All India Rubber Industries Association (AIRIA)
in its pre-budget submission to the Ministry of Finance has stated that
finished products can easily be imported as import duty on rubber products is
in the range of 0 to 10%, while the duty on raw materials for the rubber
industry is between 5% and 70%. Not only the import duty on raw materials is
higher, the duty is levied even on those raw materials which are not produced
in the country. Quoting Capexil data, AIRIA has stated that the import duty on
raw materials is the highest in India when compared to the neighbouring rubber
products manufacturing countries. Rubber industry hopes on correction of
inverted duty structure in the coming Union Budget.
Malaysian government announced that rubber
tappers throughout the country would receive the RM500 subsidy.
