MUMBAI – The Directorate General of Foreign Trade has invited applications from eligible millers and refiners for allocation of the remaining 202,550 tonnes of sugar under the tariff-rate quota for imports. Of the 1 million tonnes of raw sugar under the tariff-rate quota scheme for imports, applications covering 797,450 tonnes of sugar were received, and the quantity was allocated on Aug. 20, the directorate said Tuesday.
The directorate said the application window would remain open for seven days from the date the notice is issued. Applications may be submitted online through the directorate's website, it added.
Unlike the one-time allocation under the previous notice, the remaining quantity will be allocated daily. All applications received up to 1730 IST on a given day will be treated as a single batch and processed together for allocation on the following working day, the notice said. Applications received after 1730 IST will be carried over and combined with the next day's batch. Allocation will be based on aggregate demand for that day's batch, it added.
In the event the cumulative quantity applied for during a day, when combined with the quantity already allocated up to the preceding day, exceeds the remaining quota, allocation will be made on a pro-rata basis among all applicants of that batch, in proportion to the quantity applied for by each applicant, according to the notice. Applications submitted after the quota is fully exhausted will not be considered for allocation.
Manual or offline submissions will not be considered, and the date and time stamp of submission, as recorded on the portal, will determine the day on which an application is considered submitted, according to the notice. End
