India Bans All Imports From Pakistan

India has officially banned all imports from Pakistan, effective immediately, in response to the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which resulted in the deaths of 26 tourists. The Indian government cites national security and public policy concerns as the rationale behind this decision. The ban encompasses both direct and indirect imports, including goods transiting through third countries, and has been formalized through an amendment to the Foreign Trade Policy 2023 by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) .
