State-wise monthly sugar quota for sale in August 2025
The Food Ministry has set a sugar quota of 22.5 lakh metric tonnes for August 2025, slightly above July’s quota but below last year’s demand of 25.2 LMT. With upcoming festivals, prices may rise by ₹100/quintal. Mills must integrate ERP with NSWS and comply with jute packaging rules.
In an announcement on July 31, the Food Ministry allocated a monthly sugar quota of 22.5 lakh metric tonnes (LMT) for August 2025 to 582 sugar mills, which is lower than the quota allocated for August 2024.
In August 2024, the government had allocated a monthly sugar quota of 22 LMT for domestic sale. For July 2025, the allocation of sugar quota was also 22 LMT.
According to market experts, July saw an increase of Rs. 100 per quintal due to higher demand. The August quota appears to be lower than the expected demand, due to festivals like Raksha Bandhan, Krishna Janmashtami, Shravan and others; therefore, the market is likely to see an uptick in prices by Rs. 100 per quintal. Last year, in August, sugar consumption was 25.20 LMT.
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 15.08.2025. 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 July-2025 through API by 15th August, 2025. Non-complaint sugar mills may not be allocated any release quota from next month.
All 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-Il 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, as per DFPD.
