Naveen Jindal (located in Sarang Garh, Dist. Raigarh)

Chhattisgarh S.S.K. Ltd (located in Kurud, Dist. Raipur) The sugar production in Chhattisgarh largely depends on the rainfall experienced during monsoon. The more the rainfall is, the better will be the sugar production. The state has been witnessing a good monsoon followed by a heave growth in the sugar industry during 1998-2003. The production of sugar was heavy all over India and Chhattisgarh being a novice in this industry, witnessed a good start in the sector. Considering this growth in the sugar industry in India, the Indian Government fixed a sum as Statutory Minimum Price (SMP) for sugarcane manufacturing and this was regulated by Clause 3 of the Sugarcane Order. It was also approved by Commission for Agricultural Coast and Prices (CACP) and various state governments. During 2004-05, the SMP was fixed at a rate of Rs. 74.50 per quintal with a staple retrieval of 8.5 percent.

In 1982, the Government of India established a Sugar Development Fund with the aim to finance the industry in order to implement better technologies in sugar manufacturing. Considering the encouraging growth in the sugar industry in India, the Indian government decided to include few more states of India in the production of sugar and Chhattisgarh was thereby chosen as one of them. The government of India has sanctioned huge amounts of loans for the advancement of sugar industry in Chhattisgarh which has borne fruit since there has been a huge growth in the sugar industry of Chhattisgarh, though it is yet to attain its full potential.

Apart from sugar production, Chhattisgarh sugar industry is involved in sugarcane cultivation as well. Sweets and products of sugar are heavily consumed in parts of Chhattisgarh. This has led to an alarming rise in the sugar industry in Chhattisgarh. Both the sugar factories located in Chhattisgarh have a crushing capacity of 2500 TCD. Sugar factories are being established in different parts of the country including rural areas. Rural areas in India are experiencing better growth in the sugar production. Traditional sweeteners and sugarcanes are the most wanted products consumed by the rural population. The inhabitants in Chhattisgarh depend largely on the sweet products not only of their festivals but also sweets and other sugar products are a basic stuff which every household prefers there. This has been one of the most significant factors that has led to the success of Chhattisgarh sugar industry.
