Government has announced these ‘Chinese restrictions’ on pocket lighters

In an effort to reduce dependence on Chinese imports and promote domestic manufacturing, the Indian government has imposed a ban on the import of pocket lighter parts. The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) issued a notification on October 13, restricting the import of these components with immediate effect.
The ban is expected to have a significant impact on the import of lighter parts, which primarily originate from China.
