Import duty changes to boost Make in India: GTRI

The Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) has stated that the recent import duty changes proposed in the Union Budget 2023-24 would help promote the Make in India initiative of the government. Import duty was hiked on a number of goods including silver bars and dore bars, styrene, vinyl chloride, naphtha, gold jewellery, small cars, bicycles, and toys. As per GTRI estimates, customs duty changes would affect products that count for less than USD 14 billion or two per cent of the value in India’s current import basket.
