MUMBAI (Reuters) – India’s sugar output during the 2024/25 marketing year ending in September 2025 may fall to 27.27 million metric tons, down 14.7% from a year ago, as mills are likely to divert more sugar for ethanol production, a trade body said on Friday.
Mills are likely to divert 3.75 million tons of sugar for ethanol production in the current season, up from the last year’s 2.15 million tons, the Indian Sugar and Bio Energy Manufacturers Association said in a statement.
