Indore SEZ as Trading &
Logistics Hub :
- Most of India’s branded electronic
hardware imports are by air- Delhi / Mumbai airport
- Foreign companies not allowed
trading, and appoint for warehousing
- agents SEZ policy allows FDI, sales
to bonded warehouses inside India, defers duty payment till last
point, and control of goods
Metallugrical Exports :
(complimented with Strategic Offshore Warehousing)
- MP has good raw material mix for
primary conversion - metallurgy, cement, copper aluminum / hot
rolling mills, casting and forging industries
- Globally, these industries are not
necessarily port-located; but they are exported worldwide
- Trading in these goods is
warehouse-to-warehouse, not factory to consumer
- Stocks need to be close to points of
demand
Power Complex
:
- Power is the most critical input in
many of MP’s metallurgy industries
- SEZ framework is positive for power
generation and distribution, (duty-free item)
- Offers low capital and operational
costs for metallurgy, cement, casting and forging, supports the
international warehousing concept (offsets storage costs partly)
- Potentially benefits even non SEZ
exporters in state, and other neighbouring states
Granite Semi-Finishing – Stone Park
:
- India’s exports : Rs 1200 crore
- Forms : Polished tiles (55%); Blocks
(30%)
- South India : major exporting region
MP has good reserves of important (black and red) variety, lacks
processing facilities
- Mining policy links blocks export to
processing capacity, thus negligible export from MP
- International practice - gang sawing
and polishing equipment, relocated from buyer countries (Italy,
Taiwan)- long lease, adjusted from exports SEZ model suits MP policy
of value added and also lowers investment costs, finance costs
Fine Cotton Yarn, Fabric Complex :
- India : a competitive player in
textiles & garments;
- India’scompetitiveness in garments
will be under pressure
- Quota exports will end in 2005 (WTO)
- Small countries will still enjoy
duty privileges of RTAs and treaties ;
- India’s new focus - on fabrics and
yarns, which are imported by several small exporting countries
- Yarn, fabrics processing - a large
scale industry, benefits from SEZ policy; facilitates storage of
imported fiber (fine cotton); supports clustering of MP’s garment
export units as well
Automobile and Automobile Ancillary
:
- Existing base of local resources to
support automobile manufacturing and assembly, can also be
integrated with international companies.
- Indore, Pithampur is an important
hub of automobile production.
- Self sufficient industrial cluster
consisting of metallurgical, heavy engineering, metal working and
assembly activity.
- Existing players like Hindustan
Motors, Eicher Motors, Bajaj Tempo, Kinetic Engineering along with
the potential theme partners like Ford, General Motors, Harley
Davidson (USA), Mitsubishi,Suzuki (Japan), Peugeot (French), Benelli
Fiat (Italian) can play major role.
