The government will take stringent action against the sugar mills violating monthly stock holding limit orders, the Food and Consumer Affairs Ministry<\/a> said on Friday. The ministry prescribes monthly stock holding limits<\/a> for white\/refined sugar to prevent hoarding and control price increases. For April, the stock holding limit is set at 23.5 lakh tonnes. <\/p>\n

In a directive issued to mills, the ministry said it has found repeated violations by some group and individual sugar mills despite previous warnings, prompting the issuance of new, stricter guidelines. <\/p>\n

Key penalties include: for first-time violations, 100 per cent of excess sugar sold will be deducted from the subsequent month’s release quota. <\/p>\n

Subsequent violations will see progressively higher deductions: 115 per cent for the second, 130 per cent for the third, and 150 per cent for the fourth violation. <\/p>\n

Mills dispatching less than 90 per cent of quota without intimation will have restricted future allocations. <\/p>\n

Multiple violations in a sugar season will disqualify mills from additional releases and government scheme benefits. “No benefit under any scheme of DFPD<\/a> and DSVO, including export quota, as and when issued, may be granted to the sugar mills which violate stockholding limit orders more than two times in a sugar season, starting from the month of third instance,” the directive said. Ethanol procurement allocations<\/a> may also be reduced. <\/p>\n

The ministry will distribute the deducted quantity among compliant sugar mills while issuing monthly stockholding orders. <\/p>\n

The guidelines, effective April 1, 2025, aim to ensure consistent supply and price stability in the sugar market.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
