Presently, all types of sugar, including raw, white, refined, and organic, were restricted for export, requiring specific permission from the Directorate of Sugar. Exports to the EU, USA, and UK under CXL Quota and Tariff Rate Quotas (TRQ) were permitted under specific conditions and quantitative ceilings. The revised policy introduces a new provision allowing the export of Pharma Grade Sugar up to a limit of 25,000 metric tons per financial year. This is subject to obtaining a Restricted Export Authorization.
