The Narendra Modi government on Thursday lifted all restrictions on the export of alcohol-based hand sanitizers.
"The export of alcohol-based hand sanitizers in the container with dispenser pumps is free for export making the export of alcohol-based hand sanitizers in any form/packaging freely exportable, with immediate effect," the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) said in a notification.
Amid the COVID-19 outbreak, the government had banned the export of all types of sanitizers in March but limited the restriction in May to only alcohol-based sanitizers. In June, the government further relaxed the export restrictions and limited the ban on alcohol-based hand sanitizers to only those in containers with dispenser pumps.
