Director General of Foreign Trade has issued a notification extending the date of sale and export of red sanders wood by Andhra Pradesh by six months.

While granting extension for six months up to April 30, 2015, the notification mentioned that it is subject to such orders as passed by Madras High Court or such submissions as made there in a petition or as per orders by the Court.

In view of the DGFT order, it is being requested to amend the notification issued on Tuesday, duly removing the conditionality of Madras High Court case, as AP feels that the court order is not relevant to this sale.

The AP Forest Department is set to notify fresh schedule of dates for conduct of e-tender-cum-e-auction for selling 4160 MTs. shortly.
