• India’s Sugar output reached 27.48 MMT as of 15th April 2026, up by 8% YOY. • Maharashtra and Karnataka have grown up 23% and 19% respectively YOY. • For 2025–26 crushing season, the State Advisory Price (SAP) of sugarcane in Uttar Pradesh has been increased by Rs. 30 per quintal, raising the price to Rs. 400 per quintal for early-maturing varieties and Rs. 390 per quintal for general varieties, reflecting an over 8% rise compared to the previous season. • Higher sugar realization with higher recovery has partially mitigated the impact of increase sugarcane price. • Exports remained subdued due to softening global sugar prices. Watchpoints & Strategic Priorities • Industry-wise demand to revise MSP of Sugar from Rs. 3100 per qtls. Timely revision critical for Industry liquidity and Farmer payments. • SS 2025-26 output unlikely to exceed 28 MMT below domestic consumption of 29 MMT. This marks a second consecutive deficit year.

Recent Developments in Uttar Pradesh
• Production moderation amid seasonal volatility: UP sugar output declined ~13% YoY in March due to lower cane availability and early mill closures, though India’s overall seasonal production remains ~9% higher YoY. • Higher cane prices to pressure margins: The cane price increased by Rs. 30/quintal to Rs. 400/- per quintal. in UP’s SAP for 2025–26 improves farmer realizations but is likely to compress sugar mill margins unless supported by higher sugar prices. • Operational factors affecting recovery: Weather conditions, cane availability, and recovery rate variations continue to impact production efficiency across mills. • Export policy remains a swing factor: Government controls on sugar exports to ensure domestic availability continue to influence realizations, inventory levels, and pricing outlook. • Structural strengthening of sector: Capacity expansion, distillery integration, and deleveraging across leading mills are improving industry resilience and competitiveness. • Higher m
