eration of Indian Export Organisa-tions (FIEO) while commenting onthe Monetary Policy Review todaystated that a status quo in policyrates was as anticipatedwith somereduction in SLR to inject liquiditybesides the OMO operations.

FIEO Chief stated that IIP hadshown encouraging double digitgrowths, credit offtake was ahealthy 22% although inflation isstill not in the “ comfort zone.”

Mr Sakthivel cautioned thatgiven the liquidity crunch / deficitof Rs. 1 trillion a day for the pastfew weeks, outflow of Rs. 45,000– 50,000 crores in advance tax,and a poor deposit to credit ratiothere may be an upward pressureon BPLR and consequently inter-est rates for the export sectorwhich now stand deregulatedwould be under pressure.

President, FIEO stated that the Ministry of Commerce has as-sured FIEO that it would be moni-toring the “hot money” inflows

which have touched $ 39 billion tillNovember 2010 as against$17.45billion in 2009 and as suchwould ensure the “fine balance”between the requirements of cur-rent account deficit and infrastruc-ture financing on the one hand andexports from the MSME sector onthe other so that the interests ofthe millions of marginal workforceemployed in the labour intensivesectors of textiles/leather/handi-crafts/carpets is not compro-mised in the circumstances.

US holding on to shrimp exporters’bond money, despite WTO ruling

NEW DELHI, Dec 19FOLLOWING a World Trade

Organisation (WTO) rulingfavouring India, the Union govern-ment has asked the US to returnshrimp exporters’ money whichhave been locked up in Customsbonds.

The US had imposed ananti-dumping duty of 10.17 percent on Indian shrimps in 2005and asked its importers to provideenhanced Customs bonds worththe duty amount for importsduring the last 12 months.

When the US shrimp import-ers refused to furnish thesebonds, the exporters had toshoulder the cost to keepshipments going.

Following the WTO ruling, theUS stopped asking for the bonds,but did not release funds collectedfrom 2004 to 2008.

“As much as $ 30 million ofour shrimp exporters’ money have

Not only is this money locked upin bonds, but exporters also have

to pay a fee of 3 per cent per annum‘

been blocked because of non-re-lease of old bonds which isgrossly unfair,” a CommerceDepartment official pointed out.

The Customs bonds are, es-sentially, a cash guarantee toensure that the importer will payall Customs duties and leviescharged by the authority.

In its complaint at the WTO in2008, India had argued thatthe requirement of enhancedCustoms bonds was not consis-tent with the rules.

The following year, the WTOruled in favour of India and directedthe US Customs and BorderProtection (CBP) to do away withthe enhanced bond requirement.The anti-dumping duty, too, was

brought down to below 1 per centbefore raising it marginally to alittle over 2 per cent earlier thisyear.

“A large amount of ourcapital is locked in those bondsand it affects all our exporters,especially the smaller ones,”pointed out Mr M. K. RamMohan, Deputy Director, Market-ing, Marine Products ExportDevelopment Authority

(MPEDA). “Not only is thismoney locked up in bonds, butexporters also have to pay a feeof 3 per cent per annum.”

Shrimp exports to the US fellby a third to Rs 611 crore fromRs 900 crore before the dumpingduties and bond requirementswere imposed in 2004, accordingto estimates.

India does not want to rake upthe issue with the WTO andprefers to sort it out bilaterally.

The US court for internationaltrade’s recent judgment againstfurnishing of enhanced Customsbonds has given addedconfidence to India. Rains may Prune Cotton Estimate

NEW DELHI, Dec 19The cotton yield may fall

below the earlier estimatebecause of unseasonal rainfall inthe main producing regions, atextile mills group said.

Output in the year started onOctober 1 may be 29.5 million

bales to 30 million balesof 170 kg each, comparedwith 32.5 million balesestimated by the Cotton AdvisoryBoard, said Mr D. K. Nair,Secretary-General of theConfederation of IndianTextilesIndustry (CITI).

