Piyush Goyal asks auto component industry to reduce import dependency
M U M B A I : C o m m e r c e a n d
Industry Minister Piyush Goyal has asked the auto component industry to start manufacturing machines and reduce import dependency on foreign countries.
“Why should we be dependent on foreign countries, especially some c o u n t r i e s w i t h n o n - m a r k e t economies or non-transparent economic practices? Why should we be dependent on them for the equipment and machinery that our industry needs?” Goyal said at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025 Components Show.
The Minister said that certain companies in India that are still importing automobile components
will be out of competition as domestic products are more competitive than foreign ones.
He further urged the industry to c o n s i d e r c o l l a b o r a t i o n s w i t h Switzerland, given the country’s expertise in building machines “Many of them are wanting to invest in India because they have a $100 billion investment commitment as foreign direct investment,” the Minister said.
Under the India-European Free Trade Association (EFTA) free trade agreement (FTA) signed last year, E F TA n a t i o n s h a v e m a d e a n investment commitment of $50 billion within 10 years of the agreement taking effect and an additional
$50 billion in the next five years. The bloc comprises Iceland, Switzerland, Norway, and Liechtenstein.
The Minister urged the industry to s c a l e u p t h e p r o d u c t i o n o f components for electric vehicles (EVs) as significant opportunities exist. “I do believe that the time is right to make a five-year action plan on how we are going to move to EVs and by 2030 demonstrate to the world that India is one country that, when we decide on something, we achieve it,” he said, adding that EVs address the challenge of climate change, reduce pollution, lessen India’s dependence on imported crude oil, help shape foreign exchange, and open new export markets.
BW LPG to start construction in April on India’s largest LPG Import Terminal at JN Port
MUMBAI: BW LPG Ltd, the world’s top owner and operator of LPG vessels, including Very Large Gas Carriers (VLGCs), will start test piling in February on what would be the largest liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) on shore import terminal in p a r t n e r s h i p w i t h C o n f i d e n c e Petroleum India Ltd and Ganesh Benzoplast Ltd at state-owned Jawaharlal Nehru Port near Mumbai, a top official has said.
“We are now in the final stages of putting all the parts of the puzzle together with Confidence Petroleum and Ganesh Benzoplast,” Mr Kristian Sørensen, Chief Executive Officer, BW LPG Ltd was recently quoted in an interview in Mumbai.
“Ganesh Benzoplast being a terminal operator already is a vital partner for us and the same is with Confidence Petroleum which has got the offtake volumes to support that kind of investment in the terminal. We hope to start construction sometime in Q2,” Sorensen revealed.
A joint venture – 55 percent owned by BW Confidence Enterprise Pvt Ltd and 45 percent by Ganesh Benzoplast Ltd – will fund the construction of the
120,000 cubic metres (cbm) capacity terminal for handling and storing propane and butane.
When completed, the facility will be able to fully offload the latest fourth generation Very Large Gas Carriers (93,000 cbm) in a single discharge operation within 24 hours and will also have the potential to connect to the Uran Chakan pipeline to ensure competitive and efficient supply of LPG into India.
The consortium will utilise the LPG jetty run by state-owned Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL) at J N Port for importing LPG.
“BPCL has one unloading arm at the jetty, and we will be installing two of our own unloading arms along with laying the pipelines to the storage tanks to be constructed at the location of Ganesh Benzoplast’s tank farm in JN Port,” Sorensen said.
BW Confidence Enterprise Pvt Ltd is an equal joint venture formed by Oslo and New York-listed BW LPG and Mumbai-listed Confidence P e t r o l e u m I n d i a t o e x p l o r e investment opportunities in onshore LPG import infrastructure. The JV will collaborate with BW LPG’s
trading division as well as its India subsidiary, BW Product Services and BW LPG India respectively, to source a n d d e l i v e r L P G f r
m t h e international markets to meet Confidence Petroleum and India’s growing LPG import needs.
N
Petroleum currently runs 68 LPG bottling and blending plants and about 287 auto LPG dispensing stations across India, making it the largest private player in auto gas and LPG bottling plants Confidence Petroleum plans to scale up the auto LPG dispensing stations to about 500 over the next few years.
M u m b a i - l i s t e d G a n e s h
Benzoplast is one of India’s top liquid storage facility providers with a total tankage capacity of 3.3 lakh kilo litres across three ports. It is the single largest logistics service provider in liquid commodities in the Mumbai region.
BW LPG India, a subsidiary of BW LPG, runs a fleet of eight LPG carriers and is the largest owner and operator of Indian-flagged Very Large Gas Carriers (VLGCs).

India’s regulatory system ensures transparent process for high-tech exports : DGFT Sarangi
BENGALURU : India’s Regulatory system is ensuring a robust and transparent process for exports of high-tech goods, a senior official said on Thursday.
