  PK Ghose's hopes for Budget 2004-05  
  • The Pricing Policy with regard to Di Ammonium Phosphate (DAP) fertilisers needs to be modified appropriately and periodically taking into consideration the actual present cost of raw materials and freight rates. An anti dumping / safeguard duty also needs to be imposed on imported DAP so as to prevent dumping of stocks in India.

  • Also, as a step towards reducing subsidy on fertilisers, cost of inputs and manufacture need to be reduced. This can be achieved by granting duty exemptions on plant, machinery and equipment for all new and expansion facilities proposed to be set up, including LNG units since these supply LNG to critical industries of power and fertilisers.
