IIF seeks to revoke import duty on key raw materials
With steep hike in raw material costs, foundries which produce metal castings are either forced to curtail or shut production, as they are unable to meet the rising cost pressures. Costlier raw materials and other input materials has pushed up production cost at foundries by at least 25% over the past two months. With fading margins and shrinking working capital, foundries across India are forced to temporarily shut down production for at least a fortnight or more, according to the Institute of Indian Foundrymen (IIF) – a pan India association for the foundry fraternity. Making matters worse, foundries are unable to cash-in on fresh order volumes due to supply-side bottlenecks triggered by uncertain supply and rising cost of raw material. This is making foundry operations unviable and a lot of small units are on the verge of closure, according to IIF.
