WASHINGTON: The Biden-led US Government will not remove the higher import duties imposed by the Trump regime on Indian steel and aluminium products until the “fundamental issue’’ of excess capacity and the behaviours that gave rise to the problem are addressed, a senior US Government officialhassaid.
Washington has, however, taken note of the delays in issuance of visas due to disruptions caused by the Covid19pandemicandisdoublingdirecthires at its embassy in India to speed up the process, said Arun Venkataraman, US Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Global Markets, at a media briefing in NewDelhi.
Venkataraman said Washington was upbeat about its growing economic relations with New Delhi and the forthcoming visit of US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo in March — to convene the India-US CEO Forum and the US-India Commercial Dialogue with her Indian counterpart Piyush
Goyal — will be a launchpad for significantly enhanced engagement betweenthetwoGovernments.
The new PSE policy, detailed in the FY22 Budget, aims to minimise the presence of CPSEs, including financial institutions, and create a new investmentspacefortheprivatesector Indo-US trade crossed the $160billion threshold in 2021, but both governmentsbelieveitisfarshortofthe potential,hesaid.
“…we are working with the private sector to identify what are the strategic elements that we can change, to create theenvironmenttonotjusthitthat$500billion (India-US bilateral trade) target but move well past that in the long term… what barriers we can remove and what steps the governments can take… It’s our job as government to maximise the opportunities for businesses,”hesaid.
On the long-pending issue of resolvingtheadditionalimportdutiesof
25 per cent and 10 per cent imposed by the Trump Government on certain steel and aluminium products, respectively, from India and some other countries in 2018, Venkataraman said the US was committed to working with all its tradingpartnerstoaddresstheproblem atitssource.
“The situation that gave rise to the duty is a global situation caused by very few players that have distorted the global market through non-market practices, and, as a result, have created a situation of global excess capacity. The Section 232 investigations in the US identified the global excess capacity and the consequences for how steel from other countries was being pushed into the USasanationalsecuritythreat,posing an existential crisis for our steel and aluminium industry. The duties have been put in place to address those concerns and to ensure a certain capacity utilisation on the part of those industries,”hesaid.
NEW DELHI: India has contracted to export about 5.6 million tonnes of sugar since the Government said late last year that mills could ship up to 6.1 million tonnes of the sweetener by May, Government, trade and industry sourcessaid.
Dealers have already shipped about 2.5milliontonnesofthetotalcontracted quantity, said the sources, who asked not to be named because they are not authorisedtotalktothemedia.
Indian mills have exported almost
anequalamountofrawandwhitesugar, with the raw variety sold between $480 and $510 a tonne free on board (FOB) and white sugar at $485-$540 a tonneFOB,theysaid.
India, the world’s biggest producer of sugar and the second biggest exporter, sells the sweetener to countries across Asia, Africa and the MiddleEast.
After record exports of more than 11 million tonnes in the previous season to Sept. 30, 2022, the government allowed
mills to export only 6.1 million tonnes of thesweetenerinthecurrentseason.
Authorities said they could take a view on the second tranche of sugar exports after getting a clearer idea aboutlocalproduction.
The Government will assess production next month, the sources said.
The Indian Sugar Mills Association said that mills have produced nearly 4% more sugar since the current season startedonOct.1.

