Reek of explosives in West Asia chokes exports of fragrant 'itra' perfumes from MP

BHOPAL: (Mar 20) The war in West Asia has hit hard the exporters of traditional 'itra' perfumes in Madhya Pradesh, with large orders getting cancelled and supply of glass bottles getting affected.


"The situation is bad, because the cancellation of export orders has led to accumulation of stocks. The demand is usually high in the holy month of Ramadan, but we are staring at a major loss this time," said Syed Mohammad Altmash Jalal of the House of Hairat Perfumes, speaking to PTI on Friday.
