Increase in minimum support price could improve the operating margin parameter of several sugar mill companies in sugar season, a Crisil report said. “Raw material cost as a proportion of sugar sales increased to about 90% in the current season following an uptick in the Fair and Remunerative Price of sugarcane, and subdued sugar prices owing to oversupply both locally and globally,” the report added.
