India's Khandsari Sugar Control Order Implementation Faces Delays

India's Khandsari Sugar Control Order Implementation Faces Delays

A new rule was made in India for large makers of a special sugar called 'khandsari'.

They now need to tell the government how much they make and sell, just like bigger sugar factories.

They also have to buy sugarcane at a price set by the government.

But, these khandsari makers say they can't afford the same sugarcane price as the big factories because they get less juice from the sugarcane.

So, they asked for a different price, and the government is looking into it.

The government is also not rushing to strictly enforce the new rules yet, giving the khandsari makers time to get used to them.

For now, they can still sell their sugar without monthly limits.

The main idea behind the new rule is to keep track of all the khandsari sugar made and sold and to make things fairer for everyone.
