Several sugar-company shares went up in early trading.
Avadh Sugar and Shree Renuka Sugars rose the most, by 6% each.
Other companies, including Dhampur Sugar and Balrampur Chini Mills, also gained.
Investors expect higher sugar prices to help producers earn more money.
A brokerage called DAM Capital remained positive about the sugar industry.
It raised its estimate for how much sugar companies may realize from sales in the next two financial years.
Sugar prices increased sharply between June and the end of August 2026.
The government responded with measures intended to improve supply and prevent hoarding.

Dhampur Sugar gained 5.5%, while Balrampur Chini Mills advanced 4.66%.
Ugar Sugar, Magadh Sugar and Energy, and EID Parry also recorded gains.

Domestic sugar prices rose from Rs 38–41 per kg in June 2026 to Rs 52–55 per kg by late August, prompting government measures including duty-free imports and stockholding limits.