NEW DELHI: As the benefits of PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan — a digital platform mapping details of all infrastructure and logistic facilities in the Country on a geographic information system (GIS) map — becomes apparent, states are mapping their state-specific essential data, relevant for planning physical and social infrastructure on the National MasterPlan(NMP).
“All the States have come on board andaremappingsome29essential data layers related to their infrastructure and logistics facilities/assets on the NMP,” Mr. Surendra Ahirwar, Joint Secretary (Logistics Division), Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) told.
The data includes those related to land records, forest, wildlife, eco sensitive zones, Coastal Regulation Zone, reserve forest, water resources, rivers, embankments, canals, reservoirs dams, soil type seismicity, flood map, power transmission and distribution, mining areas, roads, water supply pipelines, sewer lines among others.
The logistics division of DPIIT is pilotingtheGatiShaktiMission.
A majority of the states, Ahirwar said, have also set up the institutional mechanism on the lines of PM Gati Shakti such as the empowered group of state secretaries and the Network Planning Group (NPG) to oversee the work that is being done. Under the PM Gati Shakti Mission, right at the top, there is an empowered group of secretaries headed by the cabinet secretary.
Next,thereisabodycalledtheNPG, which has the planning in-charges of seven infrastructure ministries as members. The body meets once a fortnight to look at all project proposals fromacoordinationpointofview.
“The states have set up their empowered group of secretaries and NPG.TheyhavealsocreatedtheirState Master Plan portal, which will eventually be integrated with the NationalMasterPlan,”hesaid.
Mapping the data layers, Ahirwar added, will help states plan their complementary infrastructure better. “For instance, if the PWD plans to lay a new road, it will be able to see in the
StateMasterPlanifthealignmentofthe proposed road is passing through a revenue land, reserve forest or eco sensitive zones. If it falls in some reserve forest land, the alignment can be altered at the planning stage itself. This will help cut delays and ensure smoothimplementationoftheproject.”
The Centre is hand-holding the states in readying their Master Plan and mapping data layers on it. Earlier this month, the Union Finance Ministry allocatedapproximately
Rs 5,000 crore of the Rs 1 lakh crore earmarked under the ‘Scheme for Special Assistance to States for Capital Investment for 2022-23’ to the states for undertaking infrastructure projects underthePMGatiShaktiMission.
So far, 28 states have submitted over 190 projects amounting to Rs 5,000 crore for approval to DPIIT. The projects include multimodal logistics parks, modern aggregation centres, critical connectivity infrastructure for providing last and first mile connectivity to industrial parks, economic zones, developmentofcitylogisticsplan,setting upofPMGatiShaktidatacentresamong others.
NEW DELHI : Responding to December, 2022 Trade Data, FIEO President, Dr A Sakthivel said that merchandise exports in negative territory is on expected lines as the challenges continue due to recession like situation, slowdown and rising inflation in most economies across the globe. Decline in merchandise exports is a reflection of the toughening global trade conditions on account of high inventories, economies entering recession, high volatility in currencies and geopolitical tensions. The drop in commodity prices and restriction on some exports, with a view to stem the price increase in the domestic market, have also affected the
growth numbers. Flight of capital from the market has also impacted the growth process. FIEO President is of the view that the coming months would be quite challenging unless both global economic growth and geopolitical situationimprovesdrastically.
However, decrease in imports is a good sign, which will put less burden on trade deficit front. We hope that the energy prices will come down further to providemorerelief,opinedFIEOChief.
Dr Sakthivel added that in the current situation, the focus should be on providing easy liquidity at competitive cost, extension of ECLGS for one more year till 31.3.2024 by suitably enhancing the moratorium period, restoration of the Interest Equalization support to 5%
and 3% respectively, IGST exemption on freight on exports, which lapsed on 30th September, extension of tenure of PCFC from180daysto365daysandnotification of RoDTEP rates for the holders of Advance Authorization, DFIA and EOU units. Further, the Federation is also of the view that the new TMA scheme for agri exporters and announcement on allocation of export development fund withacorpusofRs5000Crforaggressive overseas marketing by MSME to showcaseIndianproductsgloballyinthe upcoming budget is the need of the hour. He stressed on the need to support exports at the district level with sizeable budgetary support for the District as an Export Hub scheme to bridge the supply sidegaps.

MUMBAI: Importers in India last week took advantage of the rupee’s recovery against the dollar to hedge their future foreign currency obligations,datashowed.
Average dollar purchases by importers, beyond the spot date, rose to $1.64 billion last week from $1.14 billion the week before, latest data collated by The Clearing Corporation ofIndiaLtd(CCIL)revealed.
The CCIL publishes daily forward trades by clients with a two day lag on itswebsite.

US Federal Reserve will opt for a smaller interest rate increase on February 1 and that it was near to haltingitsrate-hikingcycle.
“Theoutlookontherupeeremains challengingandthedip(onUSD/INR) was a good opportunity, so volumes returned after the quiet first week of the year,” a foreign exchange sales head at a private bank, who did not want to be named because he is not allowedtospeaktomedia,said.
The rupee’s outlook has been hurt by India’s high trade deficit and weak portfolio flows. Trade deficit, which has cooled from a record of near $30 billion in July, remains high by historicalstandards.
India on Monday, 16th January
reported December merchandise trade deficit of $23.76. Meanwhile, foreign investors have taken out about $2 billion from Indian equities anddebtsofarthismonth.

NEW DELHI: India is likely to substantially top up the allocation for ongoing Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes in the February 1 budget after seeing good results, said people with knowledge of the matter. Some new sectors may be included in the programme that seeks to reignite manufacturing in India and boost exports,alongwithothermeasuresto spurinvestments.
Allocations for sectors that have seen a high impact on the ground under active PLI schemes such as electronic manufacturing and IT hardware could be raised. Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman had in the FY22 budget announced 1.97 lakh crore for PLI schemes that now cover 14 key sectors. This incentive amount, which is for the five-year
period beginning FY22, may be raised inthebudget.
"Overall allocation under PLI could be enhanced... It is a scheme thatisseentobemakinganimpacton the ground," said one of the persons citedabove.
India is keen to send strong signals to global manufacturers eyeing supply chain diversification under their China+1 strategy about its intent to offer an attractive factory ecosystem.
The budget may also extend the lower corporate tax rate of 15% available for new manufacturing investmentsforafewmoreyears.
"Measures to encourage private investment will be one of the areas in focus," said the person cited above,
adding that expanding PLIs is one such measure being actively considered. This would be complemented by easing compliances in multiple areas, the personsaid.
Experts said the government should look at building upon the successoftheprogramme.
"In a short span of time PLI schemes have evinced good interest from businesses and investors," said Vikas Vasal, national managing partner, tax, Grant Thornton Bharat. "There is a need to increase the coverage by adding more sectors to boost manufacturing and exports, besides increasing the outlay in some oftheexistingsectors."
