Eye on 2024, Centre moves to curb prices of onion & sugar

The government has introduced new measures to control food prices and increase availability in the domestic market. These measures include a ban on onion exports, restrictions on sugar mills and distilleries, increased wheat sales by the Food Corporation of India, and a reduction in sugar production. These steps are aimed at addressing inflation and ensuring sufficient supply of essential commodities. However, the restrictions on ethanol production may impact the government's blending programme.
