India bans import of goods made with forced labour

India has amended its foreign trade policy to prohibit the import of goods produced using forced labour. This decision is significant as it aligns with global efforts to combat human rights abuses in supply chains, particularly in light of ongoing investigations by the US. The policy will take effect 30 days after its publication in the official gazette, allowing the government to target specific goods based on evidence of forced labour, enhancing India's commitment to ethical trade practices.
