New Delhi, September 25, 2025 – The Indian Sugar & Bio‑Energy Manufacturers Association (ISMA) has formally appealed to the central government to increase the Minimum Selling Price (MSP) of sugar to ₹40.2 per kilogram for the 2025‑26 season, citing severe cost pressures and the widening gap between production costs and current sugar pricing.

Over the past week, soybean prices have increased, showing strong performance in the market. This gain could be due to factors like increased demand, favorable weather conditions for soybean crops, or market speculation driving prices up. On the other hand, corn and wheat prices have declined slightly.

Front‑month corn futures closed down by 1¼ to 2 cents in the session. The Cmdty View national average Cash Corn price fell by approximately 1¾ cents, landing at $4.04 ¾ per bushel. In the November/December “new crop” contracts, prices also slipped, consistent with broader contract declines.
