Sugar for public distribution system (PDS) will be sourced from the open market by the Maharashtra government whereby they will purchase the sugar through e-tendering. E-tendering will facilitate transparent purchase and would be issued district-wise for a period of six months.
The sugar will be sold at Rs 13.50 per kg through PDS and people will get 660 grams of sugar per person in the festival seasons and 500 grams in the non-festival season.
This step will benefit as many as 2.78 crore people in below-poverty-line (BPL) and poorest of the poor categories. The decision will also benefit the families of the personnel employed in Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and paramilitary forces for whom there is a quota earmarked.