Brief NewsBrief NewsBrief NewsBrief NewsBrief NewsBrief NewsBrief NewsBrief NewsBrief NewsBrief NewsEUROPE

October IIP rebounds to 10.8 pcINDUSTRIAL growth started the third quarter of the current fiscal on a

robust note by bouncing back into double digits to 10.8 per cent in October2010. The rebound is primarily on the back of an increase in manufacturing,particularly of consumer durables—cars, two-wheelers and televisionsets—thanks to increased demand during the festival season. In comingmonths, the growth rate could be lower than the same months last year,because of a base-level effect, despite the purchasing manager’s index (PMI)suggesting a good industrial performance in November 2010.

During the month under review, mining sector expanded by 6.5 per cent(9.1 per cent), manufacturing sector by 11.3 per cent (10.8 per cent) andelectricity generation by 8.8 per cent (4.0 per cent).

The rebound came after the IIP growth had moderated to single digit—thefastest pace in three months—at 6.9 per cent, in August 2010 and furtherdecelerated to 4.4 per cent in September 2010.

Production of consumer durables was up by 31 per cent in the month,though output of consumer non-durables remained flat as against the year-agoperiod. Capital goods output rose by 22 per cent, led by close to 40 per centgrowth in transport equipment and parts. Basic and intermediate goods grewat 7.7 per cent and 9.5 per cent, respectively, during the month under review.

The average industrial growth for the fiscal 2011 could be in single digit, asthe three-month moving average (Aug-Oct) has trended lower to 7.4 per centfrom the corresponding three-month moving average of 15.8 per cent forFeb-April 2010.

During the first seven months of the current fiscal, mining sector recordeda growth rate of 8.3 per cent (8.1 per cent in 2009-10), manufacturing that of11.0 per cent (6.8 per cent) and electricity generation by 4.6 per cent (6.3 percent).

The IIP numbers pushed the country’s benchmark stock index, the Sensex,up by 267 points.

Food inflation rises againto touch 8.69 pc

Food inflation increased marginally for the week ended November 27, 2010,after declining for nine consecutive weeks, because of an increase in pricesthat neutralised the favourable base effect. This rise underscores the stickinessin food prices, which are not dropping sharply despite the arrival of winter crop.

Food prices were up by 8.69 per cent for the week from a year ago, amarginal increase from 8.60 per cent for the previous week. The index for foodarticles rose by 0.5 per cent during the week, the third consecutive week ofincrease.

Since the beginning of November, the index for food articles has risen by0.89 per cent; but the year-on-year inflation has dropped from 12.3 per cent to8.7 per cent over this period because of a faster rise in index at this time lastyear.

The inflation figure for October 2010 was 8.6 per cent, much higher thanthe comfort level, as viewed by the RBI. The monetary policy review, due onDecember 16, 2010, will take into account the headline inflation numbers forNovember 2010.

Broadband: Rs 40,000-cr.investment required

The country will require investments of Rs 40,000 crore to buildinfrastructure to provide 214 million broadband connections by 2014 thatcan reach a base of over 700 million people.

While India has over 600 million cell phone connections and close to 500million active mobile phone users with 60 per cent penetration, the countryhas a mere 10 million broadband customers.

The broadband market in India is at a nascent stage of development withhousehold penetration of broadband limited to about 4 per cent at the end oflast year, and the top 10 cities account for 60 per cent of all customers, whohave high-speed internet connections. The government has fallen behind thetarget of 20 million broadband connections by half at the end of 2010.

Export grows 27 pc inNovember 2010

India’s exports have registered a growth of 26.8 per cent during November2010, at $ 18.9 billion—the fastest rate in five months. During the period April-November 2010, exports have reached a level of $ 140 billion at a growth of26.7 per cent, while imports were $ 222 billion with a growth of 24 per cent anda trade deficit of $ 82 billion. India’s imports in November 2010 were $27.8billion, up by 11.2 per cent.

At this rate, while exports could total $ 215 billion against the target of $200 billion this year, imports could drop because of moderation in growth inrecent months. Nevertheless, India need to monitor, on a regular basis, itsimport bill in the context of rising commodity prices, particularly of crude in theinternational market.

During April-November 2010, the following sectors have done well viz.,engineering, gems & jewellery, petroleum and its products, leather & leatherproducts, carpet, plastics & linoleum, cotton yarn, chemicals, etc.

