Within the pages of this booklet, policies related to India’s Strategic Trade Controls i.e the export of sensitive items falling under the SCOMET (Special Chemicals, Organisms, Materials, Equipment, and Technologies) category are simplified. In addition to exploring India’s stringent controls, this booklet sheds light on the nation’s forwardlooking approach through liberalized policies, such as General Authorizations for certain SCOMET items. This booklet will serve as a valuable resource for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners alike. Understanding India’s Strategic Trade Controls is not merely an academic exercise but a crucial step toward fostering transparency, building trust, and collectively addressing the challenges posed by global trade in sensitive goods and technologies.
