ISLAMABAD: Local tiles makers are facing complications and urged government to remove anomalies in Import Trade Price (ITP) for imported tiles to save local tiles industry.
“The tiles are being imported at low rates, while the ITPs have been decreased instead of increasing from 2010 to 2015. This situation has reached a point where it is playing havoc with the local industry,” a spokesman of Pakistan Ceramic Tiles Manufacturers Association (PCTMA) said on Sunday.
The spokesman said majority of the raw material necessary for the production of tiles was available in Pakistan which helps save precious foreign exchange and was providing jobs and business opportunities to over 10,000 people. The industry was not asking for undue favours but just logical implementation of correct valuation, he added.
