*Press Release:*



Make in India: A New Deal for India’s Manufacturing Sector – CII President



The CII President, Mr. Ajay S Shriram, welcomed the launch of Make in India
(MII) by the Prime Minister, calling it a new deal for India’s
manufacturing sector. He said that the initiative to ease procedures and
welcome investment into the sector had been taken at the right time. It is
the only way to generate employment for the large pool of young people
joining the labour force every year. As mentioned by the Prime Minister,
the purchasing power of the people can be enhanced and demand created only
if they have employment opportunities.



CII endorses the idea that security of investment and consistency in
policies are most important for developing the trust of investors. The
assurance given by the Prime Minister that the centre and states will work
as a team is important for industry. His emphasis on self-certification
will go a long way in reducing difficulties for businesses.



The Prime Minister’s emphasis on skill development and mapping of skills to
industries is an important endeavour that must be pursued. CII has taken
many initiatives in this area and trained many workers with specific skills
across sectors by adopting ITIs and developing skill gurukuls.



Another new idea in the PM’s speech was that India is ideally placed to
Look East and Link West. This will help products manufactured in India to
enter the global value chain. It is interesting that the PM has equated FDI
to the notion of First Develop India. Digital India should lead to much
better governance that will help India improve its rank in the Ease of
Doing Business.



The CII President also welcomed the emphasis on ease of doing business by
Commerce and Industry Minister Ms. Nirmala Sitharaman.



The repeated mention of “Ease of Doing Business” is very heartening, since
CII has taken this up as its priority in our advocacy with the Government
and we are grateful that the Government has been receptive to the various
suggestions, said Mr Shriram.



As a part of this National Campaign, CII Goa organized an interaction with
the State Government, concerned Industry Associations, leading
Industrialists and Entrepreneurs at a city hotel in Panaji. At this event
they discussed and deliberated the key issues faced by the Manufacturing
Sector. The Hon’ble Chief Minister, Mr. Manohar Parrikar, Government of Goa
addressed the gathering and expressed his whole hearted support towards
this initiative. Inspired by the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s speech, the
Chairman- CII Goa State Council, Mr. Kirit J Maganlal stated that “Based on
the basic tenet of having faith in the stakeholders and create not only a
good but effective and easy Governance Model”.

[Goanet] CII Press Release: CII Goa leads Industry to find a solution to the Reliance Power imbroglio

[CII Goa]

Dear Esteemed Members of the Media,

 

With reference to my telecon with you yesterday and today, Request you to
kindly carry the appended press release in your esteemed print and
electronic Media.

 

 

CII Goa leads Industry to find a solution to the Reliance Power imbroglio

 

CII Goa had taken up the issue of the abrupt cancellation of Power by
Reliance supplied to some of the industries, to the doors of the Goa
Government. 

 

The delegation led by Chairman Kirit Maganlal and Atul Pai Kane met the
Chief Minister on two consecutive days to find an amicable resolution to
this vexed issue.

 

Mr Maganlal informed that though they have been informed of this issue since
April 2014, it decided to intervene when some of its member companies
brought this up and requested the Chairman to spearhead the delegation. At
the end of the meeting, Mr Maganlal informed the media that the Hon'ble
Chief Minister was proactively trying to sort out the high handed attitude
shown by the management of Reliance Power in trying to harass its power
consumers who form an important part of the Goan Industry. The Chief
Minister has assured the delegation, in the presence of the Chief Electrical
Engineer and the Principal Secretary, Mr R K Srivastava, that the Government
will wheel the required power needs of these industries through a negotiated
deal with Reliance by using their existing TD network until the time that
Reliance Power do not resume supply of the same and till the current PPA
with Reliance exists. Mr Parag Joshi, Vice Chairman of CII expressed the
hope that these industries would also benefit by a reduction of the tariff
from the current Rs 16 per unit to less than Rs 10 per unit under this
initiative taken by CII. Mr Maganlal also stated that the Chief Minister has
assured that these decisions will be taken and executed before 5th June
2014.

 

It is to be recollected that The Power purchase agreement and subsequent
agreements entered by the Goa State Government with the Reliance Power Plant
will end on 14th August 2014. 

 

During the first notice of shutdown issued by Reliance Power to its
consumers in April 2014, CII had intervened and arranged an emergency
meeting with the Power minister and Chief Engineer to prevail upon Reliance
not to stop the power plant.  

