No. 2(4)T/B/49.—Protection to the phosphates and phosphoric acid indus- try, which was granted in April, 1947, was extended up to the end of March 1950. The Tariff Board has examined the question of continuance of protection to this industry and submitted its Report.
2. The Board's recommendations are as follows: —
(i) No serious effort has been made to increase production in order to meet the country's demand for these chemicals. Nor has any evidence been adduced to show that the industry will within a reasonable time, be able to augment its production and produce chemicals of the requisite quality. The main producer in India ceased manufacture in March 1949. The total v a l ue of the re- quirements of the country in respect of phosphoric acid and sodium phosphate is small and not likely to exceed Rs 3,50,000 per annum. In view of the above considerations, the existing protective duties should, with effect from 1st April, 1950 be re- placed by revenue duties at such rates as might bo considered appropriate by the Government.
8. Government accept these recommendations and steps will be taken to enable the indigenous industry to restart production is not justified.
8. Government accept these recommendations and steps will be taken to implement them,
