EDITORIAL

Being Vishwaguru

here is no dearth of carefully worded and strategically spoken quotable quotes by Mr Narendra Modi ... but this one moves you as well as charges you with national pride. It goes like this, “Gujarat should be a catalyst in getting India the stature of Vishwaguru once again. And we have to relentlessly work towards making this dream come true...” The state and its leadership truly believe in leading from the front and creating value for the whole nation while doing the same for itself! Welcome to the most awaited special edition of ‘SEARCH’, ‘Investment Destination Gujarat’, which reflects the growth, popularity and adulation that the state attracts! And while it is both challenging as well as exciting to build and bring this issue to you, we, at SEARCH, just like the state of Gujarat, are very competitive and proud of this special presentation, which, in this edition, is all about the Proud Projects and the potential they hold. As we are all aware, Gujarat’s economy today has reached a critical size, which is a strong platform to launch itself on an accelerated and high growth trajectory. Gujarat is geared for robust infrastructure that will form the base for sustaining high growth. The state has initiated several projects, which will redefine India’s economic history and put the country on the high growth trajectory. The Vishwaguru in the making! State-of-the-art infrastructure is shaping up more visibly in Gujarat with the strategic implementation of the Big 2020 Infrastructure plan. The ultimate goal of Big 2020 is to create a robust social, industrial and physical infrastructure network ensuring accelerated inclusive and sustainable growth. Robust infrastructure includes infrastructure that is benchmarked and competing with the best in the world to provide a competitive edge for Gujarat to attract and sustain investments in various sectors of the economy. The infrastructure is reliable, well spread and balanced to ensure that the fruits of development reach all in the furthest corners of the state. The cover story is aimed to do justice to the these nation building projects that Gujarat can take pride in ... like Gujarat can boast of the first ever big private port project in the country. Its 40 minor ports (most in the private sector) handle around 80% of the cargo handled by all private ports in India. Or the only chemical port and two LNG terminals that have been developed in the PPP format or the two air strips that have been developed by private developers and several Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT)/Build-Own-OperateTransfer (BOOT) roads and railway lines that are functional. While the state of Gujarat is indeed on a victory march, it is also true (like it is for everything else in life) that there is always scope for improvement. According to some industry leaders, most of the development that the state has seen has been in and around north and south Gujarat; areas like Saurashtra and Kutch have been ignored. Also, it has been felt that what may be progress to some, may in fact be regress to others. Gujarat is currently facing the same anti-dynamics. It is very easy for large scale industries to gain foothold in Gujarat, but the same cannot be said about the existing players in the state. Then again, it is felt that being an SME in Gujarat is no more an icing on the cake; their growth has been crippled by higher tax, higher electric charge and estate development charges, amongst other major problems. With so much passion, possibilities and potential packed in this edition, we salute the manufacturing fraternity of Gujarat for being the winds beneath the wings for the aspirations to fly higher!!

skills developed in India.” The METSO foundry manufactures crusher manganese wears for ‘C’ series jaw crushers, ‘GP’ series cone crushers and Symons crushers, as well as high chrome slurry pump wears for Indian and global customers. The new investments have upgraded the production equipment and quality assurance facilities, which include a mechanised mould line facility, a captive machining facility equipped with CNC machines to machine highhardness pump wears.

Making its presence felt METSO, a chief technology supplier for the mining & construction, pulp, paper & power and automation sectors, has expanded its production capacity in Ahmedabad. METSO has recently invested `400 million in this production capacity. This expansion has augmented the production capacity of the plant by two times its present worth. PRATEEK SUR

ETSO has expanded its horizons. It has spread its wings to a new extension in its Ahmedabad Foundry, which would bring huge investments to the state along with an increase in the employment opportunities for the local labour force. This foundry is located on Odhav Road in Ahmedabad. This expansion rides on an investment of `400 million and addresses the global demand-supply gap in cast wears. The investment will triple the production capacity of high-chrome wears from 1,000 MT to 3,000 MT at Metso’s Ahmedabad foundry.

METSO Ahmedabad foundry guarantees the highest quality

METSO’s Ahmedabad foundry has come a long way since its acquisition in 2000 and started operations in 2001. A greenfield project, the foundry is strategically located in the eastern part of the city in the Odhav Industrial area. Accredited with ISO 9001: 2008 Quality Management certification, it

Projects and Projections: Mundra Port

SEARCH - Supplement July 2013

Creating History Mundra Port created history not only in Gujarat but also across India by handling the largest container ship (14,000 TEUs container vessel). MSC Valeria is berthed at the new container terminal, which has one of the deepest water depths in India and extensive related infrastructure, including state-of-the-art container cranes. PRATEEK SUR

undra Port, the flagship port of Adani Ports Special Economic Zone Ltd (APSEZ), one of India’s largest private port developers & operators that is part of the Adani Group, made history in Gujarat recently. The port handled the largest container vessel till date with a nominal capacity of 14,036 Twentyfoot Equivalent Units (TEUs)—the first of its kind to call at any Indian port, thereby making history in the Indian maritime sector.

