Coop sugar federation projects 35 mt sugar output in 2025-26 season
India’s sugar closing stock for the 2024–25 season is projected at 4.87 million tonnes, said NFCSF. This is expected to be sufficient for domestic needs in October–November 2025. With 2025–26 sugar output forecast at 35 million tonnes, the stock ensures supply stability. However, NFCSF noted a 2% margin of error in estimates due to data variability.
The National Federation of Cooperative Sugar Factories (NFCSF) on Monday said this year’s closing stock of sugar on September 30 will likely be 4.87 million tonnes (mt), which is adequate to meet first two months’ demand in next season as the sugar production in 2025-26 season (October-September) is likely to be 35 mt.
“As per current projections, the closing stock of sugar at the end of 2024–25 season is estimated at approximately 4.87 mt. This stock level is considered adequate to meet domestic consumption requirements for the crucial months of October and November 2025, ensuring price stability and uninterrupted supply,” the NFCSF said in a statement.
However, it could not rule out 2 per cent margin of error in the calculations while arriving at closing stock as the data are based on information derived from the monthly release orders issued by the government and information furnished by sugar mills.
