Telangana bans paraquat for 60 days
Change
Telangana banned sale, stocking, distribution, manufacture and use of paraquat and its derivatives statewide for 60 days, effective immediately from March 31, 2026.
Why it matters
The directive creates a binding prohibition on the chemical's commercial and on-farm circulation, forcing operators to stop relying on paraquat for weed control during the ban. Enforcement and supply‑chain actors will face heightened compliance duties to prevent illicit sales and manage existing inventories across the state.
Implications
- • Agrochemical manufacturers supplying paraquat must halt shipments and suspend production destined for Telangana immediately.
- • Authorized agrochemical distributors and retail stockists in Telangana must remove paraquat products from sale and cease stocking them for the duration of the ban.
