Dispelling any concerns about potential shortages and supply constraints of sugar, Indian Sugar and Bio-Energy Manufacturers Association (ISMA) in its latest report affirmed that the availability of sugar is stable and sufficient for the ongoing 2024-25 (October–September) marketing season. Sugar marketing season in India runs from October to September.
With a projected closing stock of 54 lakh tonne by September 2025, ISMA projects that India’s sugar reserves will remain ‘more than adequate’ to meet domestic demand. As of March 15, 2025, ISMA said India had produced approximately 238 lakh tonnes of sugar, with around 200 sugar mills (38 per cent of the total mills) still operational.
In Uttar Pradesh, around 75 per cent sugar mills are operational and improved cane recovery is expected to extend the crushing season until April. Meanwhile, although `Maharashtra and Karnataka experienced lower cane yields, operations in select Karnataka mills are likely to resume during a special season in June/July 2025. Mills in Tamil Nadu are also set to operate during this period, contributing to sugar production. Despite reduced output in some regions, the association assures that sugar availability will comfortably meet domestic demand.
