NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Junior food and farm minister Akhilesh Prasad Singh on Friday said the government had no immediate plans to remove its controls on the sugar industry.
"There is no proposal to de-control the industry now," he told reporters in Hindi.
Currently sugar mills are forced to sell 10 percent of their output at cheap rates to the government for subsidised sales to the poor. Authorities also decide how much sugar can be sold in the open market, so they can keep prices stable.
