The Union Ministry of Commerce and Industry said that the export of alcohol-based hand stisers in containers with dispenser pumps or in any form of packaging will be free, with immediate effect.
The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) which functions under the Union Ministry of Commerce and Industry in a notification on Thursday said that "The export of alcohol-based hand stisers in container with dispenser pumps is free for export making the export of alcohol-based hand stisers in any form/packaging freely exportable, with immediate effect."
Earlier in March this year, the Central government had banned export of all types of stisers amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The restriction was limited to only alcohol-based stisers later in the month of May.
In June, the government further relaxed the export restrictions and limited the ban on alcohol-based hand stisers to only those in containers with dispenser pumps.
