No. 20 ( 8 ) -Tar/ 64.The Indian Tariff Commission examined the cost structure of sugar during 1958-59 and submitted ils report on the subject in Sep'cmber 1959 . The Commission suggested four cost schedules , one each for the Nortnern region , Bombay region , Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan region and the Southern region . These schedules were adopted by Government for determination of sugar prices from year to year . Since the time of submission of the last report by the Tariff Commission in 1959 , changes have taken place in the wage structure as a result of the Report of the Central Wage Board for Sugar Industry and the capital structure of the industry on account of establishment of a large number of new units and expansions in existing units . The new units which have been establishe at large capital outlay , are , on the other hand , using modern equipment which is more efficient and labour - saving , as compared to the equipment available with the old factories . A number of factories , which have effected substantial expan- sions , have increased their capacitics several - fold . There has also been increase in costs of stores etc. In the circumstances , the Government of India are of the opinion that a fresh examination of the cost structure of suger and the fair price payable to the industry is necessary .
