India is only major Asian Nation that's growing its export share : RBI Governor Daily Shipping Times - Mumbai, August 02 Top |
||
|
The only major Asian economy that's grown its export share since the start of the tariff wars in 2018. India's share of world exports rose to 1.71% in the first quarter of 2019 from 1.58% in the fourth quarter of 2017, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The share of every other economy among Asia's 10 biggest exporting nations fell in the same period. Part of the reason for India's outperformance is that it's not as integrated into global manufacturing supply chains as peers, which means exporters are cushioned from rising trade tensions in the region. It's a sentiment that was flagged by Central Bank Governor Shaktikanta Das in a recent interview. "India is not part of the global value chain," he said. "So, U.S.-China trade tension does not impact India as much as several other economies." China is the biggest buyer of goods from South Korea and Japan, whose share of world exports have fallen the most in Asia. For India, China is the third-largest market, after the U.S. and the U.A.E. "Our biggest advantage is that our product basket and market basket are both quite diversified," said Rakesh Mohan Joshi, a professor at the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade in Delhi. Trade tensions between the U.S. and China have given India an opportunity to ramp up exports to both countries, according to Ajay Sahai, Director General and Chief Executive Officer of the Federation of Indian Export Organisations. India's exports to the U.S. grew at the fastest pace in six years in the year ended March 2018, while exports to China surged 31%, the second highest annual pace of growth in more than a decade, data from India's Ministry of Commerce show. "China is more willing to give market access to India than ever before," said Sahai, pointing to increased access for products such as rice, fruits and vegetables, with potential for greater exports of pharmaceuticals and automobile components to China. On the other hand, India's exports to the U.S. could lose momentum. President Donald Trump has criticized India for its tariffs on U.S. products, and withdrew trade concessions on $6.3 billion of Indian goods on June 1. India responded with higher tariffs on about 30 American products. |

Exports must contribute $ one trillion to the economy: Piyush Goyal Exim News Service - New Delhi, Aug. 1 Top |
||
|
The Commerce and Industry Ministry and the Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) organised an interactive session on emerging opportunities to enlarge India's exports to the US and China recently in New Delhi. The session was attended by the Commerce and Industry Minister, Mr Piyush Goyal, Minister of State for Commerce and Industry, Mr Som Parkash, Commerce Secretary, Mr Anup Wadhawan, FIEO President, Mr S. K. Saraf, and officials of the Department of Commerce and several others, said a release. While inaugurating the interactive session, Minister of State for Commerce and Industry, Mr Som Parkash, urged exporters to utilise this window of opportunity that has opened up due to tariff escalation between the US and China. Further, the Minister said that manufacturers must build capacity and make the most of the opportunity that is now available to the country to enlarge its exports to both the US and China. Mr Piyush Goyal said that in order to achieve the target of $5 trillion economy, India's exports will have to contribute at least $ one trillion. He urged manufacturers and exporters to come forward with data and details which directly and indirectly add to the cost of the products that are being exported, like cess paid on coal, electricity and royalty paid on mines. All this adds up to the cost of the export product per unit basis, he added. The Commerce and Industry Minister said that the Ministry is working on making India's export products competitive and simplifying rules and regulations for easy availability of export credit. He urged the ex-im community to flag issues regarding availability of land, labour, common effluent treatment plants, cluster development and logistics support required in ports, airports and Customs to the Ministry so that it is able to iron out the issues impeding India's exports and facilitate the exporters to take maximum benefit from the tariff escalation between the US and China. The Department of Commerce took the initiative to identify and share with Indian exporters and other stakeholders, specific lines where the US would lose competitiveness in China and India has export potential, and encouraged them to seize this opportunity. Several B2B meetings with Chinese buyers were facilitated through the Indian Embassy in Beijing, in addition to inviting Chinese grape buyers to visit Indian grape farms and related units, under the aegis of APEDA, the release said. |

Growing at 10 per cent, Telangana exports touch USD 7.38 billion
Daily Shipping Times - Hyderabad, July 30 Top |

Exports from Telangana registered a growth of 10 per cent in the year 2018-19 as compared to the previous year, standing at $7.38 billion. This was announced by Israr Ahmed, the Southern region Head of the Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) while speaking at a seminar on the various issues and prospects of exports from the State, held in Hyderabad. While the 10 per cent year-on-year growth of exports is encouraging, Ahmed pointed out that more than half of the exports from the State, worth around $4.2 billion, were from the organic, chemical and pharmaceutical sectors, indicating a need for promoting exports in other industrial sectors as well. Speaking on the same, Director General and CEO of FIEO Dr Ajay Sahai said that the State needed to diversify its exports and must focus on some key sectors wherein it had high potential, such as the defence and aerospace. In fact, there are many companies from these sectors operating out of the city. He also highlighted the need for looking towards other areas like agriculture, food processing, natural stones and developing the in-house capability for valuation of cotton to boost exports. |

