MUMBAI – The Maharashtra government has approved the sugarcane crushing season for 2025-26 (Nov-Oct) to start in the state from Nov. 1, according to a post by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on social media platform X.
India is estimated to close the sugar season 2024-25 (Oct-Sept) with a stock of 4.74 million tonnes. This is largely in line with the government's projection of a closing stock of 5.00 million tonnes but sharply down from the closing stock of 8.00 million tonnes a year ago.
Meanwhile, the central government has set the all-India sales quota for October at 2.40 million tonnes, 6% lower than the quota of 2.55 million tonnes set for October last year, but 2% higher than the September quota of 2.35 million tonnes. It has raised the sugar sales quota for October for Maharashtra while lowering it for Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh. End
