Countries. They use Caustic soda lye as a Raw Material to manufacture the export product viz. Caustic Soda Flakes / Solids. They had exported their products under the above mentioned DFIA Authorisations, which were valid until 26.12.2020. However, they were not able to utilize the same under the validity period of the same due to below mentioned reasons:-

Not only India, but globally manufacturing activity has comedown drastically due to lockdowns and similar restrictions because of Covid-19 pandemic. Such reduction in manufacturing has led to acute shortage of raw materials causing unavailability of the same leading to reduced production and at times complete shutdown of production.
This situation led to an acute slowdown in India as well as global economies, which caused foreign trade activities to take a massive hit.
Caustic soda lye is imported from Iran & China, on one hand Iran is facing sanctions and trade with Iran is not possible, hostile relations with China has led review of orders and deferment of future import orders in view of uncertainly in trade.
These has made it impossible for them to import or find a buyer to transfer the subject authorisation as even now utilization of these authorisations is subject to restrictions of industrial manufacturing activities both domestically & abroad.

t or find a buyer to transfer the subject authorisation as even now utilization of these authorisations is subject to restrictions of industrial manufacturing activities both domestically & abroad.

Further, stated that their entire staff including senior management was exposed to Covid-19 and fought a long way to survive and rejoin work. Hence, requested to allow revalidation for 1 year from the date of endorsement as one time relaxation.
