Cheap Chinese imports giving threat to Indian tyre industry

According to the Chairman of Rubber Board, Sheila Thomas, rubber industry of India is facing a threat due to cheap import of products from China, adding that the country could easily overcome this problem since the quality of products manufactured in India are superior as compared to other countries.  She was speaking at a prize giving ceremony for rubber growers in Agartala. 

"China is mostly cheaper goods, how they produce it we don't know, especially non-tyre, but tyre also. Tyre people are also facing threat from cheaper imports from China. But, then we can, through our competence and government has some measures to help them out, so I am sure they can. Quality-wise we are superior to everyone in the world I think, that's why all the tyre majors are coming to India now to put up their plants," said Thomas. Automobile News
