Desi companies also hit by defence canteens’ ban on imports - Times of India

NEW DELHI: Not only foreign biggies, but several indigenous companies too, including Dabur, VIP, Milton and Bajaj Electricals, have found themselves in the firing line, as the government-controlled Canteen Stores Department (CSD) has decided to ban 422 directly imported items from military canteens in an effort to support PM Narendra Modi’s ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan’ that has been launched to promote domestic manufacturing.
In the case of homegrown FMCG major Dabur, for instance, CSD has banned Real branded juices that are being imported from Nepal and Sri Lanka.
For Bajaj Electricals, CSD has banned items ranging from chimneys and sandwich toasters to OTGs and gas geysers that are being shipped from China in finished form.

Luggage maker VIP Industries, too, couldn’t evade the flak as the CSD has banned a long list of products from Bangladesh.
