We wish to say thanks to Professor Amola Bhatt for giving us such a wonderful opportunity to work on this assignment. We got to know the various financial issues facing the Sugar industry. We went through various internet sites and accessed Ace Equity database. Our learning and knowledge about the industry have been strengthened. We also did inter firm and intra firm analysis, which revealed to us various facts which have been hidden from us. We got to know how to practically apply the theories which have been taught to us in Financial Management 2 subject.

Indian Sugar Industry

Sugar, the second-largest agro-based industry in India, is a sector of immense importance to the Indian economy. ISI impacts livelihoods of about 50 million farmers and their families and provides direct employment to over 5 lakh skilled and semi-skilled persons in sugar mills and related industries. It covers 5 million hectares of land. For past two sugar seasons (SS; refers to the period October 1 to September 30) ended SS2015-16, the ISI has been witnessing a challenging phase marked by extreme volatility in sugar prices and lopsided margins for the sugar mill owners.

The sugar prices started declining from August 2014 on account of surplus sugar stock both in domestic and global markets. Sugar production exceeded the sugar consumption levels for past five consecutive SS from SS2010-11 to SS2014-15. Wholesale price of sugar slumped from Rs.33.76/kg in August 2014 to a low of Rs.26.40/kg in August 2015 and remained below Rs.30/kg for almost half of production period in the SS2015-16. The situation at present, however, seems totally reversed where the major cause of concern for the government is surging sugar price. The sugar price started picking up from September 2015 and since then it has been on a continuous uptrend. In August 2016, sugar price prevailed at Rs.37.86/kg in wholesale market and crossed the price level of Rs.40/kg in the retail market.

The production and consumption pattern of sugar in India is shown below. (Source: Indian Sugar Mills Association)
