Engineering exporters’ apex body, the Engineering Export Promotion Council (EEPC) India, has reported that India's engineering exports has improved in September on back of impressive demand pick-up in most of the developed countries, including the United States (US) and Europe. It also noted that the US accounted for an annual growth of 91 percent in shipments in September 2017, together with a number of different key markets of Europe, the UAE and China.
EEPC India stated that the USA continued to be the number one exporting destination for India's engineering products, registering positive growth both on monthly as well as in cumulative basis during April-September 2017-18 over the same period last fiscal. It pointed out that while the shipments of engineering exports to the US went up by a whopping 91 percent to $1.53 billion in September, from $551 million in the same month last fiscal, the April-September exports had gone up over by 47 percent to $4.79 billion from $3.25 billion in the first half of the previous fiscal.
As per the apex body, overall, India's engineering exports to its top 25 destinations registered a rise in both monthly to the extent of 53.3 percent in September 2017 and cumulatively to the extent of 25.6 percent during April- September 2017, compared to the same period previous year. Further, it noted that they are seeing a secular trend in the global demand pick-up and once they are able to resolve their domestic issues arising out of the initial problems of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime, they should be able to build up further.
