Article Abstract:
The Investment Information & Credit Rating Agency, which has analysed the impact of the Union Budget for 1999-2000 on the petrochemical sector, says that excise duties for basic petrochemicals has been reduced from 10 percent to 8 percent. The domestic petrochemical industries will get a significant amount of protection as customs duties on basic petrochemicals, polymers and downstream petrochemicals have been increased in the range of 6.5 percent to 13.5 percent. The prices of most of the products are expected to increase as petrochemical products are priced on the basis of landed costs. (khr)
