The world's largest sugar producer and number two exporter after Brazil said on Tuesday that shipments would be limited to 10 million tons for the current marketing year to September.
The decision was taken "with a view to maintain the domestic availability and price stability during the sugar season," the food ministry said in a statement.
Sugar exports are forecast to hit a record high this marketing year, with contracts signed for around nine million tons, and 7.8 million tons already shipped, it said.
Citing inflation and its own food security needs, in mid-May India banned any new wheat exports without government approval after the hottest March on record --blamed on climate change -- hit harvests.
The decision also stoked fears of growing protectionism in the wake of the conflict.
The export ban also left hundreds of thousands of tons of wheat stranded at a major port in western India, with long lines of thousands of trucks waiting to unload.
Authorities stressed that government-to-government requests for wheat from other countries reeling from record high prices would be permitted.
Elsewhere in Asia, Indonesia temporarily halted palm oil exports and Malaysia banned chicken exports.
