The re imposition of 2.5% import duty will be a big blow to scrap users in India. It will also create a serious disruption in the supply chain as the traders or users whose cargoes are already contracted or on high seas would have to bear this extra burden, when the markets for finished goods are already under severe pressure due to sluggish demand
