E20 initiative delivers ₹1.66 lakh crore earnings for sugarcane growers

Malviya highlighted that the blending programme created a new revenue stream for sugar mills, improving cash flow and accelerating payments to cane farmers. He pointed to Uttar Pradesh’s 2024‑25 sugarcane season, where 99.5 percent of arrears have already been cleared – a marked improvement over previous years. The policy also opened a market for maize producers, ensuring better demand and pricing for their harvests.
