Engineering Export Promotion Council

Engineering Export Info-Bulletin, Vol. 8, Issue No. 33 3

My dear fellow exporters,

Your Council concluded its All India Annual Award Presentation Function on 10th Augustin Chennai. On this occasion, Shri Kamal Nath, Hon’ble Union Minister of Commerce &Industry presented the awards to 62 meritorious exporters from large, medium andsmall enterprises.

While delivering his keynote address at the function, Shri Kamal Nath, Hon’ble Union Ministerof Commerce & Industry noted that the engineering sector has emerged as the largestcontributor to India’s total merchandise exports, even ahead of gems & jewellery, withexports of engineering goods from India having crossed US$ 5 billion in the first quarter ofthe current financial year 2006-07, representing an increase of 20% over last year. It is amatter of great pride for us as we have worked together towards this goal. He also assuredus of providing a level playing field and acknowledged engineering sector as the mostpromising sector for future.

The Minister also called for rapid development of Engineering Process Outsourcing (EPO)services from India as it would have a far-reaching impact on the Indian engineering industryas a whole. He complimented EEPC for pioneering a study on EPO services, which involvedelegating engineering-related work to other companies taking advantage of low labour cost,quality, talent pool etc. which are abundantly available in India.

In my address I outlined about the target of US$ 23 billion engineering exports during 2006-07against the engineering exports of US$ 19.18 billion in 2005-06. I also highlighted the problemsfaced by engineering exporters such as service tax on inland haulage and terminal handlingcharges, 80 HHC, Fringe Benefit Tax, advancement of Implementation of GST etc. and assuredthe government of higher growth in exports of Indian engineering items if no taxes and dutiesto be exported and there is better inter-departmental coordination for smooth implementationof the provisions of the Foreign Trade Policy.

The function was also attended by Senior Officials from the Ministry of Commerce, leadingexporters from the Southern Region and other dignitaries.

Yours sincerely,

(RAKESH SHAH)
