From Chief Editor’s Desk
Dear Readers, With more and more people coming to know about the new policies for ESDM, there is sense of excitement and expectation. Several companies/people have told me they are planning to take advantage of the policies. Some thoughts on how the Modified SIPS and Electronics Manufacturing Clusters scheme can be made maximum use of. First the EMC scheme: Undeveloped SEZs could be developed in Electronic Manufacturing Clusters (EMCs); specific sectors like LED or medical electronics could develop sector specific EMCs; Avionics EMC could be developed around airports with MRO and other related facilities. Sector specific EMC could plan to provide for common tooling, testing facilities, training facility, warehousing facility, etc., which could make the units within the cluster more competitive. Alternative source of electric transmission to provide greater reliability of power to units could be considered. Country specific clusters could be thought of like a Taiwan village, a Japanese village or a Korean village. A country specific EMC could plan civic amenities like clubs, restaurants, karaoke, etc., which creates a home away from home for their nationals working in these companies. The most important thing would be the USP of the EMC which makes the EMC different from a typical industrial estate. It is not essential for a SPV to be made before an application under the EMC scheme can be made. A Chief Promoter can initiate action and form the SPV in due course. Similarly, under Modified SIPS, there is potential to maximize the benefit under the scheme by planning their investments for the next ten years and getting approval of the ten year project. They do not have to produce financial closure for the whole project. The guidelines provide that financial closure be furnished only for a part of the project. However, by providing investment plan for ten years enables the companies to claim incentives under the scheme for ten years once their whole project is approved. There are reports of several companies are to close down their units due to unviable operations. Modified SIPS allows relocation of units and such companies should invariably explore whether the units become viable if relocated. 2012 has been a very eventful year for the ESDM sector. As a fitting finale to this year, the Prime Minister, during his inaugural address at the India Telecom 2012, emphasized the need for reversing the thinning trend in telecom and electronics manufacturing. 2013 beckons ESDM sector to make India its new home. I join all readers in welcoming 2013 and the new opportunities in the ESDM sector.

India to be Globally the second best in Manufacturing Competitiveness
According to 2013 ‘Global Manufacturing Competitiveness Index’ by ‘Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited’ and ‘U.S. Council on Competitiveness’, India will once again become the world’s second most competitive manufacturing nation in the next five years, behind China. The country’s strong talent pool in the areas of science, technology and research, in conjunction with some of the lowest labor rates in the world, are cited by survey participants as significant competitive advantages that would positively impact India’s ability to conduct cost-efficient research and development. As per the report, for the ‘talent driven innovation’ on country level competitiveness perception, India is placed at fourth pedestal, ahead of China. The report mentions, that India’s economy witnessed extraordinary expansion, achieving a five-year CAGR rate of 7.8 percent in 2011 and in the last five years its manufacturing exports grew at a CAGR of 17.1 percent. The survey is done to learn how manufacturing CEOs and other senior leaders view their industry's competitiveness around the world. The report mentions that National Manufacturing Policy brought out by India will help lower taxes, provide faster permits and ease labor laws. Through this policy, India plans to boost the share of manufacturing from 16 percent of GDP in 2009 to 25 percent by 2022, while also adding 100 million jobs in the manufacturing sector by 2022. Over the long term, India’s workforce skills and cost advantages, improved policies and regulations, and significant investment will likely boost its competitive advantage and help maintain the country’s position as a strong contender on the global manufacturing front.
