Price Control and Stability Price control and stability of prices in commodities can be achieved in India by the introduction

of delivery segment in the commodities market. At present the domestic merchants are agitating and opposing the commodities market. Agitations are popping up quoting that the mere existence of the market is the cause for price rise. I suggest that similar to the F & O segment in the capital market, the Commodities market should have a delivery segment. If delivery segment is available in commodity market, it becomes possible for any citizen to invest his money in a commodity of his choice on a long term basis. This will lead to a revolution in agriculture and economy. Is it possible to introduce a delivery segment in commodity market? Of course the answer is a YES. The cost of storing, handling and delivering at a place should be borne by the investors in that commodity. Then one can invest in 1000 tons of Wheat for 5 years, 1000 tons of Paddy/Rice for 10 years, 100 grams Gold for even 100 years, 5 Kilograms of Silver and shall make his profit after deducting for the holding cost. *****
