Public sector major National Aluminium Co Ltd seeks 15 per cent import duty on Aluminum coming from China in order to save the interest of domestic industry, facing tough situation under the impact of global slowdown and recession like conditions across the world. Government has also expressed concerns over increase in aluminium import in recent times from China.
NALCO's chairman, C. R. Pradhan, said, "They may fix it at 10 percent, 15 percent or they may fix it higher. A 10-15 percent duty at present scenario will protect the prices
(from falling)."
