The rationalization of sugar inventories, balancing of demand & supply and an increase in ethanol sales will together contribute to the enhancement of the cash flows of integrated sugar mills for the next few years.

India is likely to bring volatility to the sugar market on the back of its export subsidies and additional support to biofuel capacity.
