India caps sugar dealers’ stocks at 1,000 quintals and cuts holding period to 15 days from Oct. 15

AI Market Summary
India's government is tightening sugar dealer inventory limits and shortening allowable holding periods to curb pre-festival hoarding, aiming to accelerate distribution and dampen retail price pressure. The policy signals active food-inflation management as ex-mill prices have already fallen and stabilized. Market impact should be localized to agricultural and consumer-inflation expectations, with limited spillover to broader macro assets.

India’s government said sugar dealers will be allowed to hold stocks for a maximum of 15 days from Oct. 15, while setting a nationwide stock limit of 1,000 quintals. Kolkata and its extended metropolitan areas, as well as Assam, will have a higher cap of 2,000 quintals to reflect regional needs, and the rules will remain in force until Nov. 30, 2026. The government said average retail sugar prices have fallen 15% from their August peak, while ex-mill prices are down about 28% and have been stable for the last three weeks.
