The Indian Council for Leather Exports (CLE) has asked the government to reduce import duty on basic chromium sulphate from 28% to 5% as well as reducing the import duty on sodium di-chromate by the same amount and imposing export duty on chrome ore.

According to the council, this will help tanners overcome the high price of tanning salt, which risen sharply in price over the last two months.
