PUNE: Just a few days before the model code of conduct for the Lok
Sabha elections comes into effect, top sugar producer Maharashtra has
decided to buy sugar for its public distribution system (PDS) from the
co-operative sugar mills in the state. The Centre had abolished levy
sugar and monthly release mechanism in April 2013 on the recommendation
of the C Rangarajan committee.
Prior to this, the sugar mills had to supply 10% of their sugar output as levy quota for the PDS system at a price lower than the market rate. After the partial de-control, the state governments were asked to establish transparent systems to procure PDS sugar at Rs 32 a kg.
