Commodity Trading Industry Outlook

Monday, August 05 2019

During the Nineteenth Century, Indian commodities markets viewed ever-increasing regional exchanges in several parts of the country. Although official derivatives trading in commodities began in India as early as in 1875, the ban imposed by the Government/regulators after independence had retarded the growth of commodity futures market. The most prevalent contracts during that time were fabric futures (Cotton, Jute etc.) or contracts based on a gamut of Indian exotic spices (Pepper, Turmeric etc.)1.

Since 1980s in general and economic and trade liberalisation in the early 1990s in particular, the Government of India (GoI) formed several advisory Committees namely, Committee on Forward Markets (Khusro Committee),Committee on Forward Markets (Kabra Committee) and Expert Committee on Strengthening and Developing Agricultural Marketing (Guru Committee) to revive the commodity futures market in India.
