India,the world’s biggest sugar consumer,currently imposes a 10 percent duty on imports of raw and white sugar. However,importing raw sugar for refining,and selling white sugar in the local market is still viable,said Nandan V. Yalgi,an executive director at the company.

There is a little margin. Earlier it wasn’t there,he said on Friday.
