India set to ban sugar exports for first time in 7 years: Report
MUMBAI/NEW DELHI (Reuters) -India is expected to ban mills from exporting sugar in the next season beginning in October, halting shipments for the first time in seven years, as a lack of rain has cut cane yields, three government sources said. India's absence from the world market would be likely to increase benchmark prices in New York and London that are already trading around multi-year highs, triggering fears of further inflation on global food markets. "Our primary focus is to fulfill local sugar requirements and produce ethanol from surplus sugarcane," said a government source who asked not to be named in line with official rules.

Vegetable prices to ease by September, RBI keeping close vigil on inflation: Governor Shaktikanta Das
vegetable prices that caused an alarming spike in the latest monthly consumer inflation assessment should start easing next month following the arrival of fresh crops and join the broad directional trend on core inflation, Reserve Bank of India Governor Shaktikanta Das said Wednesday, but higher-than-mandated prints for the price gauge have lengthened the odds on a rate cut through the latter half of FY24. «On the positive side, inflation excluding food and fuel (core inflation) has softened by around 130 basis points from its recent peak. Although it is still elevated at 4.9 per cent, this steady easing of core inflation indicates tight monetary policy is working,” Governor Das said while delivering the Lalit Doshi Memorial Lecture in Mumbai.
