₹350 cr daily loss in Tobacco industry: Assocham
The tobacco industry is facing losses worth ₹350 crore each day as cigarette makers have been forced to shut operations due to lack of clarity on proposed graphic health warnings on tobacco items, industry body Assocham said on Tuesday. This has opened floodgates in terms of illegal imports, threatening livelihoods of 45 million people engaged in the industry, it added.
