RESOLUTION

TARIFFS

New Delhi, the 22nd September, 1949

No. 10-T(4)/49 —In their resolution No 3-T(l)/48, dated the 7th February 1948, issued by the Ministry of Commerce, the Government of India requested the Tariff Board to examine and recommend retention prices tor steel produced by the Tata Iron and Steel Company and the Steel Corporation of Bengal. In their resolution No. 3-T(l)/48, dated the 20th May 1949, issued by the Ministry of Commerce, (he Government of India announced their decisions on the report of the Tariff Board The Board has now conducted ft similar en- quiry as regards the Mysore Iron and Steel Works, Bhadravati, and has sub- mitted a report embodying in the main the following conclusions: —

(1) (a) The special features which distinguish the Mysore Works from T a t a 's and the Steel Corporation of Bengal, should be recognised, namely, marked lower rated capacity, maladjustment between equipment and fuel, for which changed circumstances rather than any defect in planning are responsible, unfavourable location involving difficulties of access to raw materials com- bined with their relatively high costs of transport, as in the case of fuel, or of purchase, as in the case of scrap, which has to be bought from outside; and

(b) this recognition entitles the Mysore Works to an exceptional, individual, rate of retention price of RS 331 per ton ex-works.

(2) This retention price should, as in the case of Tata's and the Steel Cor- poration of Bengal, remain in force until April 30, 1951

(3) The sale price should be uniform to consumers in all parts of India including within the State, (which has so far not been the case, the issue price within Mysore territory having been greater than outside), and including the acceding States,

(4) Steps should be taken to organise the supply to the Mysore Works of coal by the all-rail route which would entail saving in costs, and would bo translated into a reduction of Rs 25 per ton in the price of finished steel

(5) If there is a revision in the price of pig iron supplied to the Mysore Works as a result of ancillary proposals made by the Tariff Board, the level of the retention price would have to be adjusted correspondingly.

(1823)

2. The Government of India have accepted these teeoinmendutions. Im- plementation of recommendations 4 and 5, however, requires further examination arid when decisions have been reached on these questions, suitable adjustment in the retention price, if necessary, will be made.
