Sugar stocks witnessed buying interest on Tuesday after the Centre approved an additional export quota of 87,587 tonnes for the 2025-26 sugar marketing year, lifting sentiment across the sector, Business Standard reported.
In the morning session, shares of Rajshree Sugars & Chemicals surged 7.07%, while Praj Industries rose 4.59%. Uttam Sugar Mills gained 2.24% and Dwarikesh Sugar Industries advanced 2.02%.
Similarly, Dalmia Bharat Sugar and Industries climbed 1.83%, Rana Sugars added 1.77%, Dhampur Sugar Mills rose 1.34%, and Bajaj Hindusthan Sugar edged up 0.83%.
The fresh quota follows the government’s earlier decision to allow exports of 1.5 million tonnes for the season. In February, an additional 500,000 tonnes was permitted, but mills applied for only 87,587 tonnes under this window, leaving the remaining quantity unused.
As per the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, mills must complete exports by June 30, 2026. Those exporting at least 70% of their allotted quota by the deadline will be allowed to ship the remaining quantity by September 30. Mills failing to meet the target will see the unutilised portion lapse and may face cuts in future allocations.
Meanwhile, India has exported around 315,000 tonnes of sugar between October and February in the ongoing 2025-26 season, well below the permitted quota, indicating cautious participation by mills amid changing market conditions.
