Levy sugar means sugar requisitioned by the Central Government under clause (f) of sub-section (2) of section 3 of the Essential Commodities Act, 1955. It is administered through the Levy Sugar Supply (Control) Order, 1979. Under this system, every sugar mill mandatorily surrenders 10% of its production to the Central Government as levy sugar, at a pre-determined price. This enables Central Government to get access to low cost sugar stocks for distribution through PDS and for supply to Army Purchase Organization (APO) / Central Paramilitary Forces.