The rising current account deficit—expected to widen to 3 per cent of GDPthis fiscal—is a matter of concern, if there is a let-up in foreign capital inflows,and a threat to India’s growth story.

Govt not Happy with Airlines’Steps to Lower Airfares

The government said it was not “fully satisfied” with the steps taken by aircarriers so far to lower the “astronomical” fares and wanted all airlines to domore to bring ticket costs down.

After a meeting of the newly-formed Civil Aviation Economic Advisory Council(CAEAC), Civil Aviation Minister Mr. Praful Patel said, “Astronomical faresneed to be controlled.

We have already advised the airlines to do further more (in this regard).”The CAEAC decided to set up a small working group, comprising

representatives of the air carriers and passengers’ associations, torecommend measures to “ensure transparency” in fixing of airfares, keepingthe DGCA directives in mind.

Maintaining that the government “cannot be a mute spectator” to theairlines charging exorbitant fares, he said that “we are not fully satisfied” withthe steps taken by the airlines so far.

PORT OF KOPER, Dec 19Slovenia’s Port of Koper is in

talks with several Indian shippinglines, including state-run ShippingCorporation of India (SCI), for es-tablishing a direct port connectiv-ity between the two countries, asenior Port of Koper official said.

“We are talking to several ship-ping lines for establishing a directshipping connection with our port.Shipping Corporation of India (SCI)is one among them,” Port ofKoper’s Board of Management’sVice-President Mr. Tomaa MartinJamnik told PTI.

The port management would behappy if the SCI considers its re-quest, Mr Jamnik said, adding “itis their call now.”

Port of Koper is Slovenia’s onlyport and serves as the gateway tocentral and south-eastern Euro-

Slovenia’s Port Woos Indian Shipping COSpean markets.

Mr Jamnik was part of a Slov-enian delegation that visited Indiaat the invitation of apex industrybody, Confederation of Indian In-dustry (CII), to explore further tradeopportunities between the twocountries.

A direct connection with theKoper Port would not only reduceshipping time to Europe from In-dia but also enhance trade, hesaid.

“We are a European port and notsimply a Slovenian one that is ata distance of less than 2,000 nau-tical miles from India compared tothe Rotterdam Port (in Nether-lands). Moreover, we are alsosome 400-800 km close to the Eu-ropean market as well,” Mr Jam niksaid.

Shipping Corporation of India

Chairman Mr. S C Hajara con-firmed having received a requestfrom the Port of Koper.

“They have given a request.It is a part of several such re-quests that we receive. We willstudy the market before takingany decision,” Mr Hajara said.

The port (of Koper) is eyeingthe high-volume India- Europetrade, which at present ishandled by other ports, mainlyRotterdam, he said, adding thestrategic location of the port of-fered a big advantage.

With 25 berths, the Koper porthas 11 specialised terminals, in-cluding passenger, fruit, timber,container, livestock and car. TheV and X pan-European transportcorridors, which pass throughSlovenia, are also linked with theKoper port.

Asia-Pacific Region Witnesses Steep Hike in AirfaresNEW DELHI, Dec 19

The steep hike in airfareswitnessed in India recentlyhas been replicated in theAsia- Pacific region too as air-lines threw “caution to thewind” in raising tariff even aspassenger traffic grew sub-stantially, according to a lat-est study.

As air traff ic rebound

strongly in the Asia-Pacific re-gion after the downturn, airlinesstarted charging higher faresmaking air travel costlier, saidthe American Express BusinessTravel (AEBT) Monitor in itsstudy on airfare trends in the re-gion released here.

“Airlines initially were cau-tious in their response to rais-ing airfares. However, during the

later part of the third quarterof this year up until now, moreand more airlines are throw-ing caution to the wind and it’sbecoming more expensive fortravellers to fly as a result,”Vice President of Global Busi-ness Partnerships and Advi-sory Services for AEBT Rob-ert Tedesco said.

