<h1>Foreign Trade Policy norms require imported inputs for making 1 kg titanium dioxide rutile match specified input quantities and proportions</h1> Standard input-output norms under the Foreign Trade Policy specify that producing 1 kg of titanium dioxide (rutile) requires defined quantities of inputs-e.g., synthetic rutile ~1.20 kg, caustic soda lye 0.164 kg, sodium silicate 0.077 kg, aluminium chloride 0.022 kg, sodium aluminate 0.023 kg, and smaller amounts of various reagents-subject to a suspension notice. The norms determine permissible input proportions for manufacturing resultant products, and applicants must ensure that imported goods correspond to inputs actually used or required in the export product.
