Balrampur Chini, Dalmia Bharat and Other Sugar Stocks in Focus as India Bans Sugar Exports Until September 30, 2026

On May 13, 2026, the Indian government announced a ban on sugar exports, effective immediately, until September 30, 2026, or further notice.  

This decision impacts several sugar stocks, including Balrampur Chini Mills, Dalmia Bharat Sugar, and Bajaj Hindusthan Sugar. 

Government's Decision on Sugar Export Ban 

The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) issued a notification stating that the export of raw, white, and refined sugar is now prohibited.  

This marks a policy shift from "restricted" to "prohibited" to ensure domestic availability. The ban excludes sugar exports to the European Union and the United States under existing tariff-rate quota arrangements. 

Impact on Sugar Stocks 

Sugar stocks like Balrampur Chini Mills, Dalmia Bharat Sugar, Bajaj Hindusthan Sugar, Shree Renuka, Triveni Engineering & Industries, EID Parry, and Bannari Amman Sugars are expected to be in focus following this announcement.  

The ban aims to stabilise domestic supply, but it may affect the financial performance of these companies, which rely on export revenues.

Exceptions and Provisions 

The DGFT notification clarifies that sugar loading on ships will be permitted if it commenced before May 13, 2026, or if the consignment was handed over to customs before the notification's publication.  

Additionally, exports under the Advance Authorization Scheme will continue as per existing Foreign Trade Policy provisions. 

Conclusion 

The Indian government's decision to ban sugar exports until September 30, 2023, is a significant move to safeguard domestic supply. This policy shift affects major sugar stocks, which will remain under scrutiny in the coming months.
