"As on February 28, 2017, 257 sugar mills are continuing their crushing operations, whereas in 2015-16 sugar season, 390 mills were in operation on the same date," Indian Sugar Mills Association said in a statement.
ISMA attributed the fall in production to drought in southern and western parts of India during the last two years, impacting sugarcane output and productivity in these regions.