 

Chronology of Events:

 

*Reliance plant shutdown notice received from midnight of 18th April
2014 due to technical reason, this shutdown was unplanned and last minute
requested by Reliance. At a high level meeting organized by CII with the
Hon'ble CM, Reliance allowed arranging backup supply from their resources so
that 76 industries power supply will continue. 

 

*An emergency meeting was organized by Vice Chairman CII, Parag
Joshi alongwith the affected consumers in the chamber of the Power Minister,
Mr Milind Naik and Chief Engineer Mr Lekshmanan on 21 April wherein it was
decided to impress upon Reliance to continue allowing use of their TD
network and GOG would wheel its own power through this network. It was also
proposed to ask all consumers to formally apply to the Dept of Electricity
for sanction of load from the GOG.

 

*Despite use of GOG power, Reliance continued charging the consumers
the contracted rate @ upto Rs 16 and with no guarantee of reliability of
outages and tripping. Industry suffered due to lack of quality power and
high power tariff.

 

*CII was called in to intervene and Chairman along with Atul Pai
Kane and Parag Joshi met the Hon'ble CM on 30th May requesting him to
immediately intervene to solve the issue.

 

*CII headed my Kirit Maganlal and Parag Joshi met the Hon'ble CM on
31st May once again with the CE and Principal Secretary and worked out a
roadmap before 5th June to settle the issue in the interest of all these
affected industry stakeholders

India's entertainment and media industry to clock over INR 224, 500 crore
by 2017: CII-PwC study forecast CAGR of 18%1 over 2012-17

 

(Full report attached)

 

*Mumbai, 10 September   2013* – India’s Entertainment  Media sector is
expected to grow steadily over the next five years as per CII-PwC’s latest
report titled ‘India Entertainment  Media Outlook 2013’. The industry is
expected to exceed INR 224,500 crore growing at a CAGR of 18% from 2012 to
2017. The CII-PwC report, ‘India Entertainment  Media Outlook 2013 will be
released on September 13 at the second edition of the CII Big Picture
Summit, New Delhi.

 

The Summit will bring together the finest business and creative minds of
the ME industry with `Embracing Innovation In Media’ as theme towards
achieving $100 billion Indian ME sector’ by the end of this decade.  Over
70 ME leaders will be speaking at the two-day summit organised by the
Confederation of Indian Industry.

 

Today, the size of the Indian ME sector increased from about 805 billion
INR in 2011 to almost 965 billion INR in 2012 representing an year-on-year
growth of 20%. This growth was achieved in spite of a relative slowdown in
the broader economy, underlining the resilience of the EM sector. It is
expected to grow at about 18% CAGR over 2012-2017 and reach revenues of
about 2,245 billion INR in 2017.  

 

``This growth is driven by the introduction of cable TV digitization,
continued growth of regional media, continued strength of the filmed
entertainment sector, fast increasing new media businesses and
transparency,’’ said Mr Chandrajit Banerjee, Director General,
Confederation of Indian Industry. ``We believe that innovation - faster,
better, more efficient, thinking out of the box (and within the box) -
would be one of the game changers in this space,’’ he added.

 

An entire chapter on ``The Innovation Imperative in the rapidly evolving
EM sector’’ has documented strategies for EM companies in the CII-PwC
report.  Indian EM businesses, like their peers abroad, will need to raise
their game in operational agility and customer insight. 

 

``To achieve this successfully, every industry participant will need to
invest in constant  innovation that encompasses products and services,
business and operating models and most importantly, customer experience and
engagement. Innovation should be seen as an important enabler to get closer
to consumers and profitably deliver relevant content and services,’’ said
the report.

 

India’s television market grew at 13% with revenues increasing from 340
billion INR in 2011 to 383 billion INR in 2012. Filmed entertainment also
demonstrated stellar growth in 2012 with sector revenues increasing by
about 17% from 96 billion INR in 2011 to 112 billion INR in 2012. The print
sector revenues are expected to increase at over 9% CAGR to reach 331
billion INR in 2017 from 212 billion INR in 2012.

 Year-on-year sectors such as internet access (30%), internet advertising
(29%), gaming (19%), and music (15%) are expected to continue on their high
growth trajectory. The radio sector is also expected to receive a fillip
with the successful conclusion of Phase III licence auctions and it is
expected to grow at a robust CAGR of about 16%.

