Sugar prices in India have increased sharply over the last one month, raising concerns about a possible shortage. Ex-factory sugar prices have gone up by around 15%, leading to fears that sugar supplies may be running low. According to AISTA, the recent rise in sugar prices does not mean that India is running out of sugar. The increase in prices has created unnecessary concerns in the market, but the country’s sugar supply remains stable. AdvertisementIt also said that the sugar industry is planning to start the 2026-27 crushing season earlier than usual, depending on weather conditions.
