India’s sugar production declines 16% so far in ongoing 2024-25 season: NFCSF

17 Mar 2025 Evaluate

The National Federation of Cooperative Sugar Factories (NFCSF) in its latest report said that India’s sugar production has declined by 16.13 per cent to 23.71 million tonnes so far in the ongoing 2024-25 season, creating challenges for government policies which were formulated based on higher initial projections. Sugar production estimates have been repeatedly revised downward since the season began, creating challenges for government policies which were formulated based on an initial projection of 33.3 million tonnes. 

One section of the industry submitted an estimate of 33.3 million tonnes of sugar production to the central government. Based on that, the central government started formulating its policies. The central government had permitted exports of 1 million tonnes of sugar in January 2025 based on the initial production estimate, but now faces a supply-demand mismatch as actual production figures trend lower.

Production in Maharashtra, India's largest sugar producer, fell to 7.86 million tonnes till March 15 of the current season, from 10.04 million tonnes a year ago. Output in Uttar Pradesh, the country's second largest producer, decreased to 8.09 million tonnes from 8.85 million tonnes, while Karnataka's production declined to 3.91 million tonnes from 4.95 million tonnes in the same period.

The crushing season across most states would conclude by March-end, while Uttar Pradesh mills would operate until mid-April. NFCSF has projected the country's total sugar output to be lower at 25.9 million tonnes in the ongoing 2024-25 season, compared to 31.9 million tonnes in the previous season.