 

 The rapid rise of Internet usage, high penetration of smart phones,
digital advertising, wireless broadband, digital content consumption,
regulatory interventions have had a significant impact on the EM sector.***
*

 

The television and print sectors dominate the industry with about 40% and
22% contribution to industry revenues respectively in 2012. Internet access
now commands about 18% share and films 12% of industry revenues.

 

 However, in 2017, television will continue to lead the industry in terms
of revenue contribution with 39% share, followed by internet access with
28% share. The share of print and films are likely to decrease 15%  and 9%
in 2017. 

 

 Today, if we take the EM growth without taking internet access and
internet advertising into account the size of the Indian ME sector
increased from about 690 billion INR in 2011 to almost 795 billion INR in
2012. It is expected to grow at about 15% CAGR over 2012-2017 and reach
revenues of about 1,615 billion INR in 2017.

 

 

Overall, the Indian EM industry is on the cusp of a

Good Morning, 

** **

President, CII Kris Gopalakrishnan statement on Food Security Bill

 

** **

Commenting on the passage of Food Security Bill, *Mr Kris Gopalakrishnan,
President, CII,* said “In a country like India, food security is
extremely important. With a significant section of the population living
below the poverty line, government intervention to provide nutritious food
is essential”. 

** **

CII President said “However, there are concerns. *Such a large outlay at
this point in time would definitely have a negative impact on the fiscal
deficit. This needs to be managed. The larger concern is regarding the
effective implementation of such a high profile and critical social agenda
of the Government”*. The use of PDS raises questions about the efficacy of
the model. Targeting is another area that would need special attention. CII
hopes that appropriate focus would be given to these aspects - mainly that
of targeting so that the needy can benefit from this  programme, he added. *

CII Budget Comments



“The finance minister has done a good job in focusing on infrastructure 
development and employment generation which will be positive triggers for the 
economy. The various EGovernance measures in the budget speech will hopefully 
plug revenue leakages and improve compliance. 

 

Lot of thrust has been put on tourism related projects which in the long run 
could generate additional revenues for the state”


Shrinivas Dempo

Past Chairman, CII Western Region

==

  

“ Budget is a fine exercise of keeping economy growing and giving concessions 
to the underprivileged. The announcement of the investment policy by 30th May 
is a welcome decision” ………

 

Anil Kher

Immediate Past Chairman, CII Goa Council

===

 

“The Hon chief Minister has balanced a well thought of budget with a thrust on 
employment, skill development and infrastructure building.

 

While it is a budget with an outlay crossing 5 digits for  the first time, at 
over Rs 1 cr, the Hon CM has also struck a very optimistic note on 
estimating a 12% GDP growth this year. Notable also is his emphasis on the 
Green Cess which is proposed by him and which has been a CII focus initiative 
also through the year.

 

The budget has laid emphasis on uplifting the quality of education by proposing 
a counsellor in all Secondary and Higher Secondary schools and a promise to 
look into the Medium of Instruction issue in a time bound fashion. We also 
welcome his initiative of providing for a provision of Rs 2 cr for existing 
pre-primary schools in Konkani and Marathi and another like amount for adding 
another 68 such schools. The 100 cr allocation for Technical Education is a 
welcome move.

 

Agriculture which seems the Hon CM’s dear subject has found a special place in 
the budget especially Dairy production and schemes for animal welfare.

 

On the VAT front, the Honble CM has given due attention to certain lacunae that 
existed earlier esp those concerning the Input Tax Credit and stringent 
enforcements against tax evaders.

 

For Tourism, the refund of VAT on purchase for outbound foreign tourists is in 
line with many other countries around the world. The CM has also been very open 
to consider the issue of providing additional FAR for Hotels with an additional 
charge to enhance and boost bed capacities. The grant of Rs 128 cr for Tourism 
development should kickstart the infrastructure buildup facilities of the State.

 

Panaji city should be happy with the grant of Rs 30cr for city development 
since a comprehensive plan for the same is already on the drawing board and the 
monies would be put to effective use at the earliest.