Director General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) Santosh Kumar Sarangi said that IT-enabled processes, seamless licensing, and industry outreach will drive these exports while maintaining strong regulatory oversight.
Speaking at the National Conference on Strategic Trade Controls (NCSTC) 2025 at Bengaluru, Sarangi “emphasized the importance of India’s export control system in ensuring a robust, transparent process for high-tech exports”.
As part of the country’s strategic trade control system and in consonance with the provisions of international conventions, India regulates the exports of dual-use items, nuclear-related products, and military goods, including software and technology under the list. This list is notified by the DGFT under the Foreign Trade Policy.
According to an official statement, the conference focuses on underscoring the importance of effective strategic trade controls, showcasing India’s legal and regulatory system in this context, and exchanging best practices and relevant information on strategic trade controls, towards preventing the proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) and their delivery systems
Further, it will facilitate dialogue between government authorities and industry stakeholders, assessing and mitigating emerging risks associated with the export of these sensitive goods and technologies.
The export of dual-use SCOMET (Special chemicals, organisms, materials, equipment and technologies ) items has seen substantial growth in the last few years with the value of the authorisations issued doubling in 2024 compared to 2023.
U n d e r S C O M E T,
USD 2.8 billion have been issued by the DGFT as compared to USD 1 4 billion issued in 2023
MoPSW Secretary met with delegation from Hanwha Ocean, South Korea
N E W D E L H I : S h r i T . K . Ramachandran, Secretary, MoPSW, met with a delegation from Hanwha Ocean, South Korea, to discuss potential shipbuilding collaborations between India & Korea The meeting also explored opportunities to enhance partnerships between Indian shipyards & Hanwha Ocean.
High-ranking delegates from Korean shipbuilder Hanwha Ocean met with Indian shipbuilding authorities, raising expectations of potential collaboration to boost India’s shipbuilding industry.
The Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways announced Wednesday on social media that Hanwha’s delegation led by Senior Vice President Lee Jin-su visited the Ministry’s Secretary Shri T.K. Ramachandran to discuss o p p o r t u n i t i e s f o r s t r e n g t h e n i n g partnerships between the company and Indian shipyards.
The meeting came after the Korean delegation visited Hindustan Shipyard, a state-run shipbuilding company in Andhra Pradesh, eastern India, earlier this week. However, some industry insiders believe it is premature to anticipate Korean companies engaging in joint shipbuilding operations in India They cite that similar expectations of significant progress in shipbuilding collaboration arose when Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi visited HD Hyundai Heavy Industries shipyard in Ulsan in 2015.
“India is seeking a model to learn from to boost its shipbuilding industry, and its close contact with Korean industries may stem from the fact that Korea is the only country with a strong shipbuilding capability following its rise as an advanced nation,” said an industry insider.
The above vessel is expected at MDPT (MUNDRA) with Import cargo from DALIAN, MELBOURNE, NINGBO, SHANGHAI

Exports to China saw sharpest fall in December, shows data
NEW DELHI: India’s outbound shipments to four of top 10 export destinations – United Arab Emirates (UAE), the Netherlands, China, and Singapore – contracted in December last year, which led to a decline of 1 per cent to $38 billion in the country’s overall merchandise exports, data from the Commerce Department showed.
Exports to China witnessed the sharpest decline at 26.15 per cent, followed by the Netherlands at 25.89 per cent, UAE at 23 per cent, and S i n g a p o r e a t 1 0 9 5 p e r c e n t , respectively.
Alternatively, the US continued to
remain India’s largest export market followed by the UAE, and the Netherlands, despite the December contraction. Countries that saw an uptick in exports included the United States (8 49 per cent), United Kingdom (6.13 per cent), Saudi Arabia (50.46 per cent), Bangladesh (33.58 per cent), Germany (3.85 per cent), and Australia (45.86 per cent).
These 10 countries comprised 51 per cent of India’s total value of goods exported in December 2024.
On the other hand, in the same period, India’s overall imports witnessed 4 9 per cent growth at $59.95 billion, led by a jump in inbound
s h i p m e n t s f r o m
top 10 import destinations – China, Russia, Iraq, Switzerland, and the US.
Growth in the inbound shipments from Switzerland was the sharpest at 85.65 per cent in December, majorly driven by gold imports. It was followed by the US (9.88 per cent, China (9.14 per cent), Iraq (3.72 per cent), and Russia (0.96 per cent), the data showed.
India’s import dependency went down in some countries including–UAE (-2.97 per cent) Saudi Arabia (-15.49 per cent), Indonesia (-19.68 per cent), South Korea (-9.28 per cent), and Singapore (-17.38 per cent).
