Born from a Mission to Inform
Sugar Times was founded in 2016with a single, clear purpose: to fill the information gap in India's sugar and bio-energy sector. At a time when industry stakeholders — mill owners, cane farmers, distillery operators, molasses traders — were scattered across sources with no single reliable publication to turn to, Sugar Times stepped in.
What began as a print magazine published from Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh has grown into a trusted multi-platform media brand. Today, Sugar Times reaches thousands of readers every month through print, the website sugartimes.co.in, YouTube, WhatsApp updates, and active social media communities.
Over the years, we have covered landmark moments in the Indian sugar industry — from the ethanol blending programme's rise to 15% and beyond, to historic changes in FRP and SAP rates, to the expansion of distilleries across UP and Bihar, to India's growing role in global sugar trade.
