Summary
- The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has amended the export policy for Baryte, introducing a grade-wise regulatory framework under Notification No. 12/2026-27 dated 17 April 2026.
- Grade A (specific gravity ≥ 4.2) and Grade B (specific gravity between 4.10–4.20) baryte are now classified as "Restricted," requiring prior authorisation from DGFT for export.
- In contrast, Grade CDW (specific gravity < 4.0) remains freely exportable without any licensing requirements.
- This amendment aims to enhance regulatory oversight on high-grade mineral resources while facilitating easier export of lower-grade materials.
