Raising hopes for export growth in the coming year, Engineering Export Promotion Council (EEPC) India’s, new chairman Ravi P Sehgal has said that the year 2018 is expected to be a good year for exports, as it promises to be full of opportunities and growth for the Indian exporters, on the back of improving global trade. However, he also expressed need to focus on competitive pricing and technological strength of exports, in order to achieve the expected growth.
EEPC India chairman also stressed the need of being on guard against increasing protectionism in the top economies. Going further, he ensured that his organization along with the commerce ministry will work together on policy issues that may act as barriers to shipments and will also look on exporters' GST refund related issues, seeking cooperation and support from the finance ministry.
He added that we have to ensure that our exporters should not miss out any global opportunity for the sake of cash flow and this is possible only when the GST glitches are removed. Besides, Sehgal said that Indian exporters need to fully exploit robust trade growth of the world in 2018, noting that US, Eurozone, Japan and China markets are very important destinations for the Indian export basket, including the engineering goods.
