Govt Sets 15-Day Sugar Stock Rule, Caps Quantity

The Centre has revised sugar dealers' stock-holding norms, reducing the permitted period to 15 days and capping stocks at 1,000 quintals. Effective from October 15 to November 30, 2026, the rules aim to prevent hoarding and ensure smooth festive-season supplies. Higher limits of 2,000 quintals will apply in Kolkata and Assam, considering regional logistics.
