Govt unlikely to sell sugar at reduced rates during festivals

Consumers will not be able to get sugar at a concessional rate from the fair price shops to be operated by the public enterprises during the festivals this year. There is a very slim chance to sell sugar through the fair price shops this year as there is no stock of sugar with the public enterprise - Salt Trading Corporation, said an official. "The STC has no stock of sugar. And the government has not allowed STC to import sugar with a customs subsidy. So, it is not possible to sell sugar through the fair price shops this year," Urmila KC, undersecretary and deputy spokesperson of the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Supplies (MoICS).