 

The Budget has not thrown up any jolts either to Industry or to the common man. 
This had been an amazing exercise by the CM to subtly mop up additional revenue 
under the scenario of the fiscal shortcomings following the mining ban.  A 
number of Industry issues still remain unattended. A positive attitude to 
business and industry is what matters. Our Honble CM has shown the way this 
time around”.

Higher and technical education to be the key growth propeller in Goa if 
accorded due priority: CII Report

Shrinivas V Dempo, Past Chairman CII WR, Chairman Dempo Group, Mr. Keshav 
Chandra, Secretary Govt of Goa, H.E. Bharat Vir Wanchoo, Governor of Goa, Mr. 
Anil Kher, Chairman CII Goa Council, Moushmi Kamat, Deputy Director  State 
Head CII Goa State Office.

 

Panaji: Education, especially higher education, plays a key role in the 
realization of a country's potential and aspirations for economic and 
technological development. At the state level, it is imperative that the higher 
education system in Goa be able to cater to not only the state's indigenous 
demand but also be suitably competitive to cater to the overall country's 
demand.



A CII report - titled Higher  Technical Education in Goa: A Status Report - 
was released during CII's Higher Education Summit 2012 Improving Quality of 
Higher Education to Drive Goa's Economy in Goa on 14th December, 2012. The 
report highlighted the current higher and technical education scenario in Goa 
and focussed on certain measures that need to be implemented in order to 
transform Goa into a higher and technical education hub.

 

Goa boasts of a high level of education awareness and literacy with literacy 
rates in Goa ranking above the all India literacy rate (2011). While most 
education indicators point to Goa's relatively well developed primary education 
system, higher and technical education in Goa lags behind. 

 

The report pointed out, that over the past 35 years, higher and 
professional/technical education infrastructure in Goa has grown from 8 general 
higher education colleges and 10 professional colleges in 1985-86 to an 
estimated 21 institutes of general higher education and 29 professional 
education institutions. 

 

Goa's Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) in higher  technical education (between the 
ages 18-23 years) has also increased substantially - from 12.66 per cent in 
2006-07 to 28.3 per cent in 2009-10. It is interesting to note that the GER for 
female students in Goa has consistently been higher than the GER for male 
students.



However, with a growing number of graduates and post graduates entering the job 
market each year and with their aspirations of well paying jobs not being met, 
there is an urgent need to improve the overall quality of higher and technical 
education in the state. The report throws light on some issues in the system 
that need attention - faculty shortages, lack of adequately qualified and 
trained faculty, course content and curriculum not in sync with current needs, 
poor quality of infrastructure, and inadequate industry-academia linkages. 

 

The report also details the key measures required to enhance the quality and 
relevance of Goa's higher education system so that it is more demand driven, 
quality conscious, and forward looking. 

 

Key measures which have been suggested include:

 

§ Encouraging students to pursue higher education in the state

§ Explore autonomy of institutes

§ Ensure accreditation of institutes and programmes 

§ Promote faculty development 

§ Revamp course curriculum 

 

The study has also highlighted other forward looking initiatives which could be 
undertaken to revamp the higher education system like attracting high quality 
institutions of learning (both government and private) to Goa, emphasizing 
research, encouraging foreign education provider participation, exploring 
effective industry-academia linkages, and using Information and Communication 
technology (ICT) to enhance access to higher education in the state.

THE GOA GOVERNOR CALLS FOR GOA TO BE BOSTON OF INDIA at CII Higher Education 
Summit: 

 

CII Commits to Faculty Development Program throughout the State

 

Panaji : Goa has the potential to be the prime education hub and should be 
known as the BOSTON OF INDIA These were the words said by HE Bharat Vir 
Wanchoo, Governor of Goa as he was speaking at the 1st Higher Education Summit 
organized by CII in association with Government of Goa which witnessed 
overwhelming turn out of Education institute owners, principal, faculty and all 
stakeholders across the State. He also stated that Goa indeed has the right mix 
of stakeholders who can enable this change.

 

The Key dignitaries at the inaugural along with HE Bharat Vir Wanchoo, Governor 
of Goa and The Chancellor of Goa University, Hon. Secretary of State, Technical 
 Higher Education, Mr. Keshav Chandra, Chairman CII Goa, Anil Kher and Atul 
Pai kane, and Mr. Shrinivas Dempo, of Dempo Education Trust. 

