NEW DELHI: Addressing the annual convention and 95th AGM of FICCI, Union Minister Shri Nitin Gadkari promised that logistics cost, which is 16 per cent of GDP presently, will fall to single digits, up to 9 per cent of GDP by the end of 2024. "It is going to help us get more exports", the Minister said, addingnowisthetimetoincreaseour business and presence in the internationalmarket.
The Minister further stated that before the end of 2024, India's road infrastructure would be equal to the Americanstandard.
MinisterGadkariaddedIndiaison the path to building an inclusive Bharat by following the vision of the Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi by boosting investment, economic growth, and employment creation to achieve sustainable development. However, "we need to have cooperation, coordination and communication betweenallstakeholders",hesaid.
Inaddition,ShriGadkarinotedthe research in battery chemistry and
said, "we should be the leaders in the sector". He added that the government aims to double the automobile sector to Rs.15lakh crores. "This will create new jobs and make India one of the biggest automobile manufacturers in the world", he said. Moreover, underscoring the importance of sustainability in the construction sector, he noted, "we are trying to minimise the use of cement and steel in construction work by adopting substitutes like fly ash, oil slag, waste plastics,demolitionwaste.
Minister Gadkari invited FICCI to prepare a comprehensive growth plan for the next fifty years for all sectors.
On occasion, Mr Sanjiv Mehta, President, FICCI, noted that the "all-inclusive, all-pervasive, and all-round development initiatives" of the government are transforming India, with each step bringing the nation closer to Aatmanirbhar Bharat. He added that the National Logistics Policy would be instrumental in creating an
integrated pathway towards economic development. Moreover, he said, "the increased spending on infrastructure development is leading to a multiplier effect in rejuvenating the aggregate demand intheeconomy."
"Infrastructure construction alone has the potential to contribute 25 per cent of incremental growth non-farm jobs by 2030", he added. He also drew attention to India's Century - achieving sustainable, inclusive growth, a unique FICCI initiative supported by the McKinsey & Co. to establish a roadmap for India forthenext25years.
Mr Subhrakant Panda, President-elect, FICCI, underlined several policies that will catalyse the national economy by driving growth in allied sectors, like housing, steel, and cement. These include PM GatiShakti for integrated infrastructure development worth Rs 7.5 lakh crore in FY23, construction of 65000 kilometres of national highways, and National Infrastructurepipeline.
NEW DELHI: Merchandise exports barely inched up in November from a year before to $32 billion but they reversed a steep contraction witnessed in the previous month in the wake of a demandslowdowninkeymarkets.
The Commerce Ministry said imports grew 5.4% on year in November to$55.9billion,leadingtoatradedeficitof $23.9billion,lowerthantheOctoberlevel of $26.9 billion. Exports in November last yearstoodat$31.8billion.
With this, goods exports in the first eight months of FY23 touched $295.3 billion, up 11.1% from a year earlier, while imports grew 29.5% to $493.6 billion, mainly due to robust
growthearlierthisfiscal.
Exports had shrunk 16.7% in October, the first drop in 20 months and theworstsinceMay2020.
Exports dropped in 15 of the 30 key segments, against 24 in the previous month. However, some segments have performed relatively well. These include electronics (growth of 54.5%), rice (19.2%), garments (11.7%), drugs and pharmaceuticals (8.7%)andgemsandjewellery(4.6%).
The easing growth in imports suggests domestic consumption of goods may be slowing after the revenge purchasesearlierthisfiscal.
Commerce SecretarySunil Barthwal had last month said that strong external headwinds were impacting consumption worldwide, which would have an impact on India’s exports as well. The aggressive interest rate hikes by the US and Europe to tame runaway inflation there is also weighing down demand for merchandise globally, he suggested.
The restrictions on exports of nonbasmati rice and the ban on those of wheat to ease domestic inflation have also contributed to the export decline. Even export curbs on select steel products and iron ore were listed only latelastmonth.
NEW DELHI: The Government is closely monitoring imports of non-essential products with a view to enhancing domestic production of those items, a senior official of the Commerce Ministry said recently. Containing these imports would also help reduce the trade deficit, which has reached USD 198.35 billion during April-November 2022 as against USD 115.39 billion in April-November 2021.
While talking to reporters, Additional Secretary in the
CommerceMinistryLSatyaSrinivas
"Indian exports are showing great resilience despite challenges", he said. "Indiaisstillabrightspot."
Another official said the Ministry sends information of import surge on monthly basis to all Line Ministries and Departments.
TheLineMinistrieswouldnominate nodal officers to coordinate with the DepartmentofCommerceontheissue.
The strategy, he said, is to address
domestic supply rigidities by enhancing local capacities and production opportunitiesforthoseitems.
"Global growth and trade prospects continue to be gloomy with headwinds resulting in weak global demand, therefore slowdown in exports growth while India's domestic demand continues to be robust with continuing growthofimports.
"There will be a pressure on the tradedeficit.TheGovernmentisclosely monitoring imports -- especially non-essentialimports,"theofficialsaid.
