India Imposes $800 Per Tonne Minimum Export Price On Onion
The government on Saturday imposed a minimum export price (MEP) of USD 800 per tonne on onion exports till December 31 this year with a view to increase availability of the vegetable in the domestic market and contain prices.
The decision will come into effect from October 29.
Besides, the government has also announced the procurement of additional 2 lakh tonnes of onion for the buffer, over and above the 5 lakh tonnes already procured.
The MEP is there for all varieties of onion except Bangalore Rose and Krishnapuram onions; and for cut, sliced, or broken in powder forms.
"Exports of onions is free. MEP of USD 800 FOB (free on board) per tonne is imposed till December 31, 2023," the Directorate General of Foreign Trade said in a notification.
An official statement said that the step will help in maintaining sufficient availability of onion to domestic consumers at affordable prices as the quantity of stored Rabi 2023 onion is declining.
The USD 800 per tonne MEP translates into about Rs 67 per kg.
Onion from the buffer has been disposed continuously since the second week of August in major consumption centres all over the country, and also supplied to retail consumers at Rs 25 per kg through mobile vans operated by NCCF and NAFED.
"Till date about 1.70 lakh metric tonne of onion has been disposed from the buffer. The continuous procurement and disposal of onion from the buffer are undertaken to moderate the prices for consumers while ensuring remunerative prices to the onion farmers," the statement said.
The DGFT notification added that certain onion consignments will be allowed to be exported without MEP and that included consignments that have been handed over to the Customs before this notification and is registered in their system.
Onion consignment that has entered the Customs station for exportation before this notification and is registered in the electronic systems of the concerned custodian of the Customs station with verifiable evidence of date and time stamping of these commodities having entered the customs station prior to the issuance of this notification is also permitted to be exported.
It added that export duty will not be refunded, if paid.
Onion prices have further risen to Rs 65-80 per kg in the retail market of the national capital on lower supply.
Mother Dairy, which has around 400 Safal retail stores in Delhi-NCR, is selling loose onions at Rs 67 per kg. E-commerce portal Bigbasket is selling at Rs 67 per kg, while Otipy at Rs 70 per kg.
Local vendors are selling onions at Rs 80 per kg.
Mother Dairy was selling onions at Rs 54-56 per kg on Wednesday and now the rates have touched Rs 67 per kg.
With the rise in retail prices, the Centre on Friday decided to step up the sale of buffer onion at a subsidised rate of Rs 25 per kg in retail markets in order to provide relief to consumers.
According to the Department of Consumer Affairs data, on Saturday the all-India average retail price of onion is Rs 45 per kg, but the maximum price is Rs 80 per kg. In Delhi, the average price is ruling at Rs 75 per kg.
According to the ministry, onion is being offloaded from the buffer stock in both wholesale and retail markets in those states where there is a sharp rise in prices.
Since mid-August, about 1.7 lakh tonnes of buffer onion has been offloaded in 22 states at different locations.
In retail markets, buffer onion is being offloaded through two cooperative bodies NCCF and NAFED outlets and vehicles at a subsidised rate of Rs 25 per kg.
In Delhi too, buffer onion is being sold at this subsidised rate.
A senior government official said the delay in kharif onion sowing due to weather reasons has resulted in less coverage and late arrival of the crop.
The fresh kharif onion should have started arriving by now but it has not.
With stored rabi onion getting exhausted and due to delay in the arrival of the kharif onion, there is a tight supply situation, resulting in price increases in both wholesale and retail markets, the official added.
He also mentioned that the government has doubled the buffer onion stock for the current year and this should improve domestic availability and check prices in the coming days.
For the 2023-24 fiscal year, the consumer affairs ministry through NCCF and NAFED has maintained a buffer onion stock of 5 lakh tonnes and plans to procure an additional 2 lakh tonnes of onion in the coming days.

Bitcoin Nears $31,000 Mark. Here Are The Reasons For Its Recent Boom
Cryptocurrency Bitcoin is witnessing a boom and the coin managed to gain 2.19 per cent and traded at $30,543.48 on Monday. The value of the largest cryptocurrency by circulation went up by over 9.5 per cent in the past seven days and is nearing the $31,000 mark now.
