The central government fixed the Fair and Remunerative Price for sugar. Production data for the first month of the 2026-27 crushing season showed India produced a record 8.45 lakh tonnes of sugar, largely driven by 7.20 lt from Maharashtra. This record production is expected to boost availability in November.
