The official noted that import restrictions on 'New Pneumatic Tyres' have been eased for a few global players keen on importing some tyres from their factories overseas into India, PTI noted.
Imports have been permitted for a short while by the DPIIT, basis the concerned firm's agreement to invest and establish or further augment manufacturing facilities in India for the products in question for a specified time period, PTI noted.
Other applications from global tyremakers are also being considered in this initiative, PTI noted.
