Industries like electronics, textiles, and automobile parts face this challenge, making local production costly. The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) has proposed sector-wise duty adjustments to resolve this issue and foster competitiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Proposals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Duty Rationalization<\/strong>: NITI Aayog suggests reducing duties on raw materials to nil-2.5%, intermediaries to 2.5-5%, and finished goods to 7.5-10%.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sectoral Focus<\/strong>: Critical industries like steel, aluminium, solar batteries, and polymers require rationalized rates to boost domestic output.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Free Trade Agreement Adjustments<\/strong>: Reviewing existing FTAs could mitigate duty discrepancies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Impacts on Manufacturing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Current customs rates often favor finished goods imports over raw materials, impacting local production. Rationalizing duties will:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Encourage domestic sourcing of inputs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduce manufacturing costs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enhance India\u2019s global trade presence, particularly in electronics, with a $500 billion target by 2030.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Challenges in Implementation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Experts note that not all duty structures perceived as inverted can be corrected. CBIC chairman Sanjay Kumar Agarwal highlights the need for a thorough evaluation of an item\u2019s value within finished goods to ensure practical duty adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The proposed overhaul in customs duty for FY26 aims to address longstanding trade issues, enhance India\u2019s manufacturing competitiveness, and align with global practices. With sector-specific consultations underway, the reforms hold potential to significantly boost India\u2019s industrial growth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A significant revision of customs duty on over 100 items is expected in the FY26 Budget.
