Congress alleges ₹36,000-crore sugar scam

Congress leader Randeep Surjewala alleged the government diverted 32% of sugarcane stocks for producing E20 fuel between November 2025 and July 2026, limiting sugar supplies for consumers. He claimed this diversion contributed to a ₹36,000-crore “sugar scam” and festive price rise. The allegation questions government policy on the ethanol blending targets and sugarcane allocation choices.
