Centre allows export of 99,150 MT of onion

The government has permitted the export of 99,150 metric tons of onions to six neighboring countries, including Bangladesh, UAE, Bhutan, Bahrain, Mauritius, and Sri Lanka. This decision follows the imposition of restrictions on onion exports to maintain sufficient domestic supply, given projections of reduced Kharif and Rabi crops for 2023-24 and heightened international demand.
