05 Nov 2025 Evaluate

Indian Sugar & Bio-Energy Manufacturers Association (ISMA) in its latest report said that India's sugar production is estimated to rise 16 per cent to 343.5 lakh tonnes in the current 2025-26 marketing year, mainly on higher output in Maharashtra. The gross sugar production stood at 296.10 lakh tonnes in the 2024-25 marketing year (October-September).

Sugar production in Maharashtra is expected to rise to 130 lakh tonnes from 93.51 lakh tonnes in 2024-25, on account of increased area and productivity. According to ISMA, the net sugar production (after diversion towards ethanol production) is estimated to rise to 309.5 lakh tonnes from 261.08 lakh tonnes.

It is projected that 34 lakh tonnes would be diverted to ethanol production in 2025-26, compared to 35 lakh tonnes in the preceding year. Considering an opening stock of 50 lakh tonnes of sugar, ISMA said the total availability will be 359.5 lakh tonnes in the 2025-26 marketing year, while the annual domestic demand is estimated at 285 lakh tonnes. The closing stock is projected at 74.5 lakh tonnes. The total sugarcane acreage in the country for the 2025-26 sugar season is estimated at around 57.35 lakh hectares, compared to 57.11 lakh hectares in 2024-25.