Cotton imports set to double amid shortage for 2018-19 season
Daily Shipping Times - New Delhi, August 02 Top |

|
India's cotton imports are set to double amid crop shortfall for the 2018-19 season which ends in September. While cotton industry estimates imports to cross 30 lakh bales (each of 170 kg) for the season, double from 15.8 lakh bales reported last year, trade sources believe that cotton import shipments will be restricted to around 25 lakh bales as against estimated imports of 31 lakh bales. Delayed shipments "Out of the total contracted imports of 27 lakh bales for the season, about 14 lakh bales have already arrived at Indian ports till July-end, while additional 10-11 lakh bales are estimated to arrive by September. There is some delay in several shipments, due to which about 2-3 lakh bales are likely to arrive in October," said Atul Ganatra, President, CAI. CAI had estimated 31 lakh bales of cotton imports for the year. On the other hand, cotton prices will rule higher even amid increased imports as the shortage of fibre is likely to cause supply crunch till the beginning of the next season after October 2019. Trade estimates prices to hover between Rs.44,000-46,000 a candy of ginned cotton (each of 356 kg). The 2018-19 cotton crop is estimated at over a decade-low at 312 lakh bales. This prompted industry to look for cotton from global suppliers such as the US, Brazil and African Countries. |

Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI) recently said it aims to increase cargo transportation through this mode to 120 million tonne by 2023 from the current 72 million tonne. IWAI officials said it continues to make crucial interventions that would pave the way for eco-friendly cargo movement on the national waterways. In this endeavour, the National Waterway-1 is important and IWAI is creating necessary infrastructure to falicitate private investors to rope in the fuel-efficient transport mode, they said. Adani Logistics, as part of a pilot project, is carrying the largest container cargo in the NH-1 from Haldia to Patna, an IWAI official had said. The company's inland vessel MV Bhavya began sailing recently from Haldia docks with 52 containers of edible oil. The vessel was formally flagged off from Kolkata's Garden Reach Jetty-II by IWAI Chairman Pravir Pandey, Chairman of Kolkata Port Trust Vinit Kumar, along with Adani Ports officials. The vessel will reach its destination in 9-10 days covering a distance of 955 km. A number of cargo owners including PepsiCo, Emami Agrotech, IFFCO Fertilisers, Dabur India have already come on board inland waterways. The movement could be made possible as IWAI has put a "robust ecosystem of fairway, berthing, pilotage, river information systems and night navigation facilities on river Ganga", IWAI officials said. "Maintenance dredging is being carried out on the NW-1 to ensure the least assured depth of three metres," they said. |

The railways parcel business is all set to get a boost with the national transporter roping in e-retail giant Amazon to transport its goods by train. According to a Railway Board letter issued earlier this month, as a pilot project the railways will give Amazon space in two of its premium trains - the Sealdah Rajdhani and the Mumbai Rajdhani for a period of one month, which could be extended to three months depending on the feedback received. According to the agreement, zonal railways will earmark a space of 2.5 tonnes in the parcel van of the trains for loading/unloading of Amazon India consignments and the remaining space of 1.5 tonnes will be for railways. Amazon will, however, pay freight charges equivalent to the highest lease rate on the same train on pro-rata basis. One month advance freight charge will be levied on the e- commerce company by the railways. |

Kolkata emerging Top Warehousing Hub in India : Experts
Daily Shipping Times - Kolkata, August 01 Top |

