Powder Coa�ng is one of the fastest growing industries in India, with empha�c focus on low VOC and solvent free coa�ng. The industry is bound to grow and find new applica�ons and a�ract innova�on in technologies. Needless to say, with the Indian Economy des�ned to grow the fastest in the world �ll 2020, both manufacturing and services industries associated with Powder Coa�ngs are in an apt posi�on to rejuvenate and update themselves with the latest in technological advancements and benefit from it.

The en�re gathering of over 275 delegates par�cipated in the same, and diverse views from across the spectrum were captured making for an extremely enriching session.

The next speaker was Pankaj Verma of Grasim Industries Limited (Epoxy Division), who spoke on Solid Epoxy Resins for Powder Coa�ngs. He spoke of how their special grade of solid epoxy systems scored over conven�onal ones, illustra�ng the same in various hybrid chemistry formula�ons.

He spoke of the needs and so lu�ons us ing powder coa�ngs in both interior and exterior environments to help save energy. He spoke of the typical problems faced therein and how their products and solu�ons could help solve the same.

and certain sec�ons of ins�tu�onal customers. The basic points for discussion were:- sourcing considera�ons for MNCs opera�ng in India and likewise global approvals from India, cost-quality considera�ons and trade-offs, joint development ini�a�ves between powder users and manufacturers, evolu�on of technology over the years and opportuni�es for SMEs.

The concluding paper for the day was by Dilip Raghavan of Pain�ndia, who presented an overview of the powder coa�ngs industry in India. His presenta�on first looked at the Global and Asia-Pacific coa�ngs scenario, both in general and specific to powders, before coming

homewards to India.

GST SEMINAR IPCA MAHARASHTRA

Goods and Service Tax Seminar

Indian Paint & Coa�ng Associa�on,Maharashtra Region.

Venue: Gujara� Club, Mumbai. Dt: 16th June`2017

GST is one of the boldest reforms in post independence India. Goods and service Tax will facilitate the movement of c o m m o d i � e s a n d l e a d t o expansion of economic ac�vity. It will not only aid the ease of doing business but also re-engineer business process of c o m p a n i e s . T h e G S T w i l l facilitate "Make in India" by "Making One India." With guaranteed implementa�on of GST from 1st July`2017 this seminar was aptly �med and relevant.

The seminar which was a�ended

by more than 185 delegates started at 4.00 PM. Mr. Nishit Mehta the convenor for the event welcomed the delegates. He invited the Chairman Mr. Jaydeep Nagrecha on the dias. The chairman in his speech stressed the importance of the seminar. He informed the m e m b e r s t h a t p r o p e r understanding of the GST act will help in be�er compliance of the law. He requested the members to ask detailed ques�ons to take maximum benefit of the session.

T h e n M r. N i s h i t M e h t a introduced the speaker Mr. Parth

Shah from M/s. S. B. Gabhawalla & Co. Mr. Parth is an expert in the GST law. Having held numerous seminars he is capable of answering a wide range of industry specific queries as related to GST seminar.

He started with a confirma�on t h a t G S T w i l l s u r e l y b e implemented on 1st July`2017. There would be three taxes namely CGST & SGST for Intra-state sales. For inter-state transac�ons it would be IGST. The IGST rate will be equal to the total of SCGT and CGST. The Indian government is going to

fol low the system of dual taxa�on, with both the state and centre having the power to levy taxes. But the biggest is relief is that there will be single taxing event. At the �me of supply or prepara�on of sale invoice the tax liability will be triggered. Earlier the tax liability was based on the origin of goods whereas GST is a des�na�on based tax. Also there will be credit of all taxes paid on input. All this will be computed online.

Mr. Parth, explained in great detail the impact analysis of GST f r o m p o i n t o f v i e w s o f

Manufacturers, Traders and Service providers. According to him the impact will be largely posi�ve for the industry.

The main basics for determining

the GST is based on the loca�on of supplier and place from where supply is made and also the place of supply, where the supply is received.

Communica�ons) like emailers, IPCA Gleaner, C2R, or vast delega�ons and �e-ups with fastest growing economies of the world, or the impressive increase in memberships, at the sheer number and grandeur of various KSS and Residen�al Conferences, it has been record years that has given new direc�on to IPCA. Mr. Bhasin then played a very beau�fully made twenty minutes video that gave a glimpse on various ac�vi�es. It was very well received by the audience.

He then introduced and invited the President of IPCA Mr. Ja�n Aggarwal to give his Presiden�al address.

Mr. Ja�n Aggarwal enumerated the path breaking measures that IPCA took during the last 1-2 years and the immaculate team work and relentless pursuit of o u r g o a l s t h a t m a d e t h e consistent success possible. These new innova�ve ideas and the proac�ve execu�on of the ideas and events has been the key for the success of IPCA. But perhaps the biggest reason the history being made has been the ethos and principals and morality of the balance of “Tehzeeb and Tarraki” in the delegate fabric of culture of IPCA that has resulted i n w i d e a c c e p t a n c e a n d accolades for the fastest growing paint associa�on in India having more than 1400 members today.

