The Sugar Advisory Board, chaired by Minister for Industries and Production Rana Tanveer Hussain, has decided to cap sugar prices at Rs 130 per kilogram during Ramadan to ensure affordability for consumers.
The decision was made in a high-level meeting attended by representatives from the Pakistan Sugar Mills Association, provincial secretaries, and cane commissioners.
Authorities have also approved the establishment of special sugar stalls three days before Ramadan, which will remain operational until 27th Ramadan.
The sugar will be available in one and two-kilogram packs, and each identity card holder will be allowed to purchase up to five kilograms.
To prevent price manipulation and ensure fair distribution, the stalls will be monitored by federal ministers and chief secretaries.
The initiative aims to provide financial relief to the public amid rising commodity prices, ensuring stable sugar supply throughout the holy month.
