Khodrocar - Determining the price of domestic raw materials based on the
Persian Gulf FOB, which is a law approved by the Islamic Consultative
Assembly, these days and simultaneously with fluctuations in the price
of the dollar, or in other words, the devaluation of the national
currency has become the main challenge for the automotive industry. The
field, especially the component makers, are calling for reforms in this
regard.
This situation is while steelmakers as the main supplier
of raw materials to the automotive industry believe that the price
increase created in this area is more by miners and with the aim of
development measures, and now that the issue of price reform has been
raised, it is better that any action In this regard, it should be done
in accordance with the interests of both parties.
"Currently, the
calculated price coefficients are even higher than the factory door
price to reach the cost of FOB, because the FOB price has a lower
percentage of customs deficit, loading, unloading and transportation, so
the current price is higher. It is sold at a phobic price.” Reza
Shahrestani, member of the board of steel producers union told khodrocar
reporter.
"Each percentage increase in price adds at least 5
percent to the cost price, which will vary from material to material,
making prices even more staggering.” He said.
"The current
excuse of mining producers to increase the price of products is that
there is no capital available for the development of mines, so it is
necessary to increase prices with the aim of making new investments.
Lack of resources and liquidity, how they set up a steel plant.” He
added.
"Instead of setting up a new plant, this capital should
have been spent on developing the mines, but by doing so, they have
imposed their overhead costs on the steel companies, while we are all
members of the same family and should complete the chain where There is a
vacuum to invest.” He said.
