The Indian government has extended the deadline for duty-free raw sugar imports to december 31, according to an official notification.
The extension allows importers additional time to bring in raw sugar under the duty-free import allowance. The original deadline had been set for november 30.
This change comes as part of ongoing efforts to manage sugar production and imports. The government has been adjusting import policies to align with domestic supply and market conditions.
The decision reflects a broader strategy to stabilize the sugar market and support domestic producers. Officials have not provided further details on the rationale behind the extension. The new deadline is expected to provide relief to importers facing logistical or financial challenges.