RNI NO. TNENG/2007/19436New Delhi, Monday, December 20, 20108

FIEO’s Sectoral Review Meeting with DGFTsification of export marketsand the various pro active ini-tiatives taken by the govern-ment . These factors havegiven momentum to exports inthe last few months which needa further push in view of thefragile market conditions andfinancial crisis looming overmany European Countries.

Deregulation of exportcredit: Exporters were en-titled for concessional exportcredit under PLR regime whereboth on pre and post shipmentexport finance, banks were ex-tending credit to 2.5% belowthe prime lending rate. How-ever, with the adoption of thebase rate, the concessionalrate has been abolished. Ex-ports, is a key driver of theeconomy contributing to 17%of GDP. Moreover, exportcredit rate in India is above theinternational benchmark andthe gap is l ikely to be in-creased further with interestrate looking northward. TheDGFT should take up with theReserve Bank of India to treatexports as a separate cat-egory for the purpose of creditand bring a separate chapteron exports in the new credit

policy due in April, 2011. Thiswill also send signal to thebanks that export is a priorityarea for the Government.

High banking chargeslevied by Indian Banks: Thebanking charges after the de-regulation are consistently onincrease despite increase inbusiness transaction. Whilethe matter has been taken upwith the Indian Banks, it is sug-gested that the Governmentmay give direct ion to the Banks to rationalize the bank-ing charges with a view to bringtransparency asking them toexhibit the banking charges ontheir Website.

ECGC cover up to 95%of the default: The global re-covery is still fragile and finan-cial crisis is also looming largeover European Countries. Inthis situation, the Governmentshould ask ECGC to increaseexport cover to 95% of the de-fault amount as was done dur-ing the stimulus period. Thiswill help the exporters to takethe risk by exploring new mar-kets as well as locating newbuyers in the existing markets.

Service Tax Refund:The Government has allowed

service tax exemption on oneservice while 18 other ser-vices are eligible for refund.The refund is cumbersome,time taking and add to thetransaction cost. More than90% of the exporters claimthat they have not been givenrefund on one ground or theother. Since Government istrusting the trade for one of theservices, it should extend thesame to the rest of the ser-vices. This will help the ex-porters as it wil l ease outmoney flow and will also savethe Government time and en-ergy in refunding the amount.

Increase in MDA/MAIallocation: The present MDAscheme has limited budgetwhich is not sufficient to sup-port the export projectionsmade by the Ministry of Com-merce, MDA/MAI fundsshould be at least 0.5% of ourexport. Many of the countriesare providing marketing sup-port to the SME segment, andtherefore, we should also pro-vide enough funds so that ex-porters are encouraged to di-versify their export marketsenabling the Government toraise the export target and

also reduce our dependency onfew markets.

Transaction Cost: Thetransaction cost of exports isstill high and the same will con-tinue till EDI is formally estab-lished amongst all the agenciesinvolved in exports and im-ports. The Government should,therefore, put a time frame forful l implementat ion of EDIamongst all agencies and lookfor a paperless system forseamless movement of tradedocuments.

Dispensing the Certifi-cate requirement under TUF:Exporters availing status hold-ers under this scheme areasked to submit a letter regard-ing availment or non-availmentof TUF. This leads to the de-lay and, therefore, the DGFTshould allow self-declarationon availment or non-availmentof TUF. Since SHIS benefitsare only availed by the statusholders, a trust based systemwill help the exporters anddo away with unnecessarydocumentation.

Non-availability of dollarloans for expor t f inance: MSME export sector has drawnour attention to the fact that af-

ter the announcement of the re-duction in Foreign CurrencyLoans to LIBOR + 2% vide RBICircular dated February 19,2010, banks are refusing PCFCLoans. Prior to the reductionsPCFC Loans were being ex-tended at interest cost totaling3.90% but with the refusal ofthe banks to provide dollarloans at the said rates, thecredit costs (in rupee loans)have increased to twice theearlier rates.

Continuation of all ex-port Promotion Schemesand increase in entitlementsunder Focus Schemes: Tosustain export promotion, allExport Promotion Schemesneeds to be continued till thevalidity period of the currentPolicy 2009-2014 includingthe DEPB Scheme. TheDEPB Scheme neutral izesbasic Customs Duty which isnot covered under GST andthus should continue evenwith the adoption of GST. Moreover, the entitlement un-der FMS, FPS & MLFPSshould be doubled so that ex-porters encourage to diversifytheir exports into new productand markets.

