The procedure has been notified for the second round of allocation of Gold Tariff Rate Quota (TRQ) pursuant to the India–UAE Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) for FY 2025- 26. DGFT has invited fresh bids through an e-auction on the MSTC portal for a restricted quantity of 80 metric tonnes. The notice follows directions of the Delhi High Court requiring an expeditious review of TRQ allocations and a broader, more inclusive allocation policy, particularly for first-time applicants and entities without large historical turnover. The specific caps are prescribed for MSMEs and other units, while allowing participation by first-round allottees beyond their earlier allocations. Successful bidders will receive TRQ authorisations valid for six months.
