Chairman’s Pen

Engineering Export Promotion Council

My dear fellow exporters,

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) by its Notification dated April 25, 2008 had extended the interestsubvention scheme for the current fiscal year till March 31, 2009. However, the Government hasnow decided to roll back the interest subvention scheme with effect from October 01, 2008 onthe ground that Rupee has started to depreciate against the Dollar. Furthermore the interest paidon EEFC account will also be withdrawn with effect from November 01, 2008.

The impact of these two measures clearly signal that counter - cyclical measures are beingimposed by the Government to control inflation in the country at the cost of increased output andexports. While protesting these two moves, the Council believes that carrying too far counter -cyclical measures could become dangerous and lead to recession in the economy. It needs tobe noted that the manufacturing sector had revived after 2004 on the back of considerableindustrial compression in the aftermath of the South East Asia crisis. In hindsight, we do believethat with a burgeoning trade deficit compressing exports could further aggravate the balance ofpayment situation that will also have its impact on the fiscal deficit.

The Council will be presenting its All India Export Excellence Awards for the year 2006-07 onAugust 09, 2008 at Kolkata. The Hon�ble Union External Affairs Minister Shri Pranab Mukherjeewill be the Chief Guest and give away the prestigious awards to the meritorious exporters.

Yours sincerely,

(RAKESH SHAH)

Malaysia

Preamble

EEPC is pleased to announce its next INDEE - Kuala Lumpur � to be held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia at Putra World Trade

Centre during 25-27 September, 2008. This is a major step forward to enter into the Malaysian market. Our INDEE is

coincided with ASEAN International Woodworking Machinery Fair and SME International Trade Fair which are considered

to be major events - not only in Malaysia, but also in SE Asia.

This exhibition will be supported by the following trade associations of Malaysia in order to draw attention of their members

to visit our event :

- Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE)

- Small & Medium Industries Development Corporation (SMIDEC)

- Malaysian Industrial Development Authority (MIDA)

About Malaysia

Malaysia emerges as one of the most potential countries in the South East Asian Region immediately after Singapore and

Indonesia. India�s engineering exports achieved a growth of 6.08% during 2006-07 over the previous year. However, the

growth during April-December 2007 as compared to the same period for the earlier year is 97.02% which is very encouraging.

The recent trend in the export growth of engineering products and services to Malaysia could be a focal point to capitalize

on the opportunities existing over there.

Malaysia boasts one of South East Asia�s most vibrant economies, the fruit of decades of industrial growth and political

stability. Malaysia�s economic prospects remain healthy, although it faces fierce competition from its neighbours, and from

China and India.



Malaysia�s Business Landscape

Malaysia is among the world�s top 20 trading nations with a strong, open economy and a Government committed tointernational competitiveness in terms of trade and investment. As part of Malaysia�s commitment to WTO and unilateralliberalization measures, it has reduced or abolished important duties on almost 5,000 items. To facilitate trade, more than60% of tariff lines are subject to zero duty.

Malaysia is also a part of the ASEAN trade block. The bilateral agreement between India and the ASEAN countries whichis being negotiated at the moment, will provide newer opportunities to the Indian business community.

Under AFTA�s Common Effective Preferential Tariffs (CEPT), ASEAN member countries have agreed to progressivelyreduce import duties, ranging from zero to 5%, on all products. As an original member, Malaysia fully implements CEPT.

Engineering Export Promotion CouncilInvites Participation in

INDEE � Shanghai, 2008(Indian Engineering Exhibition)

November 4-8, 2008

at

Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC)Shanghai, China



The country is one of the world's largest producers of a number of industrial and mineral products, including cotton cloth,

tungsten, and antimony, and is an important producer of cotton yarn, coal, crude oil, and a number of other products. Its

mineral resources are probably among the richest in the world but are only partially developed. China has acquired some

highly sophisticated production facilities through trade and also has built a number of advanced engineering plants capable

of manufacturing an increasing range of sophisticated equipment, including satellites.

