Friday, 13 September 2024 The Indian government has scrapped the minimum export price of USD 550 per tonne for onions to support farmers and enhance exports. This decision is particularly significant with Maharashtra's assembly elections approaching, a major onion-producing region. The Directorate General of Foreign Trade has enforced this policy change immediately to take advantage of the global oversupply.

The Government will back a third runway at Heathrow Airport as it looks to go “further and faster” on growth, the chancellor has announced. In a speech in Oxfordshire on growth, Rachel Reeves said the west London airport’s expansion is “badly needed” because “for decades its growth has been constrained”. Reeves stated that a third runway could increase potential GDP by 0.43% by 2050 and create more than 100,000 jobs. Heathrow’s plan to build a third runway received parliamentary approval in June 2018, but has been delayed by legal challenges and the coronavirus pandemic. Report by Faragt.
