New Delhi, May 28 (SocialNews.XYZ) The Union government on Thursday lifted the restriction on the export of paracetamol APIs.
In March, the Centre had imposed curbs on the export of several active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) and formulations made from these APIs including paracetamol, and tinidazole, on concerns of shortage of drugs in the country.
On April 17, the government lifted the restrictions on shipments of formulations made from paracetamol.
"The notification dated 03.03.2020 is further amended to remove restriction on export of Paracetamol APIs, making its export 'free' with immediate effect," said a statement from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) on Thursday.
India is a major exporter of paracetamol and hydroxychloroquine, which have witnessed a surge in demand amid the coronavirus crisis.
