Union Government Rolls Back Restrictions On Export Of N-95/FFP-2 Masks

To catalyze outbound shipping of N-95 masks, the Central Government on October 6 revoked the curbs over its export. Earlier, the country had restricted international trade of the masks to fulfill domestic demand. Reportedly, in August, a quota was fixed for its export. Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal tweeted, "India is making for the world: N95 and FFP2 masks can now be exported freely to countries across the world."