 

HE BV Wanchoo also emphasised on Need for training and up scaling faculty. Push 
the stake holders to move out of comfort zone, need for improving PhD  
Research facility in the Colleges and universities. HE BV Wanchoo also 
mentioned about Goa's Potential for up scaling Agriculture economy. Research 
and technology should be used to promote produce and that younger generation 
should take up agriculture as a lucrative business.

 

The impending need for changing the way education is doled out has coerced CII 
to look at bringing about a new perspective to enhance the Quality of education 
across the nation since last decade. It is time that Education sector moves 
into the expansion mode and is equally scaled up to be more inclusive so as to 
reach out to a larger chunk of the population and power the growth engine of 
the economy of the State and Nation.

 

CII committed series of faculty development program in key sectors, soft skills 
development, and different methods of teaching. It will be conducting a barrage 
of individual program at various colleges and add on the momentum gained 
through this initial summit

 

CII Chairman, Anil Kher mentioned that Itwas indeed humbling to receive such 
personal focus and attention given by HE Bharat Vir Wanchoo, Hon Chief 
Minister, Mr. Parrikar and Sec Education Mr. Keshav Chandra. Their zeal and 
personal commitments to this noble cause of making a difference to Goa's 
economy through the Education Channel is a path breaking move and we all here 
today are witness to a Great Change Agenda for our beloved State.

 

Hon Secretary of Higher  Technical Education, Mr. Keshav Chandra, the 
initiator of this entire Summit, made a very informative presentation 
emphasising on GER (gross enrolment ratio) and highlighted many facts and 
figures of the Education scenario in the country and state and also threw light 
on global benchmarks as well. 

 

Mr. Shrinivas V Dempo, Chairamn CII WR and Chairman Dempo Group, reiterated the 
need for having a bigger vision for Goa in terms of Education and mentioned 
that just as in the corporate, the profits need to be redefined for the 
education sector also and it needs to be pumped back into the system. 

 

Heads of premium institutes like Symbiosis, COEP, UGC were present and had many 
brainstorming sessions highlighting change stories and steps taken in their 
institutes towards curriculum revision, institute autonomy. 

 

The Inaugural session drove the point that Goa has no option than creating 
better equipped students if we are to keep progressing sustainably.

 

Session 1. - There is a need to revise curriculum in most courses as it has not 
been revised for about 30 years. Academic Autonomy is also very important 
according to bringing in better education. The university is ready. We have 
invited the BITS Pilani Registrar to tell us how under the chancellor's 
ordinance they revamped the curriculum in 3 months. 

 

Session 2- The owners of Goa's 50 institutions need to make learning outcomes 
as their priority. Three leading institutions will talk of how they manage 
their institutions - ISB / Manipal/ Symbiosis and then have a panel discussion 
with owners/ trustees of Goan colleges. Mr. Umaji Chowgule, Vice President

for organizing an event of this kind and requested them to organize industry 
specific events also in future.

HRM needs to be integrated with Business and the Organisation's future. HR is 
no longer an Administrative, documentary or support function. It needs to be 
part of the Business for its profitability and accountable for the bottom-line. 
It has to add value to the Business process of the organisation.  

 

To be at it HR has to rightly understand the Business challenges and then 
integrate with the Business and be a strategic partner to add value and to 
improve the bottom line.

 

This program will touch these aspects on Day-1, and will take it further to 
give a bird's eye-view of how an Organisation development intervention can be 
made to improve the organisation on Day-2.

 

This program does stress on the Specific Metric Terms (SLA's) on each 
sub-function of HRM in specific metric. This program while emphasizing the 
local performance parameters would stress on the global phenomenon as India 
today is a globalised in its Business.

Statement on February IIP Data

by Mr. Chandrajit Banerjee, Director General, CII

 

The IIP figures for February 2012 are along expected lines, with moderate 
improvements being seen in basic goods and capital goods with base effect also 
playing a part. However, the error reported in the January number has sharply 
pulled down the growth rate for the year till now. Overall, industrial growth 
remains weak and is not likely to exceed 4.0% in the full year FY2012. In order 
to realise the Budget projection of 7.6 per cent GDP growth in FY2013, it is 
necessary to use all policy levers to encourage growth and investment. It is 
time that the RBI focuses on getting growth back by sharply reducing interest 
rates.

