Govt allows 2G ethanol exports with authorisation, certification: DGFT

[ad_1] The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) on Wednesday updated India’s export rules to allow Second Generation (2G) ethanol to be exported. 2G ethanol is made from non-food materials like bagasse, wood waste, agricultural residues, grasses, algae, and other renewable resources. It is considered eco-friendly as it produces low CO2 emissions and does not compete with food crops for land.The export will be allowed only if companies have a valid Export Authorisation and feedstock certificate from the relevant authority. The policy applies to ethanol under ITC(HS) Code 22072000, which covers ethyl alcohol and other denatured spirits of any strength.The DGFT notification comes into immediate effect, adding an additional export condition for Second Generation ethanol under Schedule-II of the ITC (HS) 2022.Add as a Reliable and Trusted News Source [ad_2] Source link Follow Us: https://facebook.com/gagab2b https://youtube.com/gagab2b https://gagab2b.com https://gagab2b.com/import-export-news/import-export-india-news/govt-allows-2g-ethanol-exports-with-authorisation-certification-dgft/?feed_id=3318&_unique_id=68e4763fee1cc

[ad_1] New Delhi, India's palm oil imports registered a 34.11 per cent jump on-year in April to 6,84,000 tonnes, buoyed by a fall in global prices, the Solvent Extractors' Association of India (SEA) said on Tuesday. Palm oil accounted for 52 per cent of India's total edible oil imports of 13,04,409 tonnes in April, the trade body said in a statement, adding that sunflower and soybean oils import stood at 6,20,315 tonnes. Including non-edible oils, overall vegetable oil imports rose 26 per cent in April to 13,18,528 tonnes compared to 10,50,189 tonnes a year ago, it said. Bearish global prices encouraged higher imports of refined, bleached and deodorized (RBD) palmolein and crude palm oil (CPO), which declined by nearly USD 100 a tonne last month, SEA said. Soybean oil prices fell USD 40 per tonne globally, while the sunflower oil rate dropped just USD 15 a tonne over the last month, it added. Among palm oils, RBD palmolein imports climbed to 1,24,228 tonnes as aga...

India’s $48 bn input subsidy for power and agri raises hackles

Image
[ad_1] The US, EU, UK and Australia, along with four others, raised concerns at India’s input subsidies for power, irrigation and fertilisers reaching $48 billion in 2022-2023. The US said at a meeting at the World Trade Organization (WTO) last week that this was more than twice the value of all tradedistorting support that it had notified in 2021-22 and called for greater transparency from India. Input subsidies available to lowincome or resource-poor producers in the country amounted to $32 billion in 2021-22. As per the Agriculture Census for 2015-16, 99.43% of farm holdings in the country are of low-income or resource poor farmers.The input subsidies, covered in Article 6.2 of the Agreement on Agriculture of the WTO, allow developing countries additional flexibilities in providing domestic support. They are not subjected to caps as other farm subsidies, such as price and income support, included in Aggregate Measurement of Support (AMS) which is fixed at 5% of agriculture pr...

Indian steel exporters seek relief in India-EU FTA amid rising tariffs

Image
[ad_1] New Delhi: Indian steel exporters are pinning hopes on the India-European Union negotiations for a free trade agreement (FTA) to mitigate the adverse impact of steep tariffs set to kick in next year.The halved quota for duty-free imports and 50% tariff on imports beyond that proposed by the European Commission threaten to render Indian steel exports to the common market uncompetitive, analysts and industry representatives said."This (higher steel duties and lowered quota) should be the central point of the EU-India FTA talks," Pankaj Chadha, chairman of the Engineering Export Promotion Council, told ET. The EU steel duties are a bigger challenge than the US tariffs since Indian steel exporters have "a huge exposure to the European market", he said.This fiscal year, India exported 1.06 million tonnes of steel to the EU till August, accounting for roughly 47% of its total shipments of the alloy. Italy, Belgium and Spain are among the top five export dest...
