Govt Allows Pharma-Grade Sugar Export Under Restricted Category
The government has said that companies can export a certain amount of special sugar used to make medicines.
This sugar must meet strict standards, and companies need permission to export it.
Only businesses that actually make medicines can export this type of sugar.
Also, the government has created a website feature called 'Source from India' to help international buyers find Indian suppliers.
This website will give exporters a way to show their products and credentials.
The government will permit the export of up to 25,000 tonnes of pharma-grade sugar annually.
Exports are restricted and require authorization.
Only bona fide pharmaceutical exporters are eligible.
The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) issued the notification.
