“Export of Stone Aggregates to the Republic of Maldives is being permitted subject to the conditions and quantity ceiling…,” Director General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) said in a notification.
Construction aggregate is a broad category of coarse particulate material used in construction, including sand, gravel, crushed stone, slag, recycled concrete and geo-synthetic aggregates. Aggregates are the most mined materials in the world.
Aggregates are a component of composite materials such as concrete and asphalt concrete; the aggregate serves as reinforcement to add strength to the overall composite material.
Earlier, the export of stones aggregates to Maldives was restricted by the government. (KNN Bureau)