Rail operators likely to post double-digit growth in FY25: India Ratings
MUMBAI: Rail operators’ revenue is expected to grow into double-digit, while warehousing sector is projected to log a 3-5 per cent year-on-year growth in organic rentals this fiscal even as the demand for Grade-A space may remain intact, ratings agency India Ratings said on Friday
For sea transport, the ratings agency said, it is expecting port volumes will be supported by the coastal movement of goods and global container freight, with the easing of geopolitical tensions, including the Red Sea crisis and the normalisation of USbound traffic.
EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) for container freight stations is expected to remain range-bound due to the increase in the proportion of direct port delivery and high competition intensity at large ports, according to Ind-Ra (India Ratings).
Ind-Ra has also assigned an improving outlook for the logistics industry for FY26 and said that macrotailwinds arising from the government’s multipolar investments across ports, rail, road, and air transport are expected to bode well for the industry
Sustained investments and the resultant increased scale of operations are expected to improve cost efficiency and operational flexibility which could lead to higher profitability for Ind-Rarated integrated logistics companies,
said Pratik Mundhada, Associate Director, Corporates, Ind-Ra.
“In Ind-Ra’s base case, we see double-digit revenue growth for rail operators in FY26, supported by huge private investments in rakes and dry terminals in 2024 For warehousing entities, we project organic rental growth of 3 -5 per cent year-on-year while demand for Grade-A spaces is expected to remain intact in Fy26,” he stated.
C o n t a i n e r f r e i g h t s t a t i o n s ’ profitability, according to Mundhada, is likely to remain subdued in this fiscal due to intense competition.
“Lastly, for freight forwarders, revenue growth and EBITDA are likely to be impacted by a moderation in the global freight rates,” he added.
The ratings agency noted that initiatives such as the National Logistics Policy and the PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan aim to enhance multimodal connectivity and foster interdisciplinary coordination.
Further, it stated that public-private partnerships are expected to expected to scale-up the ports portfolio.
Also, increased private capital expenditure towards the network expansion of trains, dry terminals, and warehousing will support the growth of the logistics market in India, it said and a d d e d t h a t I n d i a ’ s L o g i s t i c s Performance Index ranking improved to 38 in 2023 from 44 in 2018, with an
aspiration to break into the top 25 by 2030 as part of Maritime Vision 2030.
This will necessitate a reasonable budgetary allocation towards logistics infrastructure in the upcoming budget, it said.
Ind-Ra said it believes the full c o m m i s s i o n i n g o f t h e We s t e r n Dedicated Freight Corridor will improve the utilisation of rakes and terminals, thereby enhancing the operating profitability of container train operators.
O n t h e f l i p s i d e , i n c r e a s e d competition and revisions of haulage charges will remain key monitorable. The Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor is likely to improve supply chain efficiency for thermal plants, led by increased speed and scheduled train operations, it said.
Ratings on logistics and supply chain companies are mostly on a “Stable Outlook”, given the sustenance of operational performance, while maintaining a comfortable leverage profile, Ind-Ra said.
“While we see capital investments by logistics infrastructure companies including warehousing, rail and dry terminals, their ability to raise longterm debt at a competitive pricing and Ind-Ra’s expectation that these companies will be able to optimise the asset utilisation are supporting their credit profile and thereby the Stable rating Outlook,” it said.
World Bank estimates Indian Economy to grow at 6.7% for next two fiscal years
WASHINGTON : India’s Economic Growth is projected to remain steady at 6.7 per cent per annum for the next the two fiscals beginning April 2025, according to the World Bank‘s latest growth estimates for South Asia.
Growth in South Asia is expected to rise to 6.2 per cent in 2025-26, with the projected firm growth in India, the World Bank said on Thursday
“In India, growth is projected to remain steady, at 6.7 per cent a year for the two fiscal years beginning in April 2025,” it said.
“The services sector is expected to enjoy sustained expansion, and manufacturing activity will strengthen, supported by government initiatives to improve the business environment. Investment growth is projected to be steady, with moderating public investment offset by rising private investment,” the bank said.
Growth in India is projected to soften to 6 5 per cent in fiscal year 2024/25 (April 2024 to March 2025), reflecting a slowdown in investment and weak manufacturing growth, it said.
“However, private consumption growth has remained resilient, primarily driven by improved rural incomes accompanied by a recovery of agricultural output,” the World Bank said.
