After TV sets & tyres, govt bans AC imports

The government on Thursday banned the import of air conditioners in its latest bid to boost domestic production by checking the entry of “non-essential” goods into the country. A notification issued by the directorate general of foreign trade (DGFT) moved split and “other” ACs with refrigerants into the “prohibited” category from the “free” list. They join the list of products such as tyres, TVs sets and agarbattis where import restrictions have been imposed.
