Sugar mills in Maharashtra are expected to start sugarcane crushing with full capacity around November 10, a senior official said on Tuesday.
Generally the crushing season starts in mid-October.
The crushing, the first stage in the sugar production, was delayed this year as the prolonged monsoon has delayed cane harvest, the official told PTI.
