Basudeb Banerjee, Chairman, Tea Board said that A F Ferguson had been appointed to develop a business model for the a-auctions in tea while NSE would develop the settlement system. The entire system would be funded by the Tea Board for the first three years.

CTTA officials said tht NSE.IT was expected to demonstrate the functioning of the e-auction software in September 2008 and training sessions would commence by October, 2008.

At present, 143 million kg of tea were sold at the Kolkata auctions and 153 million kg at Guwahati auctions, which accounts for 15 per cent of Indian tea production.
