The Dwarkadhish Sugar Factory in Nashik district has announced plans to crush 6 lakh tons of sugarcane during the upcoming crushing season. Factory officials stated that all necessary preparations have been completed to ensure smooth and efficient operations.

India’s sugar market is witnessing a slump as stronger-than-expected sugar production pushes prices downward. According to industry reports, the country’s mills have ramped up production this season, resulting in a surplus supply in domestic markets.

Speaking to the media after a meeting with representatives from sugar mills and farmer associations, the Chief Minister said the government is committed to ensuring a fair and profitable price for farmers while maintaining the stability of the sugar industry.

Uttar Pradesh, India’s largest sugar-producing state, is expected to record a 2% increase in sugar production this season, even as the area under sugarcane cultivation has slightly declined. 🚜According to industry officials, the rise in production is being driven by higher sugar recovery rates and improved farm productivity across major cane-growing districts such as Meerut, Saharanpur, and Muzaffarnagar.

The global cane sugar market is experiencing a steady rise, driven by growing demand across the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. 🍭 From traditional sweets to modern energy drinks, cane sugar continues to play a vital role in satisfying the world’s sweet tooth — while also adapting to changing consumer preferences.

Mumbai, November 12, 2025 – Triveni Engineering has reported a robust 18.4% growth in revenue for the first half of FY26, largely fueled by strong performance in its sugar and distillery segments. The company’s sugar operations benefited from improved production efficiency and favorable market conditions, while the distillery business saw a notable uptick in demand for ethanol and allied products.

Global sugar markets are experiencing a sharp downturn as an unexpected surge in supply pushes prices down by nearly 30% from their annual peak. Analysts say the sudden drop has caught traders and producers off guard, raising concerns about long-term market stability.

The National Federation of Cooperative Sugar Factories (NFCSF) has reported that 325 sugar mills across India have commenced crushing operations for the ongoing sugar season.

The Food Ministry is evaluating a proposal to raise the Minimum Selling Price (MSP) of sugar, according to Food Minister Pralhad Joshi.

Sugar prices saw a slight uptick on Monday as market sentiment strengthened amid reports that the Indian government may soon raise ethanol procurement prices. Traders noted that even a modest increase in ethanol prices could encourage sugar mills to divert more cane juice and molasses toward ethanol production, potentially tightening sugar supply in the market.
