印度将白金进口关税提高一倍，提高柴油 SUV 和混合动力车的成本
此举旨在限制进口和节省外汇，但可能会增加汽车制造商和供应商的合规成本、营运资金压力和供应链费用。
来源:The Hindu Business Line _经济Industry estimates suggest price hikes of ₹2,500–4,000 for entry-level cars, ₹8,000–12,000 for mid-size diesel SUVs, and ₹12,000–18,000 for strong hybrids if costs are passed on.
India’s decision to more than double the import duty on platinum is expected to raise the cost of emission-control systems used in cleaner internal combustion vehicles, with the biggest impact likely on diesel SUVs and strong hybrid cars that use higher quantities of the metal in their catalytic converters. Industry observers estimate that if automakers pass on the higher costs, mid-size diesel SUVs could see price increases of ₹8,000–12,000, while strong hybrid models may cost ₹12,000–18,000 more.
India’s decision to more than double the effective import duty on platinum to 15.4 per cent from 6.4 per cent is set to ripple through the automotive supply chain, raising the cost of cleaner internal combustion vehicles and putting the heaviest pressure on diesel trucks, SUVs and strong hybrids that use larger quantities of the precious metal in their catalytic converters.
Industry observers estimate the impact could translate into showroom price increases of about ₹2,500–4,000 for entry-level petrol cars, ₹8,000–12,000 for mid-size diesel SUVs, and ₹12,000–18,000 for strong hybrid models as automakers pass on higher emission-compliance costs.
The duty hike, part of a broader increase in taxes on precious metals aimed at curbing non-essential imports and conserving foreign exchange amid the ongoing West Asia crisis, affects a metal that is critical to catalytic converters used to meet BS-VI emission standards.
Industry estimates suggest entry-level petrol cars typically use about 2–4 grams of platinum-group metals in their emission-control systems, compared with 6–10 grams in mid-size diesel SUVs, 10–15 grams in strong hybrids and 20 grams or more in heavy commercial vehicles.
