Govt approves Rs 500 crore PDF for CLMV nations

01 Sep 2016 Evaluate

The government has given its approval for creation of a project development fund (PDF) with a corpus of Rs 500 crore for catalysing Indian economic presence in CLMV nations - Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam, which have a unique position in the regional value chains and offer a gateway for market access to China, European Union (EU) and other markets due to various trade agreements.

Despite plenty of opportunities in the CLMV region, Indian businesses in these countries so far have been slim due to limited information, infrastructure and other contingent risks, the new fund will benefit India’s industrial community for business expansion and maintaining cost competitive supply chains besides integrating with global production networks.

The PDF will be housed in the Department of Commerce and Exim Bank will operate the fund. The PDF shall be governed by an Inter-Ministerial Committee under the chairpersonship of the Commerce Secretary. The fund could be used to carry out a variety of activities including feasibility studies, acquiring land or getting clearances. India will have the advantage in the regional value chain by securing a dedicated market for domestic raw materials and intermediate goods on a long term basis. The regional access will also help India with availability of inputs and raw materials for Indian industry.

The CLMV nations, as part of the ten-member ASEAN region, has a number of FTAs with countries such as China, the EU, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand and Australia. Once Indian investments are made in these countries, the investors can have access to the markets of their FTA partners on preferential terms.
