Need to see why industry seek high duties despite significant tariff cuts: DPIIT Secretary

12 Dec 2024 Evaluate

Secretary in the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) Amardeep Singh Bhatia has said that India has reduced its tariffs significantly over the years, bringing them down to the world average level, yet the domestic industries continue to suggest increasing the duties. He said it needs to be examined why such requests come.

Talking on the export market side and integration with the (global) supply chains, the Secretary said there is also a lot of work which has been done in terms of reduction in tariff, the weighted tariff has come down substantially and it is almost at the world average level. He said ‘but of course, there are pressures that it should be increased by the domestic industry, which we need to look at why these requests keep coming up. Why are we not competitive enough. India has also free trade agreements with different countries to push exports.’ 

He noted that cut in customs duties on raw materials help boost domestic manufacturing, create jobs and push exports. Tariffs have been reduced in different sectors such as electronics, precious metals and chemicals. He added that the Viksit Bharat 2047 targets would lead to enhanced investments in the private sector such as clean energy. The government has taken a series of measures to promote ease of doing business in the country. A lot has been done in the industrial infrastructure space. There are more than 4,000 industrial parks in the country.
