  2. How India's high import taxes are undermining Make in India For attempting to become a manufacturing powerhouse, the nation must first build a robust domestic manufacturing industry. Thus, experts agree that the best strategy to promote manufacturing is to lower the cost of essential raw materials. However, in India, hefty import taxes on products like steel, polymers, cotton, and aluminium, among others, makes it challenging for businesses to compete internationally. According to numerous analysts, the tariffs, which can range between 5% and 17%, are extremely harsh for the cash-strapped MSME sector. There has always been discussion over the appropriate level of tariff to impose, which industries need it, and the consequence of such actions. The issues with such rates are outlined by VK Agarwal, MD of Shashi Cables, a producer of aluminium conductors used for energy transmission. Know about India Export Products.

  3. Take the case of a base metal like aluminium, where India is a strong player due to the country's abundant bauxite and coal deposits, which are needed to produce the metal. India is able to provide aluminium at the lowest cost in the world thanks to this. "Even though India has an abundance of natural resources, the primary producers of aluminium charge us more. There is no defence for that, he claims.

  4. Further Notification by Official The London Metal Exchange (LME) sets the price of aluminium, and Indian prices fluctuate daily in accordance with LME prices. Prices increased from $2,200 per tonne to $3,700 per tonne over the last three months. Indian manufacturers who require aluminium examine the price difference between the metal's domestic and import costs. The landed price will increase if LME prices increase. Therefore, if prices increase by $200, a tonne will cost ₹ 16,000 more. However, imported aluminium may hypothetically become more affordable for local purchasers if the LME price decreases. Further, Agarwal clarifies that may not be the case though. "They must export at the LME benchmark if they do so. However, even when they sell it to us, they figure out the price by multiplying the price by the duty in dollars. Even though it has nothing to do with customs duty because it only applies to imported goods, they nevertheless do it. They counter that we would have paid this amount if we had imported the metal," he argues.

  5. According to Agarwal, the purpose of import duties is to generate income and protect indigenous industries. Importing aluminium is difficult ever necessary, thus there is no impact on revenue. Taxing aluminium puts a strain on the government and the populace. No justification exists for performing any obligation. Additionally, import costs increase as the rupee depreciates against the dollar. Therefore, the recent depreciation of the rupee has only made matters worse for businesses who import products.​Even though in May of this year the government abolished customs duties on the import of some raw materials, including coking coal and ferronickel, much more needs to be done to make Indian steel and steel products competitive on the global market. Seair Exim Solutions provides the best Import and Export in IndiaData, exporter Importer data and much more.