Excluding India, growth in the region is estimated to have picked up to 3 9 per cent in 2024, mainly reflecting recoveries in Pakistan and Sri Lanka, supported by improved macroeconomic policies that were adopted to address earlier economic difficulties
Kerala to be transformed into a Hub of Maritime Excellence : Governor
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM :
The State Government of Kerala is d e t e r m i n e d i n i t s v i s i o n t o transform the State into a Hub of Maritime Excellence. As part of this vision, the Kerala Maritime Board is advancing coastal shipping and non-major port operations through i n n o v a t i v e P u b l i c - P r i v a t e Partnership models at Vizhinjam, Kollam, Beypore and Azhikkal p o r t s , G o v e r n o r R a j e n d r a Vishwanath Arlekar said during the
policy address at the Stae Assembly here
Steps have been taken to register and survey mechanised inland vessels, and ensure safety and security for crew, passengers and tourists, apart from enhancing the State’s maritime infrastructure
T h e Vi z h i n j a m I n t e r n a t i o n a l
Multipurpose Seaport, a landmark achievement for Kerala, began commercial operations on December 3, 2024, becoming India’s first
deepwater international container transshipment terminal. By reducing logistics costs and i n c r e a s i n g I n d i a ’ s e x p o r t competitiveness, Vizhinjam is emerging as a pivotal global trade hub The State government is committed to leveraging Vizhinjam’s thriving commercial ecosystem to drive industrial production, stimulate economic growth and to mark Kerala’s presence in the global maritime sector, he said.
Weaker rupee to push India’s import bill, says Global Trade Research Initiative
NEW DELHI: The weaker rupee will push the country’s import bill due to higher payments for crude oil, coal, v e g e t a b l e o i l , g o l d , d i a m o n d s , electronics, machinery, plastics, and chemicals, economic think tank Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) said on Friday (January 17, 2025).
Citing an example, it said the depreciating domestic currency will increase India’s gold import bill, especially as global gold prices have jumped 31.25%,, rising from $65,877 per kg in January 2024 to $86,464 per kg in January 2025.
Since January 16, last year, the Indian Rupee (INR) has weakened by 4.71% against the U.S. dollar, falling from Rs. 82.8 to Rs. 86.7.
In the last ten years, between
January 2015 and 2025, the INR has weakened by 41.3% against the U.S. dollar, falling from Rs. 41.2 to Rs 86 7, the GTRI said in its report
In comparison, the Chinese Yuan depreciated by 3.24%, from Yuan 7.10 to Yuan 7.33.
“Overall, weaker INR will inflate import bills, raise energy and input prices, leading to an overheated economy. Past ten-year export data says that weak INR does not help exports contrary to what economists say,” GTRI Founder Ajay Srivastava said.
He added that while conventional wisdom suggests that a weaker currency should boost exports, India’s decade-long data tells a different story: high-import sectors are thriving, while labour-intensive, low-import industries
like textiles are floundering.
The think tank also said that for sectors relying heavily on imports, a depreciating r upee against the U S dollar increases input costs, reducing competitiveness.
In theory, sectors with low import dependence, like textiles, should gain the most from a weaker rupee, while high-import sectors like electronics should benefit the least.
“However, trade data from 2014 to 2024 tells a different story During the 2014 to 2024 period, overall merchandise exports grew by 39%, but high-import sectors like electronics, machinery, and computers saw much higher growth,” he said adding electronics exports surged by 232.8%, and machinery and computer exports grew by 152.4%.
Gujarat Maritime Board hosts Stakeholder Consultation Workshop on Coastal Shipping
Cont’d. from Pg. 3
Key Participants:
P r o m i n e n t organizations such as DG Shipping, D e e n d a y a l Po r t Authority, Shipping
C o r p o r a t i o n o f India, Kerala Maritime Board, Maharashtra Maritime Board, Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd (APSEZL), DP World, Ultratech Cement Ltd and Segal Group of Companies contributed valuable inputs to address challenges and shape the future of Coastal Shipping.
Key Discussions:
The workshop highlighted Gujarat’s significant role in India’s Coastal Shipping sector With 49 ports along its 1,600 km coastline, Gujarat accounts for 19% of India’s coastal cargo, handling 47.67 MMT of coastal cargo in FY 2023-24 and is targeting 140 MMT by 2047.
Speakers emphasized the cost-effectiveness and environmental benefits of coastal shipping compared
to road and rail transportation. Drawing parallels with China and the EU, they showcased how coastal shipping can lower logistics costs and carbon emissions.
The challenges discussed included high last-mile logistics costs, infrastructural gaps, and regulatory hurdles. Proposed solutions included:
• Development of dedicated coastal berths.
• Enhanced port and hinterland connectivity
• Integration of inland waterways
• Implementation of a carbon credit system.
• Collaboration with other coastal states for sustainable growth.
The Coastal Shipping Bill 2024, introduced by the Government of India, was recognized as a critical step toward addressing industry issues and fostering growth.
The workshop reaffirmed Gujarat’s commitment to becoming a regional maritime hub by enhancing infrastructure, reducing logistics costs and promoting eco-friendly cargo movement. This initiative aligns with the state's long-term vision for sustainable and inclusive economic growth.
