2   REASON AND PURPOSES FOR INTRODU CING AND MAINTAINING  STATE TRADING 
ENTERPRISES (STES)

3   DESCRIPTION OF THE F UNCTIONING OF THE ST ATE TRADING ENTERPRISES  
A. Policy Provisions  
Para 2.20 of the Foreign Trade Policy 2015 -20 defines STEs as follows : "State Trading Enterprises 
(STEs) are governmental and nongovernmental enterprises, including marketing boards, which deal 
with goods for export and/or imp ort. Any good, import or export of which is governed through 
exclusive or special privilege granted to State Trading Enterprise (STE), may be imported or exported 
by the concerned STE as per conditions specified in ITC (HS).  
Such STE(s) shall make any such  purchases or sales involving imports or exports solely in accordance 
with commercial considerations, including price, quality, availability, marketability, transportation, 
etc. in a non -discriminatory manner and shall afford enterprises of other countries  adequate 
opportunity, in accordance with customary business practices, to compete for participation in such 
purchases or sales. " G/STR/N/16/IND • G/STR/N/17/IND

  B. Details of STEs for Exports  
(i) For certain minerals and ores, exclusive exporting rights are granted to particular enterprise s. 
Export prices in all these cases are determined on commercial considerations and by the demand 
and supply forces in the international market . In the case of iron ore, prices may be fixed on a yearly 
basis as the exports take place under long -term/annual  contracts . In the case of mineral and ore 
products, the quantities available for export are liable to be restricted from time to time, keeping in 
view the domestic requirement as well as the need to conserve exhaustible natural resources . STEs 
in this reg ard are:  
(a) Kudremukh Iron Ore Company Ltd (KIOCL) : KIOCL has been granted the right to 
export iron ore concentrate, produced by itself, prepared by beneficiation and/or 
concentration of low grade iron ore containing 40 % or less of iron and the right to 
expor t Iron ore pellets manufactured by the company out of concentrates produced by 
itself. The ore available at the mines cannot be put to use commercially without 
beneficiation or value addition, and technical and logistical constraints make it unviable 
to put to use the production of the beneficiated ore domestically . The export prices for 
the product are determined by the market forces of demand and supply . The export 
levels are on the basis of supply capacity and demand for the products.  
(b) Miner als and Metals Trading Corporation Limited (MMTC Ltd.) : MMTC was 
established in  1963 as a Company incorporated under the Indian Companies Act, 1956 . 
MMTC is today India's leading international trading company . MMTC is a major global

provides full logistical support for procurement, quality control and guaranteed timely 
deliveries of minerals  from different ports, through a wide network of regional and port 
offices in India . It has been granted the right to export only specified varieties of 
manganese ore, chrome ore lumps as and when there is a surplus of these raw 
materials.

(Aviation turbine fuel), diesel gas oil, other gas oil, kerosene, crude oil and liquefied petroleum gas. 
It has also been granted the privilege to export crude oil. 
C. Details of STEs for imports  
(i) For agricultural products, since the main purpose of maintenance of state trading is both a 
fair return to the farmers as well as food security , i.e. availability of adequate food for all sections 
of the society at prices affordable by them, domestic and international prices as well as su pply 
conditions are the main determinants of the quantities of imports . The resale price of imported 
products is based on commercial considerations . The imports face fair competition from the domestic 
market . For a majority of agricultural products, barrin g rice and wheat, the import policy stands 
changed from STE to free with effect from 29th September  2014.  
The details of the STEs that had been granted import privileges for the four years 2014 -15, 2015 -16,

Department of Agriculture and Co -operation . The Government of India authorises the STE s to import
