DGFT allows additional 12 months for Export of Red Sanders Heart Wood in log form by Odisha Govt

The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has granted the Odisha government an additional 12 months to complete the export of Red Sanders Heart Wood in log form. This extension applies to the export consignments already sanctioned under previous trade authorizations. Red Sanders, a valuable timber, is subject to strict export regulations due to its rarity and environmental significance. The extension allows Odisha to fulfill its export commitments while complying with international and environmental norms. This decision also reflects the government’s effort to balance environmental protection with trade obligations.
