India ranks first in sugar consumption and second in sugar production in the word. Indian sugar industry has been facing problems with respect to raw materials, resources, and infrastructure. Globalisation has brought a number of opportunities but at the same time posed certain challenges for the sugar industry. Mounting losses and decreasing net worth of sugar factories have been responsible for sickness of the sugar industry. Sickness of sugar industry has reached to an alarming position. Indian sugar industry has been cash striven for decades. Low cash inflow due to piling stocks lead to serious financial crisis and finally to the closing of sugar factories. Sugar prices have been a political issue rather than an economical one which worsened the economy of sugar factories many times. The main concern for sugar factories in India is fluctuation in sugarcane production, due to inadequate irrigation facilities, low sugarcane yield and frequent droughts in tropical and subtropical areas where sugarcane is grown on a large scale. India has to gear up to the new challenges of higher cane and sugar production to meet the future requirements. With the present trend of sugarcane and sugar production, India will be hard to sustain and is needed to increase the present trend of cane production to a level that India becomes the world’s largest sugar producer.
