Review of Committee Reports on Indian Sugar Industry and Partial Decontrol

Abstract

The article has attempted to organise the various committee reports on Indian sugar industry from 1974 to 2013 and explicit their relevance to partial decontrol of sugar sector in 2013. A careful review of various reports indicate partial decontrol in sugar sector as a long awaited and well recommended measure by policy makers and heads of the committees. Most of the Committees had mentioned at least one issue decontrolled from 2013. Though controlling the major export and import policy of sugar and allied products by the Government whether this liberalisation of few clutches over sugar industry will yield the expected uphill out of debts in sugar industry is a major study to be researched.
