DGFT Restricts Import of Cabinet Hinges Valued Below ₹280/kg Under Revised Policy

DGFT curbs imports of cabinet hinges below ₹3/kg, revising trade policies to protect domestic manufacturers. The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has imposed specific restrictions on the import of cabinet hinges priced below ₹280 per kilogram (note: the summary provided ₹3/kg, which is a typo for ₹280/kg based on typical pricing for such items). This trade policy revision aims to safeguard local manufacturers from intense competition posed by cheaper, often mass-produced, foreign products. The measure aligns with the government's broader objective of promoting domestic production and enhancing self-reliance in various manufacturing sectors.
