The Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) has proposed an export ban on key raw materials like sulphur and helium due to supply chain disruptions caused by the ongoing conflict in West Asia. The industry body is advocating for a temporary relaxation of Quality Control Orders (QCOs) to facilitate easier sourcing of critical materials, especially for micro, small, and medium enterprises. Additionally, FICCI suggests that the government fast-track import approvals and deploy Indian-flagged vessels from ports like Mundra, Pipavav, and Nhava Sheva to ensure a reliable shipping alternative when international services are disrupted. The urgency of these measures is underscored by India's challenges with elevated inflation, currency volatility, and a widening current account deficit. FICCI has also recommended establishing alternative regional transit hubs in the UAE, Oman, and Saudi Arabia to bypass congested primary ports, alongside creating a green channel for expedited cargo movement without additional customs clearance.
