The government is likely to allow import of 300,000-500,000 tonne sugar at a concessional import duty of 25% to augment supply during the upcoming festival season. The proposal to this effect (allowing import at 25% import duty) might be put up to the Cabinet for approval later this week. Government was planning to tweak the conditions of advance licence scheme giving more time to sugar mills and refineries to fulfil the obligation of re-exports.
