QuoteBe it implementing ‘One Nation, One Tax’ or ‘One Nation, One Card’ we have greatly enhanced uniformity in governance: PM Modi
QuoteThanks to the arrogance of the Congress party, the victims of the gruesome 1984 anti-Sikh riots are still awaiting justice: PM Modi

Addressing the fourth large rally for the day in Chandigarh, PM Modi said, “These elections are about the people of the country electing a strong government by choosing ‘India First’ over ‘Dynasty First’ and ‘Development’ over ‘Dynasty’ as it takes giant leaps into the 21st century.”

PM Modi described the rapid strides taken by the nation during the last five years owing to the clean, efficient and strong policies of the BJP-led NDA government and said, “Be it implementing ‘One Nation, One Tax’ or ‘One Nation, One Card’ we have greatly enhanced uniformity in governance which have been further complemented by the major push for digitisation under this government. As a result, India today has a very strong digital payments system as well as the JAM trinity through which we have rooted out ghost beneficiaries of government schemes. Milestones like these happen when a government makes ‘people’ its priority rather than ‘power’ and when it is committed to ensuring equal opportunities for all Indians.”

Lashing out at the Congress party for its role in inciting the anti-Sikh riots in 1984, PM Modi said, “Thanks to the arrogance of the Congress party, the victims of the gruesome 1984 anti-Sikh riots are still awaiting justice as many of the perpetrators have not been punished for their crimes. The Congress party even went further and rewarded those accused in these riots with ministerial posts and their recent statement trying to justify their historical wrongs has yet again revealed that the true face of the Congress party is anti-Sikh. It is because of their arrogance and such statements that the people no longer associate themselves with the divisive politics of the Congress.”

April 30, 2025
QuoteCabinet approves Fair and Remunerative Price of sugarcane payable by Sugar Mills to sugarcane farmers for sugar season 2025-26
QuoteFair and Remunerative Price of Rs. 355/qtl approved for Sugarcane Farmers
QuoteDecision will benefit 5 crore sugarcane farmers and their dependents, as well as 5 lakh workers employed in the sugar mills and related ancillary activities

Keeping in view interest of sugarcane farmers (GannaKisan), the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has approved Fair and Remunerative Price (FRP) of sugarcane for sugar season 2025-26 (October - September) at Rs.355/qtl for a basic recovery rate of 10.25%, providing a premium of Rs.3.46/qtl for each 0.1% increase in recovery over and above 10.25%, & reduction in FRP by Rs.3.46/qtl for every 0.1% decrease in recovery.

However, the Government with a view to protect interest of sugarcane farmers has also decided that there shall not be any deduction in case of sugar mills where recovery is below 9.5%. Such farmers will get Rs.329.05/qtl for sugarcane in ensuing sugar season 2025-26.

The cost of production (A2 +FL) of sugarcane for the sugar season 2025-26 is Rs.173/qtl. This FRP of Rs.355/qtl at a recovery rate of 10.25% is higher by 105.2% over production cost. The FRP for sugar season 2025-26 is 4.41% higher than current sugar season 2024-25.

The FRP approved shall be applicable for purchase of sugarcane from the farmers in the sugar season 2025-26 (starting w.e.f. 1st October, 2025) by sugar mills. The sugar sector is an important agro-based sector that impacts the livelihood of about 5 crore sugarcane farmers and their dependents and around 5 lakh workers directly employed in sugar mills, apart from those employed in various ancillary activities including farm labour and transportation.

Background:

The FRP has been determined on the basis of recommendations of Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP) and after consultation with State Governments and other stake-holders.

In the previous sugar season 2023-24, out of cane dues payable of ₹ 1,11,782 crores about Rs.1,11,703 crores cane dues have been paid to farmers, as on 28.04.2025; thus, 99.92% cane dues have been cleared. In the current sugar season 2024-25, out of cane dues payable of Rs.97,270 crore about Rs.85,094 crores cane dues have been paid to farmers, as on 28.04.2025; thus, 87% cane dues have been cleared.