[Goanet] DG's statement on the Launch of the SME Exchange

[CII-Goa]

Dear Members of the Media,
 

Would be most obliged if you could kindly carry the appended press release in 
your esteemed newspaper.



Statement on the Launch of the SME Exchange

by Mr Chandrajit Banerjee, Director General, CII

 

Commenting on the launch of the SME Exchange, the CII Director General, Mr 
Chandrajit Banerjee commended the Ministry of MSME and Securities and Exchange 
Board of India (SEBI), for guiding the bourses and facilitating the way forward 
for the SMEs to access equity finance. Congratulating the Bombay Stock Exchange 
(BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE), for the path breaking initiative, 
he added that the launch provides a great opportunity for the existing and the 
greenfield entrepreneurial ventures, besides the investors community, in the 
SME space. 

 

He added that this was pending on the CII agenda, as an alternate means, to 
bridge the gap on the availability of finance for the SMEs. It is essential 
that there are competing segments for SME in the stock market for ensuring that 
the trading platforms function in the best manner for providing services to SME 
and the investing public in a cost effective manner. Competition among Stock 
Exchanges and amongst their segments is essential also for the introduction of 
new financial products through a process of innovation. Under this environment, 
SME would be in a better position to foster equitable economic growth and 
promote inclusive growth.

 

Reiterating CIIs commitment to work in partnership with all the concerned 
stakeholders, Mr Banerjee suggested the further need for streamlining 
procedures related to Market Making  and incentivisation for Listing on SME 
Exchange.

[Goanet] Union Budget - Quote from Chairman, CII Western Region and Deputy Chairman, CII WR

[CII-Goa]

Quote from Mr Praveen Toshniwal, Chairman, CII Western Region
And Chiarman Nivo Controls

 

Mr Praveen Toshniwal, Chairman, CII Western Region lauded the efforts of the 
Finance Minister for presenting a balanced budget. The Budget proposes to give 
a boost to the infrastructure sector, manufacturing sector, skill development, 
the MSME sector and the social sector. The proposal to set up the India 
Opportunity Venture Fund of Rs 5000 crore for the MSME Sector will assist MSMEs 
to access finance and set up new units. 

 

The Budget, however, has set no definite timeline for the GST. It has also not 
been very specific on disinvestment issues.

 

Quote from Mr Pradeep Bhargava, Deputy Chairman, CII Western Region 

and MD ,Cummins Generator Technologies India Ltd

 

The Finance Minister has got his basic objectives right while presenting this 
budget. He has focused on bolstering MSMEs, highlighting the infrastructure 
sector by expanding ECB funding options and on the overall inclusive growth 
aspect by incentivizing the social sector. He has also offered support to 
agriculture sector through several incentives. The special focus on low cost 
housing and inclusive agenda also boosts the industrial and manufacturing 
sector.

 

We must recognize that social and focused initiatives need to be financed from 
within. The pressure to contain fiscal deficit is high. Hence, increasing the 
excise duty and service tax by 2% was not entirely unexpected. It does 
disappoint the industry but over time the new equilibrium will set in. Critical 
for us in the industry is the efficacy, integrity and efficiency with which the 
money generated through taxes is spent on the social agenda.



Quote by Ninad Karpe, Vice Chairman, CII Maharashtra State Council 

 MD CEO Aptech Ltd

Education and skill development received a major boost in the budget. Allowing 
weighted deduction for training imparted in companies for skill development 
will give a thrust to the skill development initiatives. The proposal to 
introduce a credit guarantee fund for educational loans for poor students will 
go a long way in enabling poor students to go in for higher education. This is 
a major game changer from the earlier system of loans based on collaterals.  

 

Quote by Anuj Puri, Chairman CII Real Estate Summit 

and Chairman   Country Head- Jones Lang LaSalle Property Consultants 

 

Affordable housing has received a fair amount of boost in the budget. Allowing 
of ECBs in the sector and inclusion of affordable housing in the negative list 
will structurally see developers move into this segment of Real Estate.

 

However, the budget has not given the much needed industry status to the real 
estate sector and has not spoken about FDI liberalization in this segment which 
is reeling under a severe liquidity crunch.  



Mr. Vijay Hede, Past Chairman CII Goa Council

Managing Director, Pyramid Finance Pvt Ltd

 

Positives:-

1.   For the first time the Finance Minister has pegged the subsidies to 2% 
of GDP for 2013 and at 1.7% of GDP for the year thereafter.

