Iran ‘optimistic’ about finalizing Chabahar Port deal with India

TEHRAN: Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian expressed optimism on 30 August in the negotiations with India surrounding the continued development of southeastern Iran’s Chabaharport.

The Foreign Minister said he hopes the agreement’s final draft will be accepted and signed between both countriessoon.

“India has a significant place in Iran’s policy of orientation to the East,” Amir-Abdollahian said. He added that the swift implementation of joint projects between New Delhi and Tehran will benefitbothcountries.

Amir-Abdollahian also expressed Iran’sappreciationforIndia’ssupport in its accession to BRICS. Iran is one of six countries to receive invitations

last week to join the increasingly influential economic bloc led by RussiaandChina.

India built the Chabahar port under a previously agreed-upon contract requiring annual renewal. However, the two sides are now negotiatinganew10-yearagreement, which will automatically extend, allowing India to make longer-term investmentsintheport.

Aspartofthenegotiations,thetwo countries agreed not to seek commercial foreign arbitration for disputes between users and operatorsattheport.

Inapressconferenceon17March, the Iranian Ambassador to India, Iraj Elahi, stated, “The core concept ofcooperationbetweenIranandIndia in Chabahar has three elements –construction of ports, its connection

withthemainrailwaynetworkofIran and sending cargo through Chabahar.”

Elahi further elaborated that Iran chose to cooperate with India on the port to win a part of India’s maritime trade business and benefit from Indian engineering expertise.

“OurexpectationwasthatasIndia sends its cargo through Chabahar port, its sailors and engineers will provideexperienceandknowledgeon the expansion of ports, which we couldteachtoourownpeople.”

Chabahar is seen as India’s gateway to Central Asian markets. Shipping goods through Chabahar allows India to access the NorthSouth Transport Corridor (INSTC) while avoiding transit through its long-timerivalPakistan.

YEREVAN: Armenia and Iran are working to significantly increase trade turnover.Lastyearbilateraltradestood at714milliondollars.Dataofthisyear’s firsthalfshowsa13%increase,whichin turn shows that the positive pace of dynamicsismaintained.

On August 25, an exhibition showcasing the products offered by ArmenianandIraniancompaniesinthe fieldsofagriculture,manufacturingand tourism opened in Yerevan with the purpose of boosting bilateral trade betweenArmeniaandIran.

Hojjatollah Abdolmaleki, the Secretary of the Supreme Council of Free Trade-Industrial and Special Economic Zones of Iran and Presidential Advisor was personally leading a delegation to Armenia and attendedtheevent.

Armenia’s commercial attaché to

Iran Vardan Kostanyan was quoted by ARMENPRESS that both sides are seeking new opportunities to further developtrade.Thetwocountriesplanto increase bilateral trade to 1 billion dollars,andthento3billiondollars.

Kostanyan said that Iran plans to open eight new free economic zones, bringingthenumberofitsFEZsto15.

“We are now looking into the untappedpotentialandopportunitiesto utilizetheminbilateralcooperation.On the other hand, our neighbor is still under sanctions, therefore while carrying out economic policy we are unconditionally taking into consideration this fact. Iran provides state support and protection to companies investing in its economy,” Kostanyan said. He highlighted direct meetings between business representatives.

“Armenia and Iran attach great importance to the prospect of carrying out shipments through the Persian Gulf-Black Sea logistic route, and the Armenian side is maximally seeking to support the implementation of this megaproject, attaching great importance to the use of its own territory. The option of exporting Armenian goods through Iranian territory to Arab countries and India is also under discussion, and in this context the parties have decided to find solutions through joint efforts, and simplify the procedures applied from both sides on that road,” Kostanyan said.

Armenia’s membership to the EEU and its land border with Iran gives opportunities for establishing enterprisesandcarryingoutbroadjoint projects,hesaid.

Govt likely to extend export benefits under RoDTEP scheme for pharma, steel, chemical sectors

NEW DELHI: Government is expected to extend export benefits under the RoDTEP scheme to iron and steel, chemicals and pharmaceutical sectors beyond September 30, accordingtoaseniorofficial.

In December 2022, the government extended the benefits under the Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (RoDTEP) Scheme to chemicals, pharmaceuticals and productsofironandsteeltillSeptember 30thisyear.

“As exports are not doing good for the last few months, there is a demand to extend it for about six months till March 2024. It is under consideration. Wemayextendit,”theofficialsaid.

