The ministry has said that sugar production during 2016-17 season is estimated 23 - 24 million MT. Coupled with estimated carry over stock of 7.3 million MT from the current sugar season, the availability of sugar for the domestic consumption will 30 - 31 million MT, against the demand of about 25.5 million MT. Hence there will be no shortage of domestically produced sugar in India.

The production of sugar has been estimated at about 25.3 million MT in the current season. Hence there is sufficient availability of sugar even for the current sugar season, the ministry said.
