New Delhi: The government on Thursday banned imports of air conditioners with refrigerants with a view to promote domestic manufacturing and cut imports of non-essential items.

“Import policy of air conditioners with refrigerants …is amended from free to prohibited,” Directorate General of Foreign Trade said in a notification.

The government is taking steps to promote domestic manufacturing and reduce the import bill of non-essential goods.

In June, the government imposed curbs on imports of certain new pneumatic tyres used in motor cars, busses, lorries and motorcycles.
