Tiles find wide-ranging applications in the construction sector.  They are used for covering floors, roofs, walls, and table tops of buildings.  The function of such tiles varies from providing protection and durability to enhance the aesthetic appeal of walls and buildings.  Tiles are made using various materials such as stone, metal, ceramic, and glass.  Tiles made from ceramic materials are referred to as ceramic tiles and find extensive applications in the construction business.  Based on application, ceramic tiles can be classified into floor tiles, wall tiles, industrial tiles, and vitrified or porcelain tiles.  Ceramic tiles are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, durable, they show consistency in color and easy to maintain.  These properties make them a much preferred option for use in the construction industry, which is driving the India ceramic tiles market.  Moreover, ceramic tiles are used to decorate homes.  ...

China has introduced unofficial restrictions on coal imports in a bid to prop up domestic prices by slowing down customs approvals at key ports, in a move that threatens to disrupt a year of stronger-than-expected Chinese demand for Australian thermal coal. Traders on Wednesday confirmed reports that dozens of vessels had been turned away in recent months, or were waiting off China’s coast to offload imported thermal coal shipments, after quotas were quietly introduced at some of the country’s biggest ports to boost domestic demand. They said the latest restrictions, designed to encourage local power stations to buy more domestic coal, went a step further than last year when there was a customs slowdown and kerbs on imports at some tier two ports, which were later lifted. The latest move is believed to be a general quota imposed on China’s larger ports directly controlled by the central government. Traders and Australian miners contacted by The Australian Financial Review co...

MANILA, Philippines — The competitiveness of the domestic food processing industry may be threatened if the government will not allow the special importation of 100,000 metric tons of sugar following the high prices of the local commodity. The Philippine Food Processors and Exporters Confederation (Philfoodex) is urging the the Sugar Regulatory Administration to allow the special importation of 100,000 metric tons of sugar amid soaring prices of the commodity. In an interview with The STAR, Philfoodex president Bobby Amores said the competitiveness of the domestic food processing industry could be threatened if the government would not allow the special importation of sugar. Philfoodex made this request even as the SRA earlier this week issued guidelines on the importation of 150,000 MT for end-users of sugar or sugar-using industries provided they are SRA-registered international sugar traders. “The worst case scenario is that domestic processors will never be competitiv...

Indian rupee ended at a record closing low of 73.34 per dollar on Wednesday on the back of strong demand for US dollar from importers amid rising global oil prices. It has touched a record low of 73.41 in the morning trade, while it saw some recovery during the day after it opened lower at 73.24 against Monday's close of 72.91 per dollar. According to IFA Global currency report, higher crude prices would continue to weigh on domestic bonds and the rupee. The next domestic trigger would be the tone of the RBI policy on Friday. "Sharp volatility in the domestic equities and steep FIIs outflows from equity and debt segments keeping sentiments bearish for the rupee. The dollar index is hovering around multi-months high as the Federal Reserve continues to raise interest rates aggressively,"he added.

The Prime Minister’s Office is reportedly considering raising the import duty on mobile phones to shield local phone makers in the goods and services tax (GST) regime. This would violate India’s commitment to waive import duty on IT products.  The best way to encourage genuine Indian manufacture of high-value electronics is to refund a multiple, a tad higher than one, of the GST paid by the local phone maker, not raise tariff walls. Imported phones now attract a 12.5% countervailing duty, supposedly to offset the excise duty, but the actual excise duty levied is just 1% if the vendor claims no credit on the central value-added tax. This effectively offers alocal entrepreneur who imports the phone components protection of 11.5%. The department of telecom has apparently proposed levying a basic customs duty — a levy that will not be subsumed under GST — on imported phones to protect domestic phone makers. The tax arbitrage will vanish with GST, as countervailing duti...

PUNE : Onion exporters see shipments increasing by about 15per cent from a year ago with prices turning competitive in the international market on the back of a government incentive scheme and potential of good domestic production. After the government extended the Merchandise Export from India Scheme (MEIS) to onion growers, the freight-on-board (FOB) price of the Indian variety declined to $195/tonne (from $220 per tonne earlier), giving competition to the produce from China, where a good crop is seeing producers take advantage of high prices in neighbouring nations. “MEIS has made Indian onion prices competitive with that of China, thus increasing India’s export volumes in markets of far eastern countries,” said Ajit Shah, president, Onion Exporters’ Association. MEIS has been extended to onion growers from July 13, 2018 up to January 2019. Shah also said the area and condition of the kharif crop has been reported to be overall normal across the country. “Arrival ...

India's onion export rose by 56 per cent to 12.29 lakh tonnes in April-July this year, but the country has now gone in for import of the kitchen staple as retail prices have shot up to Rs 65-70 per kg because of tight supplies. In value terms too, the onion export increased by 47.69 per cent to Rs 1,443.09 crore in the period under review, from Rs 977.84 crore a year ago, it said. Last week, the government allowed state-owned agencies like MMTC to import onion from countries like Egypt and China to increase availability and cool retail prices that have skyrocketed to Rs 65-70 a kg level in many parts of the country. According to data maintained by the Directorate General of Commercial Intelligence and Statistics (DGCIS), the country has exported 12.29 lakh tonnes of onion during April-July of 2017-18, up 56 per cent from 7.88 lakh tonnes in the year-ago period. "Exports increased during April-July because of two reasons: firstly, there was no minimum e...
