Indian exports unlikely to touch even the $300-billion mark: FIEO

23 Apr 2015 Evaluate

Watering down the government’s ambitious exports growth target, exporters' body Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) has said that India's exports in the current fiscal will fall further and are unlikely to touch even the $300-billion mark on account of decline in the container volumes at ports and poor order book position.

FIEO has said that what is worrying now is the volume which is going down. For a few ports the volumes are down by 26 percent, so overall a double digit decline is expected in volume. The decline in volume means value-wise export may suffer more decline. Adding further, FIEO said that in order to reverse the declining trend of India's exports, the government needs to step out to help exports community in terms of some direct tax benefits.

President of FIEO, S C Ralhan said that the Exporters should be incentivised through tax benefits to invest in manufacturing. Any investment in plant and machinery for expansion or modernization should be made eligible for tax deduction at 100 percent. Textile Upgradation Fund Scheme (TUFS) for textiles may be extended to engineering and other sectors of exports.

India has set a target of $340 billion for 2014-15, when country's exports in 2014-15 fiscal stood at $ 310.5 billion, down 1.2% from $314.4 billion the year before, mainly due to slowdown in global growth. In terms of the country’s export destinations, the slowdown was more visible in Asian nations such as China (minus 19%) and Singapore (minus 20%), while exports to the US and the UAE were stronger. While value-wise exports have declined, volume-wise exports picked up in certain sectors. With the Indian rupee strengthening in real effective terms.