NEW DELHI, Dec 19The trailer crew at Cochin

Por t demand ing wage in -crease, started their indefinitestrike due to which the move-ment of cargo to and from Ko-chi port has come to a haltsince Monday midnight.

Even the attempts madeby the Ernakulam District Col-lector to avert the strike havealso failed as the trailer own-ers are against any hike inwages.

The port officials said they

Trailer Crew at Cochin Port Strikes. Port Operations Partially Hit.

NEW DELHI, Dec 19President, Federation of In-

dian Export Organisat ions(FIEO), Mr A Sakthivel ad-dressed the Sectoral Reviewmeeting convened by DGFTand highlighted various keyissues pertaining to the exportsector with suitable sugges-tions thereof to provide furtherimpetus to Indian exports. Hewas opt imist ic that t imelyassessment of the sectoralexport performance will helpthe Government for compre-hensive and timely measuresin to further push the exportgrowth.

FIEO Chief commented it isa significant sign that cumula-tive value of exports for the pe-riod April-October 2010 wasUS$ 121.394 billion as againstUS$ 95.756 billion, registeringa growth of 26.8 per cent in dol-lar terms over the same periodlast year. Mr Sakthivel opinedthat maintaining this trend,India’s exports are likely totouch a new milestone of US$210-220 billion this fiscal. Thegrowth in export is primarilydue to the overall improvementin the export scenario acrossproducts barring a few, diver-

had stopped the movement oftimber logs from the port areato var ious dest inat ions onaccount of the strike. How-ever, the oil movement hasnot been affected.

At RGCT a senior officialin the container terminal saidthe strike has so far not af-fected the terminal operationswith loading and unloadinggoing on smoothly.

Currently, sufficient boxesfor exports are stacked insidethe terminal. If the strike pro-

longs, terminal operations arelikely to be hit and will resultin possible diversion of cargoto neighbouring ports, he said.

The striking CoordinationCommittee of Trailer Crewhad demanded a 62.5 per centincrease in the running Bata,it later agreed for a 45 per centhike during the conciliatorymeeting called by the DistrictCollector. Mr Benny Fernan-dez, representing the TradeUnion Coordination Committeeof the Cochin Port Labour

Union, said the workers hadbeen demanding wage in-crease since May. He allegedtha t the t ra i l e r ownersrejected the request and boy-cotted the meeting.

There were about 3,000trailer workers in the Kochiport area and they are findingit difficult to cope with thepresent wage structure.

Mr P . Ramachandran ,President of the Cochin Con-

tainer Carrier Owners WelfareAssociation, pointed out thatthe trailer owners had alreadyeffected a 45 per cent increasein wages to the crew in the lastfive years.

He however said that con-sidering the slowdown in busi-ness in the port area in the re-cent period due to low arrivalof cargo, it would be difficultto provide another wage in-crease. If the Association had

agreed for a wage hike now, ithas no other option but to passthe burden on to the trade,which would not be competi-tive under the current environ-ment. Besides, the workersresor ted to s t r ike wi thoutgiving the mandatory 14-daynotice to the owners.

The Associat ion is alsoplanning to move the Court todeclare the strike illegal if itcontinues.

To sustain the high growth ratein future, the Logistics sectorhas to grow in tandem by add-ing adequate capacity to caterto the ever increasing demanddue to young demographic pro-file and growing disposable in-come, resulting in higher con-sumerism and demand for mod-ern retailing. These factorshave driven significant growthin freight movement acrossroads, rail, air and ports.

Mr. Vasan observed that theinfrastructure development has tokeep pace with the double digitgrowth rates in freight trafficacross roads, rails, ports and airand also due to higher logistics’cost compared to developed Coun-tries.

ment has been very proactiveand has brought in policy re-forms and is investing in build-ing the infrastructure acrossrails, roads, airports, ports, lo-gistics parks, containers, In-land Container Depots (ICDs),Container Freight Stations(CFSs), warehouses and coldchains.
