The Government does not have a separate Defence Export Policy. The Export and Import Policy along with the conditions thereof is available in the ITC (HS) Classification of Export and Import items as published by Department of Commerce. The same can be accessed on the DGFT website at www.dgft.gov.in. Schedule 2 of the ITC (HS) Classification of Export and Import items gives the item-wise Export Policy, whether Prohibited or Restricted or Free along with whether an NOC from the concerned administrative Ministry is required for such exports.
Formulation of the Export Policy of any item is based upon availability of the item in the country and factors such as production, domestic demand, price situation and various national and international commitments.
This information was given by Minister of State for Defence Shri Jitendra Singh in a written reply to Shri D. Bandyopadhyay in Rajya Sabha today.
