Solution

The Indian sugar industry is confronted with the following problems:
1. In India, nearly half of the total sugarcane production is diverted to Gur and Khandsari industries which causes a shortage of raw material for the industry.
2. Majority of the mills are old and using obsolete machinery. Management and labor problems further aggregate the situation, making the units uneconomic and sick.
3. The sugar factories also face problem in disposing of the by-products like bagasse and molasses.
