The pricing is not really a problem. The last judgment that had come out said that UP sugar mills, as an interim measure, will have to pay farmers at Rs 110 per quintal. So, the pricing is not really an issue out here as all mills knew they have to pay at the rate of Rs 110 per quintal.

However, the issue for sugar manufacturers could be the duration that they have been given at this point of time. Four-weeks or a months time is really not that long a timeframe considering that the industry has been reeling under past losses, never mind the kind of profits that they have made in the current quarter.
