Sugar dealers’ stock limit cut to 2,000 quintals from September 15

The government has reduced the sugar stock limit for dealers to 2,000 quintals. This new rule, effective September 15, aims to prevent hoarding and ensure market supply. Dealers can now hold sugar for a maximum of thirty days from receipt. The revised limit will remain in effect until November 30, 2026. Kolkata retains a higher 4,000-quintal limit due to regional supply needs.
