India has restricted the export of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), as of a March 23 notification[1] from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) that moved 17 different HS codes for hydrofluorocarbons from the export policy of "Free" to "Restricted”. Earlier in March, the DGFT has imposed similar curbs on imports[2] of these HFCs with immediate effect.
