NEW DELHI, MARCH 27: The prices of sugar have remained stable with the Government making efforts to maintain a balance between availability and pricing, including release of sugar quota, the Lok Sabha was informed today. During March, with the release of non-levy sugar quota of 12.50 lakh tonne, carry-over stock of one lakh tonnes and levy quota of 2.10 lakh tonnes, the availability of sugar was sufficient in the market and the prices have remained stable, the Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution Minister, Mr K. V. Thomas, told the Lok Sabha. He said the Government was making efforts to maintain the balance between availability and pricing of sugar through a regulated release mechanism, appropriate export-import interventions and administrative measures.
