State-wise monthly sugar quota for sale in April 2026
In a notification released on March 25, the Food Ministry allocated a monthly sugar quota of 23 lakh metric tonnes (LMT) for April 2026.
In March 2026, the government had allocated a monthly sugar quota of 22.5 LMT for domestic sale.
According to market experts, following the announcement of the 23 LMT sugar quota for April 2026, the domestic market is expected to remain bullish as the sugarcane crushing season is in final stage with most of the mills closing crushing operations. This will reduce oversupply in the market and increase in demand due to hike in sale of cold drinks and beverages owing to summer season.
According to the notification, the process of integrating the ERP/SAP systems of sugar mills with the NSWS portal through APIs is underway and the same is
required to be completed by 10.04.2026. All sugar mills are hereby directed to ensure development their API modules and integrate with NSWS portal in a time bound manner and submit the monthly P-II for March, 2026 through API by 10th April, 2026. Non-complaint sugar mills may not be allocated any release quota from next month.
All the sugar mills have been directed to ensure the compliance of mandatory packaging of 20% of sugar in jute bags under Jute Packaging Material (Compulsory Use in Packing Commodities) Act, 1987 and submit the information thereof in P-II proforma on NSWS portal. Any violation of this order would attract the penal provisions under the Essential Commodities Act, 1955, as amended from time to time.
