The sector has to resort to importing of natural rubber as the quality produced
in the country is not "up to the mark" and the tyre manufacturers buy the bulk
of domestically-produced high-quality supplies, leaving no choice for the
MSMEs and the other rubber goods producers than to go for imports for good
quality raw materials from foreign players.
"In line with the Centre's vision to make a self-reliant India, the nation has
tremendous potential to grow and could become a hub for sourcing rubber
components and products if the inverted duty structure in the rubber sector is
corrected," said Mr Singh.

Natural rubber is a major raw material for the automobile industry (and is used to
make everything) from tyres to engine parts. Natural rubber is imported from
countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam etc. Given the import dependence of
the industry for raw materials, we are susceptible to the dollar rupee exchange
rate, logistics and other problems. Post Covid, like other SMEs, we are facing
problems of credit, liquidity and competitive rates. For natural rubber, the
government has an import duty of 25 per cent to protect the farmers but this has
added to our problems.
