The Directorate of Sugar and Vegetable Oils has make a step forward towards strengthening the 'Digital India' Initiative through API integration of ERP/SAP systems of sugar mills with the NSWS portal. This integration will ensure real-time data availability, accuracy and elimination of data redundancy.

Further, about 200 more sugar mills/group sugar mills are developing their API modules and most of these are testing their module in UAT and Pre- Production Environment (PPE) and may complete the testing by the end of October 2024.
However, remaining sugar mills have not provided any information about the development of the API module, which is in violation of directions issued by this Directorate under the provisions of Sugar (Control) Order, 1966. Therefore, all sugar mills are directed to update the status of API integration with NSWS portal through NIC e-form available on the following link:- https://nicforms.nic.in/
Also, following timelines for completion of the above said API integration with NSWS portal has been decided and circulated for adherence by the sugar mills :-
• Sugar mills having ERP/SAP or other similar softwares must complete their API integration by November 20, 2024 and submit their P-II for October-2024 through API only.
• Sugar mills operating without any software or with Tally/Excel should procure ERP/SAP or similar software and must complete their API integration by December 31, 2024 and submit their P-Il for November-2024 through API.
Keeping in view of the above, all the sugar mills are hereby directed to complete their API integration and adhere the above timelines, failing which the monthly release quota of sugar from January- 2025 onwards shall not be allocated to the non-compliant sugar mills.
