SURPLUSES WILL BE available for diversion to India in May and beyond, the official added. The purpose of the group is to pick up early signals and notice any surge due to trade diversion at an early stage instead of waiting for the domestic industry to flag it so that remedial action is faster, he said. "The idea is to observe these imports and see if any measures need to be taken. It will look at all the data points closely, including shipments coming from air and sea routes. While intense watch is required, volatility in imports is normal," he added.
