Bulk sugar users get 30-day stock limit extension for imported sugar

New Delhi: The Department of Food and Public Distribution relaxed the stock holding limit for bulk consumers on Friday. The limit for bulk sugar users, who consume over 10 tonnes of sugar per month, has been raised from 15 days to 30 days. However, this 30-day stock-holding limit will be applicable only to sugar imported under the Advance Authorisation Scheme or the Tariff Rate Quota. For domestically procured sugar, the 15-day stock limit remains unchanged.
