Madhucon Sugar and Power Industries and Dalmia Bharat Sugar have surrendered their quota of 13,940 tonne raw sugar allocated to them by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade for import of raw sugar. Madhucon Sugar had applied for a quantity of 21,000 tonne raw sugar from the south zone, while Dalmia Bharat Sugar had applied for 100,000 tonne raw sugar–50,000 tonne each from the east zone and the south zone. The Directorate General of Foreign Trade, however, allocated a quota of 4,313 tonne raw sugar to Madhucon Sugar, and 5,750 tonne raw sugar to Dalmia Bharat Sugar from the east zone and 3,877 tonne from the south zone. The mills surrendered the quota as the quantity allocated to them was very small and thus import would be unviable.
