Immediate attention required on infrastructure to boost exports

The recent economic survey 2012-‐13 has highlighted that India needs to pay immediate attention on issues related to infrastructure, trade facilitation, taxes and credit in order to boost the country's exports. Indian export has been performing badly since May 2012, albeit some improvement in recent months. In the face of exchange rate volatility, competition on price front is ambiguous. Moreover, due to various free trade agreements, tariff barriers are losing priority to boost competitiveness. So the cost aspects, such as port-‐specific and sector -‐ specific issues, need urgent attention. On infrastructure front, it is said that even the best Indian ports do not have the state-‐of-‐the-‐art technology as in Singapore and China. On trade facilitation front, the survey pointed out that there is a need to simplify the multiple documentation procedures as on an average, Indian exporter is required to sign at about 130 places to complete an export transaction. The procedures and transaction costs need to be reduced to the barest minimum (Economic Survey 2013-‐13). Trade facilitation (soft infrastructure) has been found a statistically significant factor affecting trade flow. World Bank study, found that 10 per cent improvement in export custom procedures would enhance the export performance by 15.8 per cent and 17.1 per cent for the merchandise exports and manufactured exports respectively (Broadman 2007). In the same way, an increase in internet services by 10 per cent in the exporter country would enhance the exports of all products and manufactured products by 1.9 per cent and 2.2 per cent respectively (Broadman 2007). The sensitivity (elasticity) of Indian exports to trade facilitation is more than to the tariff rate as per the estimation of the gravity model carried out by the authors. The soft infrastructure can be improved in the short run with some conscious efforts for better coordination of various agencies involved in trade and capacity-‐building programmes of the staff. E-‐trading/filing should be given priority. Likewise, enhancing capacity to meet sanitary and phyto-‐sanitary and technical standards will go a long way in boosting export growth.

Renewable Energy: Way to go

While turning young engineering and management graduates into entrepreneurs is often piped as crucial for our country striving for sustainability in our energy needs is also imperative. Aaron Eipe John, a student of M Tech. (Energy systems), College of Engineering Studies (CoES, UPES), perhaps aims to have a shot at both! Aaron, a mechanical engineer (B.E.) from Anna University in the year 2011 is a budding technocrat who dreams of making products which run on renewable energy sources.

Some of the projects he has worked on include a ‘Fuel efficient kiln’, ‘Cheap energy efficient passive solar tracking using water’, ‘Pneumatic bike designed for petroleum industries’, ‘Mechanical regenerative Braking on a 4-‐wheeler’, ‘Non degradable hydrocarbon waste to fuel conversion’, “Hydrogen Fuel supplement for diesel engines” etc. Aaron is presently working on designing and fabrication of a project titled “Heat to Refrigeration in Automobiles and Air-‐conditioners” which involves both CoES and CoMES for designing and marketing the technology. Putting such innovative ideas into practice for using renewable energy is what the budding entrepreneurs and technocrats of our country should take a lead from.

FIGHTING CORROSION IN PIPELINE NETWORK THE SRB WAY

The souring of wells and corrosion of pipelines are major problems causing huge financial losses to all oil companies all over the world. The prime corrosion causing factor in pipeline networks has been the Sulphate Reducing Bacteria (SRB) also known as Desulfovibrio Desulfuricans. This is because it is involved heavily in the processes of H₂S production oil reservoirs. SRB’s are more pronounced in the case of water injection pipelines than in the oil pipelines. These have the capability of producing enzymes which increases the power to reduce sulphate compounds and form H₂S. The SRB acts a catalyst in the reduction reaction. This specific reduction process occurs under the presence of the following four components: a) SRBs b) Sulphates c) External energy source in the form of free electrons and d) The temperature of water should be less than 65 °c. Detailed microbiological studies have suggested that sea water when mixed with formation water supports the significant production of sulphides. For detecting SRBs the most accepted technique adopted by the oil and gas industry is the API RP 386 method of SRB culture. SRB constitute a diverse group of microorganisms often interrelated only by their ability to reduce sulphates to sulphides in anaerobic conditions. The API RP 386 technique grows only lactate using SRB and it requires an incubation period of 28 days for the final conclusion. Thus to fight the SRBs, rapid and accurate detection from the samples of the various pipelines are necessary. 1.Different classes of bactericides are injected @400 PPM in various pipelines on weekly basis to arrest the growth of SRBs in pipelines and reservoirs. 2.The pigging programs for various pipelines are also chalked out depending on the SRB detection studies. Cushions of bactericide in sufficient quantity between two pigs are injected. This methodology is very effective in restricting the growth of SRBs. Biocides for treating SRBs must be determined based on the effectiveness to kill planktonic and sessile microorganisms with minimum concentration level dosing and should be compatible with the pipeline fluids and should adhere to the environmental guidelines.

AIRPORT INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE ERA OF PRIVATIZATION

The Indian market is underserved with less than 3% of its total population using the air transportation. The growth in passenger and cargo traffic indicates the possibility of healthy Load Factors (LFs) for all airlines in the next decade. This growth has created a significant pressure to upgrade the country’s airport infrastructure. By opening up this sector for private participation, the challenges of financing have been dealt through competitive bids, be it the case of Brownfield or Greenfield PPP airports. Therefore, this is a good time for global players to enter the Indian aviation market to target not only the busy trunk routes but also the potential market which is not served. On the other side, the state-‐owned, Airports Authority of India (AAI) has also continued its effort to modernize and redevelop several airports in the country. The XII Five Year Plan allocated about INR 13,000 crores to the AAI, for modernization of the Kolkata and Chennai airports, which was recently accomplished and are on the verge of privatization. The Indian Government is constantly looking at different ways to support the increased infrastructure pressures for a second airport at Delhi and Bangalore along with a plan of a third airport. The Aviation climate in India needs to ensure the healthy growth of Airlines, together with the Airport operators and allied service providers; in the meantime building infrastructure along with avionics, aviation equipment capabilities and technology of Indian industry. For any nation, infrastructure steers the growth and is a matter of pride may it be roadways, railways or airports. Thus, development of airport infrastructure is the need of the hour in India.

PANCHTANTRA MODEL OF DELIVERY – FINISHED GOODS

ITC Limited being one of the most diversified players in the FMCG industry, does not leave any stone untouched when it comes to the delivery of finished goods to the customers. There are total 5 ways, which ITC adopts to make sure that the finished goods are delivered to the customers on time, as per demand along with a pinch of sheer delight. K0 – When the goods are delivered directly from factory to the door step of retailer. Whenever a product which is less variable in terms of demand is running high in terms of sales is delivered directly to the retailer to save time and to avoid sale loss. K1 – When from factory, goods are sent directly to distributors, we call it as K1 format of delivery. Generally the products which are less variable in terms of demand . K2 – When goods are transferred from factory to Hub for temporary storage purpose or when for the purpose of stock equalization (particularly in case of Cigarettes), the stock moves within hubs, comes under K2 format. K3 – This is the most common format of delivering goods to customers, where in a hub, demand (based upon push marketing strategy) of a customer for different SKUs in small quantity is consolidated to make an FTL. SAP based TPVS model plays an immense role. K4 – This is the format, which we define for the delivery of goods from Distributors to Retailers.