 

2.   To make the economic development inclusive it is proposed to deliver 
the subsidy directly to the beneficiary cutting out leakages through 
intermediaries.  It is also proposed to have a computerized PDS system.

 

3.   The Union Government is considering 49% FDI in aviation and the 
progress is also being made towards consensus on multi brand FDI in retail 
which could directly benefit the farmer.

 

4.   Various infrastructure agencies have been allowed to raise 60,000 
crores through tax free bonds which will expedite creation of robust 
infrastructure.

 

5.   The security transaction tax has been reduced by 20% which will make 
secondary market transactions more efficient.

 

6.   Full exemption on customs duty is granted for imports of coal which 
will bring succor to thermal power projects.

 

7.   A 4% duty import duty is imposed on import of gold which is a non 
productive asset contributing significantly to current account deficits in the 
current times.

 

Negatives: -

1.   The fiscal deficit for the current year has moved up from 4.6% as 
estimated last year to 5.9% and the same have been projected at 5.1% which 
appears to be alarmingly high.

 

2.   This high deficit accentuated by increase in the excise duties by 2% 
will not help in taming of inflation.  Under these circumstances it will be a 
challenge to attain 7.6% growth target as proposed by finance minister.

 

3.   The subsidy on petroleum products has been assumed at 43,000 crores 
for FY 2012-13 from 68,000 crores for the current year, this implies that 
sometime during the year the government will have to partially decontrol the 
petroleum products.  This could be a challenge in an environment where the 
allies let alone the opposition are not government friendly.  A problem in Iran 
could accentuate attainment of the targeted growth

[CII-Goa]

 

CII PRESS RELEASE

 

CII  lauded the efforts of the Finance Minister for presenting a balanced 
budget in the midst of the necessity to reign in high fiscal deficit and revive 
investor confidence. The budget has focused on bolstering MSMEs, incentivising 
the infrastructure sector by expanding ECB funding options and on the overall 
inclusive growth aspect by giving incentives to the social sector. The 
necessary support has been offered to the agriculture  sector through several 
incentives. 

 

CII complements the Finance Minister's efforts to give a boost to the social 
sector - particularly in areas of education,  skill development and low cost 
housing. Allowing weighted deduction for training imparted in companies for 
skill development will give a thrust to the skill development initiatives. The 
proposal to introduce a credit guarantee fund for educational loans in place of 
the erstwhile system of loans based on collaterals will go a long way in 
enabling poor students to go in for higher education. 

 

CII also feels that the proposal to set up the India Opportunity Venture Fund 
of Rs 5000 crore for the MSME Sector will assist MSMEs to access finance and 
set up new units. 



Affordable housing has received a fair amount of attention in the budget. CII 
opines that allowing of ECBs in the sector and inclusion of affordable housing 
in the negative list will structurally see developers move into this segment of 
real estate. However, the budget has not given the much needed industry status 
to the real estate sector and has not spoken about FDI liberalization in this 
segment which is reeling under a severe liquidity crunch and would have 
benefitted from these measures.

 

The proposal to set up the India Opportunity Venture Fund of Rs 5000 crore for 
the MSME Sector will assist MSMEs to access finance and set up new units. 

 

However, CII has added that the Budget has set no definite timelines for GST, 
neither has it been very specific on disinvestment issues. The 2% hike in 
excise duty and service tax does disappoint industry but perhaps were needed in 
the context of the high fiscal deficit.  Over time the new equilibrium is 
expected to set in. The critical issue for industry is the efficacy and 
integrity with which the money generated through taxes is spent on the social 
agenda.

CRR Cut by RBI Welcome : Mr. Chandrajit Banerjee, Director General, CII

 

The move by the Reserve Bank of India to cut CRR by 50 bps to 5.5 percent is a 
very welcome measure. This will help ease the liquidity situation in the 
banking system which has remained tight since November 2011. This gives a clear 
signal that the RBI has recognized the challenges to growth owing to a 
weakening demand condition and has started to address that after successive 
increases in the headline interest rate cumulating to 375 bps. It appears that 
the RBI has been bold on this front and CII congratulates the RBI Governor for 
his decision. 

