On what prompted Indian government to act against this aniline chemical import from China, Bhutani said, "Actually, this was mainly demanded by the local players, especially the Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers & Chemicals (GNFC). They had demanded from the Narendra Modi Government to impose import duty on aniline chemical imports from China as the imported product was damaging the business prospects of the domestic players."
The move is expected to give fresh push to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Vocal for Local' drive.
