Beleaguered by the spurt in demand for rakes for transportation of iron ore from the mines to the plants, the Directorate of Rail Movement has started insisting on the excise certificates from sponge iron and other units in support of their demand. The move is believed to be aimed at curbing inflated demand for rakes, allegedly placed by many sponge iron and other steel producing plants. The excise certificates would show the actual production on the basis of which the raw material requirement can be assessed and the actual demand for rakes clculated. The move, it is therefore felt, will help check the alleged malpractices.
