India opens applications for remaining 202,550 tonnes under sugar import quota
Applications for 797,450 tonnes have already been received and allocated, leaving a portion of the approved quota still available
India has issued an invitation for applications to utilize the remaining 202,550 metric tonnes of raw sugar under its duty-free import quota, announced last month. The Directorate General of Foreign Trade revealed this in a government circular on Tuesday. The quota, established at 1 million tonnes, was approved by New Delhi to cater to the country's heightened sugar demand during the festival season, when consumption of the sweetener typically surges due to traditional sweet-making activities.
Applications for the quota were initially accepted last month until October 31, with a total of 797,450 tonnes received and allocated. The remaining 202,550 tonnes are now up for consideration, as per the Directorate General of Foreign Trade. Applicants are required to submit their comments in English, ensuring they are written in full sentences and devoid of abusive or personal remarks. The community guidelines emphasize adherence to these standards for all posts.
