Lead chamber ASSOCHAM has called for rationalization of duty structure to provide a level playing field for new generation iron and steel making technologies like COREX at par with conventional blast furnace technology.
It also sought changes in existing tariff heading 2705 to make generic words ‘similar words’ more explicit to remove doubts about their scope and susceptibility to misinterpretation which often leads to litigation.
Mr DS Rawat secretary general of ASSOCHAM said “Blast furnace gas and COREX gas are by products emerging in the process of manufacturing molten hot iron and are similar in composition, use and origin. Similarly LD and DRI gases are by products of steel melt shop and DRI process.”
Mr Rawat in communication to finance minister Mr Pranab Mukherjee said “The existing tariff description of coking coal should be substituted with metallurgical coal with zero per cent duty. Metallurgical coal should be defined as coal used in manufacturing coke, iron and steel using technologies like blast furnace, COREX in blast furnace or FINEX.”
He said “Not only coals of lower parameters are charged duty, the users are forced to comply with lengthy and costly procedures for testing of technical parameters and provisional assessment, making imports costly and uneconomical.”
