Referring to the impact of the Russian war in Ukraine on the newspaper industry in India, BJP MP Sushil Kumar Modi on Tuesday urged the central government to step in and revive the sector by scrapping import duty on newsprint, and also introduce a scheme to incentivise domestic production, according to the Hindustan Times.
Newslaundry had reported how the newspaper industry in India had been staring at a crisis due to a shortage of newsprint – triggered by global events and dry domestic manufacturing.
