NEW DELHI: The Indian government is likely to give incentives to sugar mills to pay cane growers, government and trade sources said on Tuesday, as part of efforts to help sugar companies saddled with large stocks and lower prices. “We are working out some sort of subsidy for mills so that farmers can be paid on time,” a government source said. Sugar mills owe INR 120 billion to cane growers, as sugar prices have fallen more than 20 per cent while cane prices have gone up by more than 50 per cent since the 2009-10 season.
