India bans sugar exports until September 30, 2026, causing stock declines
India's Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has prohibited exports of raw, white, and refined sugar until September 30, 2026, or until further notice. This decision led to significant declines in shares of major sugar companies, including Ugar Sugar Works, EID Parry, and Shree Renuka Sugars. The ban aims to address concerns over domestic sugar shortages due to lower cane yields in key producing regions.
