The Ministry of Commerce and Industry of India issued an official statement stating that, in the context of the instability caused by ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, India had imposed a ban on sugar exports until September 30.
The statement states, “The ban on sugar exports will take effect immediately and will remain in place until September 30, 2026, or until further directives are issued.”
The statement indicates that the ban covers the export of raw sugar, white sugar, and refined sugar.
According to NDTV in New Delhi, India’s Sugar Mills Association predicted, after re-examining its assessment data in April, that India’s total sugar production would reach approximately 32 million tons by September 30. This figure is lower than the previously estimated 32.4 million tons.
The television station pointed out that, given the heightened instability resulting from the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, the Indian government may have made this decision to impose an export ban as part of measures to curb the risk of inflation.
