Onion export has been banned beyond 31st March until further notice. This is as per a notification from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), which is responsible for formulating and implementing the foreign trade policy.
In December last year, the Centre imposed a ban on onion exports till March 31, 2024, to ensure sufficient supplies and fair retail prices in the domestic market, after the retail prices of the bulb soared to as high as Rs 70-80 per kilogram.
