    To avoid defaults, the Government might permit sugar mills to export more

    According to preliminary data, the sugar cane area in top producers Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh is greater for the crop that will be harvested in the season beginning on October 1, indicating that supplies will be sufficient for the following year, according to Jhunjhunwala.

    Digital
    Desk:
    According to those with knowledge of the situation, India may authorize
    sugar mills to export more than they were previously allowed to in order to aid
    them in avoiding contract defaults.



    According
    to the persons who requested anonymity because of the nature of the
    information, the government is considering authorizing additional sales of 1
    million to 1.2 million tonnes of sugar for the fiscal year ending September 30.
    On top of the 10 million tonnes now allotted, that is.



    India, the
    second-largest producer of sugar in the world, restricted exports in May in
    order to safeguard its food supply. Since stockpiles appear to be sufficient at
    this time to meet domestic consumption, growers have requested to ship
    additional volume. The overall pricing trend would be negatively impacted by
    any additional shipments this year.



     



    According to Aditya
    Jhunjhunwala, president of the miller's organization, the Indian Sugar Mills
    Association had petitioned the government to permit exports of an additional 1
    million tonnes, including as much as 700,000 tonnes of raw materials. He
    claimed that some of the volumes had already been contracted.



     



    Requests for a response from a spokeswoman for the trade and food ministries were not
    immediately returned.



     



    According to
    preliminary data, the sugar cane area in top producers Maharashtra and Uttar
    Pradesh is greater for the crop that will be harvested in the season beginning
    on October 1, indicating that supplies will be sufficient for the following
    year, according to Jhunjhunwala.



     



    According to
    Jhunjhunwala, the nation would have more than 6 million tonnes in its
    inventories on September 30- more than enough to supply local demand before cane
    crushing begins in October- even after exporting an additional 1 million tonnes
    this season.
