The Government of India, taking an important decision on May 17, has imposed port ban on some products coming from Bangladesh. The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), under the Ministry of Commerce, issued a notification and gave this information. According to this notification, now products like readymade garments, processed food, plastic products, wood furniture and dye will not be imported from every border or port of India.
now which ports will be imported?
Readmade Garments will now be able to come to India only through Nhawa Sheva (Mumbai) and Kolkata Cott. At the same time, Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, Mizoram, and Changrabandha and Phulbari border points of Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, Mizoram, and West Bengal have been completely closed for goods like baked goods, snacks, fruit-vegetable drinks, cotton yarn waste, PVC and dye."Text-Align: justify;"> Which items got exemption?
However, some objects are still out of this ban. Bangladeshi products like fish, LPG, edible oil and crushed stone can still come to India from all legitimate ports and land border. Also, these restrictions will not be implemented on transit goods going to Nepal and Bhutan via Bangladesh.
Why was the decision taken?
This step has not been taken suddenly. Recently, Bangladesh’s interim government chief Muhammad Yunus said during an event in China that seven northeastern states of India & ldquo; Landlocked & rdquo; And their access to the sea is possible only through Bangladesh.
He himself & ldquo; Guardian of the Indian Ocean & rdquo; Standing, China was also invited to send global shipments through Bangladesh. This statement found India very objectionable and its effect was clearly visible in this decision.
transit facility has already been taken away
Let me tell you, India had already withdrawn the transit facility provided to Bangladesh on 9 April 2025, under which Bangladesh used to export from other Indian ports including Delhi Airport to Middle East and Europe. Now this facility has been limited to Nepal and Bhutan only.
Impact on India’s industries
Indian Apparel Industry had been demanding from the government for a long time that special facilities being provided to Bangladesh should be reduced as it is a big competitor. The collision between the two countries in the textile sector is tight. The trade between India and Bangladesh reached $ 12.9 billion in fY 2023-24.
This is not just business, but also a diplomatic message
This decision is not just commercial, but also a clear diplomatic message that cooperation will be done with the same. In the coming time, it will be interesting to see in which direction the relations between India and Bangladesh move.
