Sugar supply likely to improve on switch to fortnightly quota

·Economic Times·Impact 2/5 · Moderate
MeridStreet AI summary

Sugar supply in India is likely to improve due to a new quota system that requires sugar mills to sell at least 40% of their allocated sugar in the first week of the fortnight. This change aims to prevent artificial scarcity by ensuring that sugar is sold and dispatched in a timely manner. The new system should help to stabilize sugar prices and improve the overall supply chain.
