With 3.69 lakh tonnes of levy sugar quota released each for these months, the total quantity of sugar available for internal consumption would be 12.69 lakh tonnes for the month of October, 11.69 lakh tonnes for November and 11.69 lakh tonnes for December respectively, it said.

The free sale quotas are meant for internal consumption and with enough stocks of sugar available in hand, the government is in a position to release more sugar in case the situation so warrants, it added.