Industry and construction account for about 48% of China's GDP. Around 8% of the total manufacturing output in the world

comes from China itself. China ranks third worldwide in industrial output. Major industries include mining and ore processing;

iron and steel; aluminum; coal; machinery; armaments; textiles and apparel; petroleum; cement; chemical; fertilizers; food

processing; automobiles and other transportation equipment including rail cars and locomotives, ships, and aircraft; consumer

products including footwear, toys, and electronics; telecommu-nications and information technology. China has become a

preferred destination for the relocation of global manufacturing facilities. Its strength as an export platform has contributed

to incomes and employment in China. The state-owned sector still accounts for about 40% of GDP. In recent years,

authorities have been giving greater attention to the management of state assets - both in the financial market as well as

among state-owned-enterprises - and progress has been noteworthy.

India-China Bilateral Trade and the emerging opportunities

Trade relations between the two countries have been on the increase. At present the balance of trade is in favour of China.India�s exports to China were to the tune of US$ 8,287.48 million in the year 2006-07 and imports from China to India wasUS$ 17,447.01 million. Thus the total trade was US$ 25,734.49 million.

Engineering goods scope in China

China ranks first as an importer of engineering goods and machinery in the world with imports in this category reaching US$335.30 billion in 2007. China mainly imports machinery and engineer-ng goods from Europe, Japan, South Korea andTaiwan. In 2007, to meet the demand of machine tools, China imported products worth US$ 9.72 billion. Indian engineeringindustry is yet to tap this market largely on account of lack of understanding about Indian engineering industry in China.

China today is also a major importer of machinery items. There are niche areas where we can promote our exports to meetChinese demand. Many Chinese companies are interested to source vendors and parts from India either for projects inChina or for projects in third countries. Products that are looked to be sourced from India are :

Pressure Vessels, Pressure Vessels Internals, Air Coolers, Heat Exchangers, Storage Tanks, Furnaces, Boilers, CoolingTowers, Pumps, Compressors and Boilers, Agitators and Mixers, Fans, Turbines, Gears, Electric Motors, Valves, Pipes,Fittings, Flanges and Ring Joints, Transmitters and Converters, Control Room Instruments, Control Valves, Safety Valves,Instrument Cables and Tubes, Electric Cables, Transformers, Medium Voltage Panels, Low Voltage Panels.

Share of Small and Medium Industries in total exports is also growing at a steady rate. Out of the above mentioned items thereare various items manufactured by Indian small and medium industries that have good export potential for the Chinese market.

Overseas Market Information

UAENew Projects conducted by Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Authority (ADWEA)

Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Authority (ADWEA) unveiled its 5-year strategic plan. As part of the plan, a numberof new projects have been lined up. In the near future, ADWEA shall receive tenders concerning Al Showayhat ProjectS2 for the production of 1500 Megawatt and 100 million water gallons per day. Abu Dhabi aims to raise power generationcapacity by 35 percent within five years, but may face challenges in attracting foreign firms as competition for projectsacross the Gulf Arab region heats up. Demand will rise almost 80 percent in the same period to 10,600 MW, while capacityreaches 12,503 MW in 2010, Director of Privatisation Abdulla Al Nuaimi stated that industry was facing challenges tomeet growth needs due to a lack of contractors to build new power plants. Demand for power in the world�s largestoil-exporting region is surging on population growth and commercial and industrial expansions fuelled by record oil prices.Projects across the region have increasingly suffered delays over the last two years as soaring construction costs, labourshortages and a lack of qualified contractors have hit market. To mitigate those challenges, ADWEA is staggering thebid process for two new power plants to the west of the emirate and in the process of constructing the world�s largestdrainage system, starting from Abu Dhabi Corniche Road, passing through Airport Road until it reaches the new sewagetreatment plant at AL Wathba.

India reached Second Position to Export to UAE

Emirates Industrial Bank (EIB), citing official UAE statistics show that India has reached the second position in the list

of exporters to the country for the first time since the UAE was created 37 years ago. Official figures show that China

was the top exporter to the UAE in 2007, while India became the second supplier of goods to the Gulf country for the

first time after its exports to the UAE rocketed by nearly seven times in five years. From only Dh 9.2 billion in 2002,

the UAE�s imports from India shot up to around Dh67bn in 2007.India�s exports last year accounted for nearly 16 per

cent of the UAE�s total imports of around Dh418.7bn. The figures showed India is rapidly narrowing the gap with China

and at current growth, it could be a serious threat to Beijing�s bid to maintain that position. The report said that there

are several factors for this increase, mainly the decline in the dirham against other currencies, mainly the UK pound

and the euro by more than 40 per cent and because of the sharp fall in the US dollar, to which the dirham is pegged.

