Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has amended the Standard Input Output Norms (SION) E-136 to permit the export of Wheat Flour (Atta) with Millets. The revised conditions require the export item to contain at least 60% wheat flour and 15% millets. Wheat import entitlement under the Advance Authorization scheme will be based on the wheat flour content, with 1.07 kg of wheat allowed for every 1 kg of wheat flour exported. Additionally, millets and other ingredients must be sourced domestically, and export declarations must specify ingredient percentages. Other existing conditions from previous public notices remain in effect.
