The government on Tuesday extended duty-free import of yellow peas, used as substitute of chana, for two more months till the end of February, with the aim to curb prices of the key pulses variety.
In December last year, the government had allowed the duty-free import of yellow peas while an import duty of 50% was imposed on the pulses variety in 2017 to encourage domestic production.
