NEW DELHI, March 5: The Indian government has approved the export of 50,000 tonnes of onions to Bangladesh and 14,400 tonnes to the UAE, despite ongoing restrictions on outbound shipments of the staple vegetable. For exports to the UAE, a quarterly limit of 3,600 tonnes has been set, according to an official notification from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT). The modalities for exporting onions to Bangladesh will be coordinated by the National Cooperative Exports Limited (NCEL) in consultation with the Department of Consumer Affairs, as per the notification.
