According to market players, the continuation of concessionary duties on raw material import for motorcycle manufacturers into fiscal 2019-20 would help the fast-growing sector. Furthermore, Finance Minister AHM Mustafa Kamal added three new raw materials into the list for concessionary duty, which has been around since fiscal 2017-18. “This is great news for the automobile sector,” said Hafizur Rahman Khan, Chairman of Runner Automobiles, one of the leading motorcycle manufacturers. He, however, called for a long-term policy for the sector, as the constant change in rules leaves investors in a state of confusion and scares off potential ones.
