<h1>Government Extends De-Oiled Rice Bran Export Ban to 2025; Revises Jewellery Export Norms to Control Precious Metal Use</h1> The government has extended the export ban on de-oiled rice bran until September 30, 2025, to increase domestic availability and control rising milk prices. De-oiled rice bran is crucial for cattle and poultry feed, and its export was initially banned in July 2023. Separately, the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has revised the wastage permissible and standard input-output norms for the export of jewellery and articles. These norms regulate the amount of precious metals lost during manufacturing, ensuring duty-free imported metals are not diverted to the domestic market.
