Govt restrictions on sugar exports come into effect from today
India is the largest producer of sugar in the world but also consumes most of the sweetener it produces.
Last week, the Govt decided to put a cap on sugar exports to ensure domestic availability.
Food Secretary Sudhanshu Pandey said, India's exports have reached a record high in this season and now domestic availability has to be ensured during October - November as consumption increases in the festive season.
