The domestic ship-breaking industry s revenue is expected to see a 10 per cent year-on-year increase this fiscal due to improved availability of condemned vessels and higher rates for steel scrap, ratings agency Crisil said on Monday.
Further, with India enacting the Recycling of Ships Act, 2019, and joining the Hong Kong International Convention (HKC), which sets the standards for ship recycling the move has bolstered the country s leadership position globally, it said.
