Benzo Chem Industries has requested the
Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals for issuing import permit for sodium
cyanide for non-insecticidal purpose.
In a letter to the DCPC, the firm said it is a manufacturer of bulk drugs and
pharmaceutical intermediates and sodium cyanide is one of the basic raw
material.
?At present we are buying sodium cyanide locally from Cyanides & Chemicals,
Surat and Gujarat Alkalies & Chemicals, Baroda and we also use to import sodium
cyanide against advance licence. We are getting better price for import of
sodium cyanide compared to local price,? it said.
Benzo Chem had received the NOC from Central Insecticide Board & Registration
Committee and against it, the company has already cleared the quantity of 94.5
MT of sodium cyanide and for the balance quantity of 48 MT, goods will be
shipped before August 31.
?To complete our further export as well as local order, we have to import 150 MT
of sodium cyanide throughout the year,? it said.
?So we hereby request you to issue your NOC accordingly,? the company said in
its letter.
