Is india heading towards trade protectionism: an analysis of carotar rules?

Abstract: With the announcement of Self-Reliant India Mission, the Government of India has announced several policy measures to promote domestic manufacturing to make India, as a hub of global manufacturing One of its major policy measures is the introduction of Customs (Administration of Rules of Origin under Trade Agreements) Rules, 2020 (CAROTAR Rules) The objective of these rules is to regulate frivolous imports of the third country, which is routing to the Indian market via its FTA partners These rules have created ‘lots of hues and cry’ among importing and exporting firms due to their regulatory, operational and business implications This article examines key provisions of CAROTAR rules and their implications to India’s foreign trade sector in general and exporting and importing firms in particular Findings show that CAROTAR rules are highly protective and regressive in nature and designed to safeguard the domestic manufacturing industry The intent and content of these rules clearly demonstrate that importing firms are subject to strict regulatory compliance to claim preferential benefit under India’s existing trade agreements New rules will increase the cost of importing inputs and components thereby affecting India’s trade competitiveness Keywords: CAROTAR rules, free trade agreements trade protectionism, customs, imports, global value chains

A process for recovery of high purity uranium from fertilizer grade weak phosphoric acid

Abstract: A two-cycle countercurrent extraction process for recovery of highly pure uranium from fertilizer grade weak phosphoric acid. The proposed process uses selective extraction using di-(2-ethyl hexyl) phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) and tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) with refined kerosene as synergistic extractant system on hydrogen peroxide treated phosphoric acid, and stripping the loaded extract with strong phosphoric acid containing metallic iron to lower redox potential. The loaded-stripped acid is diluted with water back to weak phosphoric acid state and its redox potential raised by adding hydrogen peroxide and re-extracted with same extractant system. This extract is first scrubbed with sulfuric acid and then stripped with alkali carbonate separating iron as a precipitate, treated with sodium hydroxide precipitating sodium uranate, which is re-dissolved in sulfuric acid and converted with hydrogen peroxide to highly pure yellow cake of uranium peroxide.

Revamping the pharmacokinetics of poorly soluble drugs using different formulations

Abstract: The exhaustive efforts commenced in the field of drug discovery. High-throughput screening in the drug discovery cycle leads to the generation of high-molecular-weight lipophilic molecules, which results in low bioavailability on account of poor pharmacokinetic (PK) profile. Recent reports say that about 40% of the newly discovered molecule belongs to the biopharmaceutical classification system (BCS) class II and BCS class IV. This chapter presents various techniques to improve the PK profile of existing drug molecules, especially those of hydrophobic nature, to enhance their solubility. Methods such as nanocrystals, cocrystals, amorphous solid dispersion, eutectic mixtures, freeze-drying, and salt formation have been discussed vide underlying literature citing the mechanisms involved in the improvement of PK by each method.
