Don't boycott China, say MSMEs! Input cost will shoot 40% -Nirbhay Kumar

-Business Today

MSMEs don't want the government to impose tariffs that will make buying raw materials from China difficult - all other countries sell lot more expensive

* Higher tariff on key raw materials from China will raise input cost by 10-40% for MSMEs

* Industry bodies want the government to chart out long-term plan for gradual import substitution

* Ad-hoc measures like raising tariff and putting trade barriers could end up hurting local industry more than China

* Trade experts say that the best way to respond would be to make the economy stronger