This made imports from other countries, mainly Asian, more competitive.EIB figures showed China, which has been

storming into lucrative markets in the oil-rich region, maintained its position as the largest exporter to the UAE, with its

exports to the emirates soaring to an all-time high of Dh69.9bn in 2007, an increase of around 33.9 per cent over the

Dh 52.2 bn export value in 2006. The 2007 value accounted for nearly 16.7 per cent of the UAE�s total imports. From

around Dh 319.5 bn in 2006, the UAE�s total imports jumped by nearly 31 per cent to Dh418.7bn in 2007 to turn the

country into the largest market in the Middle East by overtaking Saudi Arabia.A surge in crude prices over the past few

years has allied with a sharp expansion in the non-oil sector to largely boost the UAE�s economy and catapult it to the

second place in the region after Saudi Arabia.

First Copper Rod Factory & New Cable Factory in UAE :

Dubai Cables Co. Ltd. (Ducab) inaugurated its first copper rod plant and the new cable factory at the Mussafah Industrial

Area. The $ 45 million copper rod plant, which is the first copper rod factory in the UAE, has a capacity of 110,000 tonnes

per annum which can be increased to 160,000 tonnes in the future. The two facilities were unveiled by Shaikh Hamed

bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Court and Chairman of the Higher Corporation for

Specialised Economic Zones (Zonescorp). A large number of dignitaries, including ministers, senior officials were present

on the occasion. Mr. Andrew Shaw, the Managing Director of Ducab said the new copper rod plant will take the raw

copper cathode and convert it to high quality 8mm diameter copper rod � the key raw material for cable manufacture.

By launching the two new plants, Ducab, which is jointly owned by the Dubai and Abu Dhabi governments, is on course


to achieving its strategic plan of meeting the growing demand of the local and regional markets for copper rod and power

cables of various voltages.

ADNOC started Sulphur Production

Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) Marketing and Refinery Directorate Sales Manager Dagher Al Murar has told

that mega gas projects under way in the UAE will nearly quadruple sulphur production within five years to more than

six million tonnes per year and turn UAE into one of the top producers of the substance. Sulphur output by ADNOC

is currently estimated at around 1.7 million tonnes and most of it is exported to North Africa and southeast Asia. As

a result of ambitious expansion plans by ADNOC and its group of companies, especially the sour gas field developments,

ADNOC is set to be among the largest sulphur producers worldwide by 2013, nearly four times the current production

of around 1.7 million tonnes per year. He said around 800,000 tonnes of the emirate�s sulphur output are exported to

end-users, mainly Morocco, Tunisia, Senegal and Jordan. Other quantities are destined to various Asian and African

markets such as India, South Africa, South East Asia, and China, which is considered the main driver in sulphur demand,

with an import of around 10 million tonnes per year. According to Al Murar, current sulphur prices have jumped more

than 10 fold over the average price of the first-quarter of 2007, reaching a record US$ 600 per metric tonne, the highest

level through history. He attributed the unprecedented price rise to a sharp increase of fertiliser demand worldwide, led

by the surge in bio-fuels production and the efforts to avoid shortfall in food and grain supply worldwide, which in turn

contributed to a sharp growth in sulphur demand and lack of sufficient supply.

ADSSC chief said that the seweragemaster plan which had been devised according to the needs of Abu Dhabi�s Vision 2030, envisages Dh 12 billion investmentsinto the sector in the coming five years. Abu Dhabi Sewerage Services Company (ADSSC) has awarded a Dh 160 millioncontract to Concorde Industries to design, fabricate, construct, and commission a membrane bioreactor sewage treatmentplant for the largest planned labour accommodation facility in the UAE. The facility will treat waste water from theConstruction Workers� Residential City (CWRC), a planned Dh 418 million labour compound in the Al Mafraq area of AbuDhabi. The plant will have the capacity to recycle used water and sewage of up to 30,000 cubic metres a day and willtreat the waste water produced by up to 32,000 workers, technicians and supervisors.
