BSE - 30 PE

In a bid to ensure adequate supplies at reasonable prices during the festival season, the government has tightened the stock-holding limit for sugar dealers to 1,000 quintals, effective from October 15 to November 30, 2026. Dealers will be allowed to hold stock for only 15 days. The Food Ministry said the amended norms will not apply to Kolkata and its extended metropolitan areas, and Assam, where the limit is 2,000 quintals. The new sugar season began on October 1, 2026.

The Ministry said “By restricting the quantity and storage period of sugar, the government aims to facilitate the orderly movement of sugar through the supply chain and ensure its continuous availability to consumers at reasonable prices”. Kolkata buys sugar from Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Karnataka, and supplies it to eastern India, including the northeast. The limit for Assam takes into account geographical constraints, transportation facilities and consumer interest in the northeast. It said that the objective of the amended rules was to “ensure that there is no unnecessary accumulation of sugar in the distribution chain” and that the supply of sugar from mills through dealers to the consumer remained “smooth”.

In August, citing a tight supply year, the government had imposed a nationwide stock-holding limit on dealers of 4,000 quintals, applicable from August 1 to November 30, along with a maximum holding period of 30 days from the date of receipt. The limit was later tightened to 2,000 quintals from September 15. According to the Ministry, average retail sugar prices have fallen 15% from their August peak and are expected to decline further as lower prices in the supply chain are realised. Ex-mill prices have dropped by around 28% and have remained stable for the past three weeks.

The government reiterated that mills, dealers, wholesalers and other market participants must ensure uninterrupted movement of sugar and prevent hoarding and speculation. Wholesalers and retailers have also been urged to “immediately pass on” the benefits of the sharp fall in ex-mill prices to consumers. Sugar mills have been advised to begin crushing operations in line with agro-climatic conditions in their areas. State governments have also been asked to take appropriate action on crushing based on prevailing circumstances. The Ministry said the Centre will continue to monitor the impact of erratic and inadequate rainfall linked to El Niño conditions on sugarcane in some producing areas, and will take timely measures to balance domestic availability, consumer interest and the interests of cane farmers.