West Bengal, particularly Kolkata and its suburbs, is fast emerging as one of the major warehousing and logistics markets in India. According to sources, deals worth 500-700 crore (5-7 billion) are already in different stages of discussions or are being inked. Kolkata and the suburbs took up warehousing space to the tune of 3.5 million square feet last year (in 2018). Some of the areas that are fast turning out to be the hotbeds, include those along the National Highway 2 (Delhi Road) and National Highway 6 (Bombay Road). As per sources, some 500 acres of land across villages along the Delhi Road and Bombay Road areas are under negotiations. In fact, logistics-focused global PE funds and developers such as Morgan Stanley, ESR (backed by Warburg Pincus), Allcargo Logistics, Indospace, Embassy and others are the ones puttingin big money. The Delhi Road, Old Delhi Road and Bombay Road areas are around 30-40 kms from the city and covering districts of Howrah and Hooghly. Apart from proximity to the city, Kolkata in this case, these places are well connected to the North Indian States on one side and with the other Eastern and North Eastern ones on the other. Naturally, most areas along the highways are being looked into by developers and PE funds. Real estate consultants JLL had in a 2018 report stated that in between 2018 and 2020 there will be 4,300 crore (43 billion) of investments in warehousing and logistics in the state. The major customers who have come-in include FMCG players, and e-commerce companies such as Flipkart and Amazon. This apart, a host of 3PL players, like Mahindra Logistics, are also taking up space or across upcoming logistics parks. Kolkata warehousing market clocked in 0.4 million sq m (4.7 million sq ft) absorption in 2018. The sudden surge in demand for warehousing space in Kolkata over 2017 led to a massive 191 per cent year on-year (YoY) growth in total leasing making it the highest across the top eight cities in India. |

The Company achieved an overall cargo throughput of 7 MT (million tonnes) in Q1 FY2019-20, of which 1.1 MT was third-party cargo. The share of third-party cargo in overall cargo volumes also rose to 15.7%. There is a significant upswing in the region's economic activity and the Hazira terminal is well placed to capitalise on the opportunity. The focus on operational efficiencies and increase in third-party cargo will be major catalysts in fuelling future growth.

Cargo volumes from the anchor customer increased by 5.6% over the same period. The share of third-party cargo in the overall cargo volumes grew to 40.6% Competitive advantage through the high degree of mechanisation at the terminal and the state-of-the-art cargo handling equipment that helps ensure rapid turnaround times have been the key drivers for attracting new clients.

JNPT & terminals ink new MoU for Inter-Terminal Rail Handling Operation Exim News Service - Mumbai, July 29 Top |
||
|
Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT), the number one container port in India, took a major step in the larger interest of the ex-im community by facilitating a MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) signing for a new Inter-Terminal Rail Handling Operation (ITRHO) agreement, between all the terminals at JN Port here on July 29, 2019. There was an ITRHO MoU signed in 2007 between the then existing three terminals JNPCT, NSICT and GTI for the handling of mixed ex-im rail containers. However, with two new terminals, NSIGT and BMCT coming up, the incumbent MoU seemed redundant. Moreover, JNPCT, NSICT and GTI terminal rail lines are in a close proximity to each other, whereas BMCT rail lines are at an average distance of 5 km from JNPCT, NSICT and GTI lines. Hence, the additional cost factor due to the large distance was a major hindrance to the ITRHO movement between BMCT and other terminals. Hence, a new ITRHO agreement was designed and agreed upon by all terminals (NSICT, GTI, NSIGT and BMCTPL) and will come into effect from August 1, 2019. The ITRHO agreement aims to maximise train placement, track productivity, efficiency, cost-effective handling, reduce dwell time of import ICD boxes, connecting export ICD boxes to respective terminals in time and also increase rail quotient at JNPT. The MoU clearly defines the role and responsibilities of the 'Handling Terminal' and the 'Receiving Terminal' to ensure safe and timely movement of the import and export rail containers along with the requisite guidelines to be adhered. The terminal traffic route as mutually agreed between the terminal operators shall be strictly followed and if there may be changes in routes due to infrastructure developments inside JN Port, all terminals need to review the best route and mutually agree to use for ITRHO operations accordingly. Charges will be levied on shipping lines as per the existing ITRHO charges approved by TAMP under the new ITRHO agreement also. It was decided that a joint meeting will be held every second Friday of the month, involving all terminal CEOs, to sort out any issues. Sharing a few words on this strategic development, Mr Sanjay Sethi, IAS, Chairman, JNPT, said, "It is very encouraging to see collaborative effort and support extended by all the JN Port terminals to come together and find solutions for impeding challenges we face in our business. Often there are bottlenecks due to operational limitations and the lack of coordination between parties causes delay in addressing these concerns which eventually hampers trade. It is important that all stakeholders in our ecosystem cooperate to tackle such clogs in the system because it will help in smoothening the overall trade cycle and also enhance our efficiency, thus leading to better growth." This initiative was a success due to the keen involvement of Mr Sanjay Sethi who realised the immense benefit the new ITRHO agreement would bring to all stakeholders, especially JNPT's customers and trade. So this is a yet another significant move by JNPT to provide ease of doing business to the ex-im community and a big step forward in its endeavour to be among the best ports globally, said a release. |