 

CII has noted with concern, the RBI's downgrading of GDP growth forecast for FY 
12 to 7 percent and non-food credit growth to 16 percent. CII has also noted 
the RBI's observations on the challenges being posed by a high fiscal deficit. 
In our Pre Budget Memorandum, we have pointed out this to be one of the 
greatest risks facing the country and therefore, CII has suggested that there 
be a clear roadmap for bringing down fiscal and revenue deficit to 3 percent 
and zero percent respectively over the next five years. 

 

While CII agrees with the outlook of the RBI, we believe that sooner than 
later, the RBI needs to start reducing the repo rate as well in order to start 
the investment cycle, which has weakened. However, it appears implicit in the 
RBI's statement that the RBI would wait for the Government to signal deficit 
management before interest rate cuts. CII feels that a coordinated response 
from the Government and the RBI is in order, like it was observed when the 
economy was in crisis in 2008-09.

Agricultural Productivity: Transitioning from subsidy regime to technology and 
open markets

By 

Mr RakeshBharti Mittal, Chairman, CII National Council on Agriculture

And Vice Chairman  Managing Director, Bharti Enterprises Limited

Rejuvenating India's agriculture sector, which provides livelihood to nearly 60 
percent of the workforce, needs to be made central to the inclusive growth 
endeavour of the government. India's current policies for the agriculture 
sector are geared towards short-term solutions and revenue expenditure rather 
than long-term capital investment solutions. The dependence on subsidies 
squeezes government spends on critical infrastructure, technology and credit, 
in the absence of which farmers continue to use inefficient methods of 
cultivation. Given the recent pressures of a fast growing population with 
increasing food consumption levels, the need for increasing agricultural 
productivity through technology infusion and market-led interventions is 
gaining increasing urgency. 

It is well-acknowledged that every rupee of contribution to GDP from farming is 
twice as effective as other interventions in alleviating rural poverty. 
Further, agriculture is an indirect growth driver, as a growth rate of 4percent 
in agriculture translates into robust demand for other sectors. High 
agriculture growth also helps mute food inflation, a key concern. For all these 
reasons, agricultural productivity should be at the centre of the policy 
matrix. 

Yields per hectare of food grains, fruits and vegetables in India are far below 
global averages. Our rice yields are at one-third of China, and at about half 
the levels in Vietnam and Indonesia. Even India's most productive states lag 
global averages. For example, Punjab's yield of rice in 2010 was 3.8 tonnes per 
hectare as against the global average of 4.3 tonnes. The average yield for 
apples grown in India (JK) is about 11 MT/Acre compared to USA, New Zealand, 
Israel or China, where yields range between 30-70 MT/Acre. This pattern is 
typical of most of our agricultural commodities such as pulses and edible 
oilseeds whose demand has been rising faster than supply, adding to food 
inflation.

The substantial hikes in Minimum Support Price for rice and wheat in recent 
years have distorted production patterns, resulting in loss of benefits of crop 
diversification and inadequate focus on cash crops. Lack of crucial inputs such 
as infrastructure, post-harvest linkages and technology further results in 
losses across the supply chain. For example, gross capital formation in 
agriculture and allied sectors has been below 3 percent for years.

The experience of other economies at similar stages of development is 
instructive. Brazil, China, and several south-east Asian countries have 
leveraged technology and instituted trade-friendly policies to bring in greater 
private sector investments into agriculture. In India, where 80 percent of 
landholdings are of less than 2 acres, it is essential to find economically 
viable solutions to improve farmer incomes.  

India has the capability to leverage existing crop technology or develop new 
technologies for raising productivity and sustainable agricultural development. 
Technologies for energy saving, environment protection, and satellite mapping 
need to be also infused into the sector. All this would require high 
investments.

Such investments can be attracted from the private sector, which has largely 
remained outside the effort of agricultural capital expenditure. A number of 
legal and policy interventions could help augment private investments. For 
example, the Agriculture Produce Market Committees Act has yet to be revisited 
in many states. Supply chain infrastructure creation such as warehousing, cold 
storage, and rural roads, would also bring in private funds. India's storage 
capacity falls short by some 15 million tonnes, leading to wastage of hundreds 
of tonnes of food grain each year. 

Private sector is capable of large-scale technology infusion. Precision 
farming, which leverages information technology for matching inputs and 
provides real-time information on soil, has been deployed to good use by the 
Argentine group Los