Bitcoin price witnessed sluggish growth and lost significant value in the crypto crashes in recent years. Bitcoin managed to attain an all-time high of $68,789.63 on November 10, 2021, before it started dropping in value. The tables have turned now owing to the recent surge rally in the crypto domain.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin held a market capitalization of $596.19 billion, up by 2.2 per cent, according to CoinMarketCap statistics. In addition, the 24-hour trade volume saw a substantial hike of 22.5 per cent and was recorded at $16.14 billion. In the past month, the cryptocurrency behemoth gained 14.91 per cent in value.
October has proven to be a lucky month for Bitcoin, aka BTC, and the entire crypto market. In October, Bitcoin price shot up by about 12.7 per cent.
The recent Bitcoin surge can be attributed to several key factors. At first, the market for crypto rallied on October 21 and led to the liquidation of about $64 million in short positions in the span of 24 hours. This liquidation, including a staggering figure of $2.53 million on the crypto trading app Binance forced short-sellers to cover their positions, thereby adding to the Bitcoin demand.
In addition, US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's hints of possible suspension of interest rate hikes may have also had an immediate effect on Bitcoin price.
According to a report by Coinpedia, on October 19, Bitcoin surged by about 3.7 per cent after Powell's remarks.
Apart from the above mentioned factors, the crypto market sentiment was further boosted by a drop in charges against Ripple executives in the XRP vs SEC lawsuit. The XRP price rose over 8 per cent on Thursday and likely affected Bitcoin's price as well, considering that cryptocurrency is an integrated market.

India Among Top 3 Nations With Highest 5G Base, Remarkable: Nokia CEO
The 5G network rollout in India has been remarkable and the country is among the top three nations with the largest 5G installed base in the world, a top Nokia official said on Thursday. Nokia President and CEO Pekka Lundmark was addressing an event during the inauguration of the company's 6G research lab in Bengaluru.
"5G rollout in India is truly remarkable. This has been one of the fastest telecom network roll-outs ever and means India is now among the top three countries in the world that have the largest 5G installed base, with 5G download speeds beating those found in many advanced markets," Lundmark said.
While there has been a decline in telecom gear shipment across major geographies, the 5G rollout in India has been able to offset a dip in the business of Ericsson and Nokia.
Nokia posted 333 per cent growth in India sales at about Rs 9,500 crore in the June quarter of 2023.
Ericsson reported 74 per cent growth in net sales in the June 2023 quarter in "South East Asia, Oceania and India" to around Rs 10,700 crore of which around 90 per cent of its business comes from India.
Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel are expected to invest about Rs 75,000 crore in the current financial year to strengthen their networks, according to a report by JM Financial.
According to the report, Jio may invest around Rs 42,000 crore and Bharti Airtel around Rs 33,000 crore in FY24, but the investment will taper down after their 5G network rollout target is met as per their announcement.
"We are satisfied with this work so far - but there is still more to do. We will continue to support India's digital transformation across industry, society and public services," Lundmark said.
Nokia's 6G Lab was inaugurated virtually by Union Telecom Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw.
The first-of-its-kind project aims to accelerate the development of fundamental technologies and innovative use cases underpinned by 6G technology that will address the future needs of both industry and society.
Nokia's 6G lab will function as a platform for collaboration among industry stakeholders and facilitate the testing of innovative solutions while establishing their potential for commercialisation.
The lab includes a setup to research 'Network as a Sensor' technology that enables the network to sense objects, people and movement without the need for onboard sensors.
In the 6G era, 'Network as a Sensor' has been identified as a key enabling technology that supports the vision of bringing the digital and physical worlds together, Nokia said in a statement.
Sensing will be fully integrated into the wireless network and operate simultaneously with communication services.
"Nokia's experts at its Bengaluru centre will support India's ambition to make notable contributions towards global 6G technology standards. Further, it is in the process of building research collaborations with premier research institutes in India like IISc and IITs to further scale up the 6G research initiative in India," the statement said.
Last month, India's vision to have ubiquitous coverage under 6G technology was accepted by UN body ITU's Study Group in its meeting held in Geneva -- a move that is expected to reduce the cost of deployment of the next-generation technology.
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) decides on the development of international mobile telecommunication standards after coordination with its member countries, technology companies and other stakeholders.
India has already secured more than 200 patents on 6G technology through Industry and academic collaboration with the support of the Department of Telecom.
