The sugarcane and sugar sector in India ranks second among the country's agro-based industries, after cotton. India ranks first globally in sugar production. It produced about 37 million metric tons of sugar in 2022. It is not only responsible for the livelihood of sugarcane farmers in rural areas but also provides employment to about 500 thousand workers in the sugar mills. Additionally, the gross value added from the sugar crop was about 806 billion Indian rupees in 2020. Apart from being the leading sugar producer, India was also the third-largest exporter of sugar in the world in 2022. Sugar mills will show stable operating profitability on higher domestic sugar prices and increasing sales of ethanol which will subsequently help offset the rise in sugarcane cost and lower exports in fiscal 2024, according to a report by CRISIL. Sugar production is estimated to be 340 lakh tonnes in SS 2022-23, as compared to the peak of 358 lakh tonnes produced in the previous SS 2021-22; with the highest ever diversion towards ethanol estimated at 45 lakh tonnes (higher by 41% y-o-y), according to the Indian Sugar Mills Association (ISMA). This increasing diversion towards high realisation ethanol is likely to support 8-12% revenue growth for sugar mills this fiscal. By the year 2025, the government is targeting to divert 60 lakhs tonnes of excess sugar towards ethanol annually.
