The sugar industry highly dispersed in India because:

• Sugarcane is cultivated throughout the country. It is cultivated in northern, peninsular and southern India. Hence sugarcane industries are spread in the country near to the sugarcane fields.
• The area under sugar cane cultivation is limited due to the pressure of food crops. Thus, the sugar factories are highly dispersed even in areas which have large percentage of land under sugar cane cultivation.
