<h1>Stakeholders urge tariff and GST cuts on aluminium scrap to boost recycling, reduce emissions and aid MSME liquidity</h1> Industry stakeholders report that recycled aluminium supplies about 40% of national demand and argue that imports of scrap remain essential until domestic end-of-life collection grows. The statement emphasizes substantial energy and emissions advantages of secondary production versus primary smelting and urges regulatory changes: eliminate import duty on aluminium scrap, cut GST from 18% to 5% or 0%, and simplify TDS-on-GST rules to ease liquidity for recyclers and MSMEs. The proposals implicate trade and tax policy, environmental and industrial regulation, and formalisation of small recyclers, potentially affecting competitiveness, emissions targets and revenue considerations.
