India has ordered bulk consumers using more than 10 metric tons of sugar per month to hold inventories for no more than 15 days, tightening a previous 30-day limit from September 1 through November 30. Domestic prices have risen 10% over the past month to a record high, while raw and white sugar futures reached more than one-year highs amid potential production cuts, possible Indian imports and Brazil’s lower 2026/27 production forecast.