Mr. Ja�n Aggarwal then gave his keynote speech, perhaps for the first �me when a President took the responsibility to deliver this coveted speech during the biennial. He enumerated the importance of re-innova�on to r e n o va t e o u r b u s i n e s s e s , products, services and core reasons for us to do business. He

gave a presenta�on on product life cycle, law of diffusion of innova�on, gave numerous corporate examples from history like that of Nokia, Blackberry, Bankruptcy of Kodak, effect of re-innova�ons in taxi services through Ola and Uber, Ne�lix compe�ng with Blockbuster, iTunes with CD industry, Baba R a m d e v, A p p l e ’s e y e f o r innova�on in Xerox mouse, etc. He then inspired the audience to think beyond the external threats and changes and adapt. Like that

of GST. He gave an example of Ms. Arunima Sinha the first female amputee to climb Mt. Everest. Mr. Ja�n Aggarwal was empha�c at the end to push forward that no one can ins�ll habits of developing the culture of rewarding innova�on in an organisa�on and that with the plethora of knowledge available on the net, we must first let go of our past baggage and then accept the urgency of change and then use the internet to redesign and gain knowledge to re-innovate to renovate.

Mr. Ja�n Aggarwal, President IPCA then announced the proud recipients of IPCA Life Time

Achievement Awards for 2017. It has been a tradi�on of giving our respect to stalwarts of the industry and associa�on who have inspired the fraternity by their service. Mr. Vijay Bansal of Superlac Paints and Mr. Surender Duggal of Bharat Solvents were given this treasured trophy by Patron and Past President Mr. Anil Khanna and Patron and Past President Mr. Ashok Gaind.

As a part of the core team that delivered this mega conference he had the insight into the corusca�ng and extraordinary teams and people who had worked with a lot of zeal to make a conference of such magnitude possible.

Exhibi�onOne of the unique highlights of IPCA Biennial 2017 was the beau�fully organised Exhibi�on next to the Seminar venue.

higher. Besides many defects like coagula�on, se�ling, pH dri�, colour change, the paint film sees loss of adhesion, gloss, colour and integrity. The tradi�onal methods are Dip Slides, Streak Paltes, Dilu�on pla�ng, MPN etc. There are more advanced and accurate methods like ATP, DNA based or iden�fica�on of the right microbes, their quan�ty

and dosages required. Microbial control means keeping clean product clean. Sustainable preserva�ve is one which does the job without harming the environment. All water based industry products need biocides. Besides CIT, MIT, CMIT, new technologies l ike MBIT are making their way in India.

With the choicest hotels like Marrio� at Shanghai and Holiday Inn in Beijing, including all sight seeings and meals, IPCA's package also h a d t h e m o s t d i v e r s e representa�on of ambassadors from all parts of India.

IPCA partnered with MSME for the tour to China Coat 2017. Delegates, were led by two enthusias�c tour leaders from LTA Tours , New Delh i and Mumbai.

The group had members from different parts of India such as

Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, U�ar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, West Bengal and Karnataka etc. There were two separate departures with direct flights from New Delhi and Mumbai to Beijing followed by onward journey to Shanghai. All delegates met at the scenic and historic city of Beijing on 1 2 t h o f N o v e m b e r 2 0 1 7 . Weather in Beij ing was an absolute delight with enabling treasured visits to the Great Wall of China and apt to enjoy carefully selected local and Indian cuisines. The next day was kept to enjoy tours to the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square. China is a fascina�ng place to travel and with the company of a joyous group from India, it is always a bliss. Bonding of the delegates in the relaxed environment was a pleasure to see. Truly, our coa�ng fraternity has common shades, bonds and threads that are deeper than just our glorious na�on and our businesses.

Next, was the core purpose of the de lega�on, Shangha i . The delega�on reached Shanghai a night before the opening of China Coat 2017. The Hotel was just 20 minutes away from the venue,

the recently opened Courtyard by Marrio�.

To all those who did not visit China Coat 2017, the key take away was that this �me it was a massive affair. Rough es�mates would be that perhaps it was 30% larger in exhibi�on space, with three new halls accommoda�ng many new exhibitors showcasing paint and coa�ngs raw materials. On the opening day, ge�ng in the fair ground was a breeze for IPCA delegates with personalised VIP passes being provided to the delegates. On 15th November 2017, the opening day of China Coat, there was a massive crowd that slowly shrunk over the next two days.

China Coat had many new

insights this �me. Key posi�ves was a empha�c focus on hybrids and water based technologies, perhaps due to the strict EPA and SHE norms in China. Due to similar reasons, and shortage of key raw materials, prices of most of the paint raw materials was showing an upward trend. It seems that China's compe��ve edge in comparison to EU and India is shrinking. But, the capaci�es of plants and the knack of producing niche products in bulk, keeps China Coat as a must visit.

IPCA delegates were treated to finger licking working lunches during the fair to give them an energe�c boost and to ensure that they con�nue their pursuit of knowledge and business. In the evening there were visits and trips for cruise on Huangpu River, shopping drops, visit to thefoggy but beau�ful 94th floor of the World Financial Centre, a cultural show, and on the last night of the tour, a gala dinner to celebrate the camaraderie and to share fond memories with each other. T h e g r o u p r e t u r n e d w i t h pleasant memories of the trip with a hope of profitable returns from their mee�ngs and the knowledge of latest technologies gathered from China Coat.
