The Industry and Commerce and Labour and Consumer Welfare Committee under the parliament has directed the Finance Ministry to grant permission for the import of sugar at subsidized rates.
The ministry has been urged to ensure VAT exemption and discount on customs duty on imports of 50,000 metric tons of sugar as demanded by the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Supplies (MoICS) to avert possible shortage of sugar during the festive season.
