This quantity of 19.00 lac tons is sufficient to meet the internal demand of sugar for the month of September, 2010. However, if sugar prices increase sharply, the Government would not hesitate in releasing more non-levy sugar for the month.
The sugar factory shall sell/deliver and dispatch the entire non-levy quantity including the sugar processed out of imported raw sugar released for the month of September, 2010 as above only within the validity period of the release order i.e. upto 30.9.2010. There would be no extension of the validity period for September, 2010 non-levy quota.
The validity period for sale and dispatch of the non-levy sugar quota released for the month of August, 2010 – in respect of both indigenous sugar & sugar processed out of imported raw sugar has been extended by 15 days i.e. upto 15th September, 2010.
