing competition for sugarcane. Ethanol production from sugarcane may be limited, shifting reliance to alternative sources like maize and rice.
