Trade and Commerce
Parliament may by law impose restrictions on the freedom of trade, commerce, or intercourse between states (or within any part of India) as required in the public interest.
While trade must generally be free (Article 301), Parliament can still impose reasonable restrictions when genuinely needed in the public interest - this freedom isn't absolute, but any restriction on it must come from Parliament and be justified by real public-interest considerations.
Parliament could, for instance, restrict trade in a particular commodity if genuinely necessary for public health or safety reasons, without that restriction being seen as violating the general freedom of trade this Part guarantees.
