Indian Sugar Refiners to Sell 2.5 Lakh Tonnes Amid Price Fluctuations and Government Measures
Indian sugar refiners plan to sell 2.5 lakh tonnes of white sugar domestically to stabilize prices amid government efforts including duty-free imports of 10 lakh tonnes of raw sugar. Domestic sugar prices have fallen below import costs, complicating importers' plans and prompting refiners to delay sales. The government attributes recent price spikes to factors like festive demand, hoarding, and weather impacts, though experts note early warnings from global supply trends and weather forecasts.
