Sugar imports from Pakistan miniscule: Commerce ministry

New Delhi, May 16 (PTI) India imported just 1,908 tonnes of sugar from Pakistan since April this year, the government said today, rebutting opposition charge that large quantities of the sweetener are being shipped from the neighbouring nation.

The government also said that it would not impose any country-specific ban on sugar imports as India is signatory to the WTO pact.

“Imports have been taking place from Pakistan but it has been miniscule when compared to India’s total production and exports,” Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) chief Alok Vardhan Chaturvedi told reporters here.

Till May 14 of this fiscal, mere 1,908 tonnes for a value of USD 0.657 million has been imported from Pakistan, as per the DGFT, which is under the commerce ministry.

“It is difficult to say whether the quantity of sugar imported from Pakistan was duty-free at present,” he said and noted that there was no cause of concern.
