NFCSF Backs India’s Sugar Control Order 2025

How Mill Optimization Can Counteract Declining Output

India’s National Federation of Cooperative Sugar Factories (NFCSF) has welcomed the government’s Sugar (Control) Order 2025, emphasizing the need for swift reforms to address an 18% decline in national sugar output this season. As mills grapple with tighter regulations and shrinking margins, optimizing operational efficiency has become more critical than ever.

At SLI Industries, we specialize in precision-engineered wear-resistant components that empower mills to thrive under evolving industry demands. Here’s how our solutions align with NFCSF’s call for modernization.

The Challenge: Declining Output & Regulatory Pressure

• 18% Drop in Production: Unfavorable weather and resource constraints have strained India’s sugarcane supply.
• New Compliance Requirements: The 2025 Sugar Control Order emphasizes sustainable practices and operational transparency.
• NFCSF’s Appeal: The federation has urged mills nationwide to adopt cost-effective technologies in order to offset losses and meet regulatory standards.

SLI’s Insight:

“Efficiency isn’t just about output—it’s about maximizing every resource. Our components help mills crush smarter, not just harder.”

SLI’s Solutions: Bridging Efficiency Gaps

a) Extend Equipment Lifespan by 30–40%

• Problem: Frequent component wear (e.g., hammer tips, shredders) inflates costs and disrupts compliance.
• SLI Fix: Carbide-enhanced hammer tips (62–64 HRC) reduce replacements significantly, ensuring less interruptions during crushing.

b) Reduce Energy Consumption by 10–15%

• Problem: Rising power costs could erode margins under the new Sugar Control Order.
• SLI Fix: Low-friction knife bodies and anvil segments lower energy use, thereby supporting the call for increased sustainability.

c) Ensure Consistent Quality for Compliance

• Problem: Variable output risks mills falling short of the 2025 Sugar Control Order’s quality benchmarks.
• SLI Fix: Chromium carbide components deliver uniform cutting, which improves extraction rates, as well as sugar purity.

SLI’s Role:

“From India’s regulatory shifts to export booms around the globe, our solutions are proven in the world’s toughest markets.”
