# Sugar sector to post lacklustre show in Q3, faces multiple headwinds: Report - Markets | ET Now

> An earnings preview expects India's sugar sector to post a weak Q3 FY25, with sugar prices down about 5% year on year and India's sugar output forecast to fall 12% to 28 million tonnes. Ethanol volumes are growing modestly, but ethanol prices for the season have not been revised.

## Why it matters

Lower Indian sugar output and a delayed ethanol price decision affect cane-based ethanol and molasses supply. Feed buyers have limited direct exposure, so the effect on feed grain prices is minor.