These three sectors were late entrants into the scheme that aims to refund duties, taxes and levies at the central, state and local level that gets added to the cost of products meant

for exports.This scheme is a replacement for the Merchandise Exports from India Scheme (MEIS) which ended last year. At present, over 10,342 export items get the RoDTEP benefits. At present, over 10,342 export items get the RoDTEP benefits.

The incentive is paid in the form of transferable duty credit scrip which canbeusedtopayimportdutiesorsold in the market by exporters. When the RoDTEP scheme was first announced inlate2020andnotifiedinAugust2021, these sectors were not included because they were already performing wellontheexportfront.

From last year, the country’s exportsstartedfacingglobalheadwinds due to global uncertainties and disruption in supply chains due to Russia-Ukraine war. Drugs and pharmaceuticals accounted for

5.68 per cent of India’s exports in 2022-23atUSD23.5billion.

Exports of iron and steel products were at USD 9.7 billion last year or 2.17 per cent of the total merchandise exports. Share of chemicals in exports in the last fiscal was 3.33 per cent or USD14.9billion.

During April-July this fiscal, exports of organic and inorganic chemical declined 15.17 per cent to USD 9.1 billion. Iron and steel exports rose 8.81 per cent to USD 9.9 billion while shipments of drugs and pharmaceuticals have shown a growth of3.99percenttoUSD8.71billion.

However, in July pharma exports had declined. In 2022-23 the RoDTEP supported USD 450 billion worth of exports at the cost of Rs 13,020 crore. While in 2021-22 the scheme aided USD 421 billion of exports and cost Rs12,100crore.

Matarbari Port in Bangladesh to connect industrial value chains with NE India

NEW DELHI: The underdevelopment Matarbari Deep-Sea Port in Bangladesh, once operational, is expected to emerge as an important commercial hub for Bangladesh and in the Bay of Bengal region, enabling linkage of industrial value chains with Northeast India. A detailed study by Shillong-based think-tank Asian Confluence, titled ‘Assessing Connectivity between Northeast India andBangladesh:TowardsaProsperous BayofBengalRegion’,outlinedthatthe port, being developed with assistance from Japan, is anticipated to become Bangladesh’s and South Asia’s commercialhub.

Japan is expected to invest more

than $25 billion, which will include public investment of $15 billion and private investment of $10 billion as part of its Moheshkhali-Matarbari IntegratedInfrastructureDevelopment Initiative.

“Once the Matarbari DSP (deep sea port) becomes operational and connectivity improves, majority of the items presently being imported through Kolkata/Haldia Port might be shipped through the Matarbari DSP,” thereportstated.

Thedevelopmentoftheportisbeing funded by Japan International Cooperation Agency under the Bay of Bengal Industrial Growth Hubs, an initiative for developing industrial

agglomeration along the DhakaChittagong-Cox’s Bazar belt area and beyond. The port is located in Cox’s Bazar District, Chittagong Division in southeasternBangladesh.

Japan along with India under the broader “Free and Open Indo-Pacific” policy is working on enhancing the connectivity networks between India and neighbouring countries. Japan’s engagement in Bangladesh for connectivitydevelopmentgoeshand-inhand with India’s endeavour which is undertaking upgradation of Mongla Port, road and power transmission networks, railway lines, inland waterways, among others, in the neighbouringCountry.

India mulls Anti-Dumping Duty on Chinese toughened glass

NEW DELHI : India is considering a five-year antidumping duty against import of toughened glass for home appliances from China to protect local manufacturers, potentially affecting companies like LG Corp. andSamsungElectronics.

The quantum of levy recommended by the Directorate General for Trade Remedies is the lesser of the margin of dumping and

the margin of injury to the domestic industry,accordingtoanotification.

The DGTR, in its investigation that began in September 2022, found evidence of dumping and injury to the domestic industry and suggested a definitive anti-dumpingduty.

The probe was initiated following a complaint by the Federation of Safety Glass, an association of safety and specialty glass processors.

TheDGTRnotifiedappliancemakers including LG, Samsung, Whirlpool and others who import toughened glass.

Theauthorityisoftheconsidered view that the imposition of antidumping duties would serve the larger public interest by protecting the domestic producers, all of whom are in the MSME sector, from unfair competition by way of injurious dumpedimportsfromChina.