Project Details

Mundra Port ranks second among Indian ports in terms of total cargo handled during FY2013. Adani Ports has developed and operates three container terminals at Mundra, Gujarat. MSC Valeria is berthed at the new container terminal, which has one of the deepest water depths in India and extensive infrastructure including state-of-the-art container cranes. MV MSC Valeria, owned by Swissbased MSC Mediterranean Shipping Co, a leading global shipping line, with an overall length of 365.5 mt (1,199.2 ft) was delivered to MSC in June 2012 and is currently deployed

in MSC’s Asia-Mediterranean Dragon service. MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company SA, Geneva, is a privately owned shipping line and currently the second largest container shipping line in the world. As of May 2013, MSC was operating 451 container vessels with an intake capacity of 2,281,000 TEUs. According to Gautam Adani, Chairman, Adani Group, “Considering the current global economic scenario, delivering cost-efficient services to customers will be the single most important factor in trade. I believe that by bringing 14,000 TEU ships in India, and Mundra specifically, we will open a new chapter in the container business of not just Gujarat but the entire country. This, in turn, will create new opportunities in the sector. India will now feature on the global platform for large container shipping business.”

Investments Galore

Traditionally, an average container ship size is less than 4,000 TEUs in India. The 14,000 TEU vessels will reduce the cost significantly. It is believed that this cost reduction to customers can give Mundra Port an opportunity to become a hub port

for servicing not only other Indian ports but also potentially cater to the Middle East and African markets. This would help bring in huge investments from Indian as well as global players for the state of Gujarat. Along with this, such huge capacity ships would require more workers at various steps and therefore, would bring better employment opportunities for the locals. “Having such facilities, APSEZ will have an advantage for container business, especially for North and Central India through its ports at Mundra and Hazira,” added Adani. There are not more than 35 ports in the world where 14,000 TEU container vessels can be handled. Mundra Port has well established rail connectivity to North and West India. It is also connected by a railway line capable of handling long haul rails and double stack containers to the northern hinterland of India. The Group also operates Inland Container Depots (ICDs) at Patli and Kishangadh. These would help enhance the investments in Gujarat and increase local employment. prateek.sur@network18publishing.com

Future Projects: Dholera SIR

SEARCH - Supplement July 2013

The dream ‘business hub’ in the making Gujarat has always believed in upgrading for the better. As a means to upgrade its business quotient, the state has proposed the construction of Dholera Special Investment Region (SIR). This strategically located SIR is planned to be set up on a greenfield site with all the required facilities. Being developed on the Shanghai model, Dholera SIR is Hon’ble Gujarat Chief Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s dream project. Yet to come into existence, Dholera SIR has already attracted a lot of investments and interest from the global business community. Speaking about the project, an exulted Chief Minister stated, “Dholera has carved its place on the world map! No one could have ever imagined that there would be so much money involved here!” Devyani P Korgaonkar

ujarat is set to construct a planned city at Dholera, a flourishing region about 100 km south of Ahmedabad. At 900 sqkm, the city will be almost double the size of Ahmedabad. Dholera Special Investment Region (SIR) is built to convert this into a global manufacturing and trading hub. “Dholera will be developed in a much better way than Delhi; it will be six times bigger than Shanghai. Providing Urban Amenities to Rural Areas (PURA) is a vision of former President of India APJ Abdul Kalam; Gujarat will be the first state to achieve this vision,” expressed Hon’ble Chief Minister of Gujarat Shri Narendra

The MEGA genesis

The Metro-Link Express for Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad (MEGA) project is a long-awaited metro rail service for both the political and financial capitals of Gujarat. The Gujarat Government has formed two high-level monitoring committees to ensure the project’s speedy implementation. The MEGA project is executed aptly with large-scale planning and is slated to add another feather to Gujarat’s success & growth in the coming future. Devyani P Korgaonkar

he Metro-Link Express for Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad (MEGA) has a clear vision—to provide safe, fast and eco-friendly rail-based mass transit services to the public. The project will connect important points in Ahmedabad like Kalupur Railway Station, civil hospital, airport to GIFT city, Sachivalaya and Akshardam in Gandhinagar. This project will include around 64 km of elevated corridor and 19 km lies underground. The total length of the project is 83 km. The entire overground stretch of 60 km is expected to be completed by 2017, while the remaining is expected to be completed by 2021.

We have drawn several key learning’s from our observation of other metro rail projects. The first key learning is that no two metros are similar; it is all about customisation. So, one should not look at a template that can be used for all metros. The project should evolve bottom up, based on user requirements. Thanks to the latest technology and design, passengers are expected to have a very comfortable and convenient journey. The project is also expected to generate several revenue opportunities for the project & state government. This, in turn, will pave the way for further development. A senior Gujarat Government official

construction are in the finalisation process. In addition, preliminary activities like land development, boundary walls for depot and casting yards have already begun. Government Contributions At present, MEGA is wholly owned by the State Government. However, the Government of India is participating in the project by way of contributing 50% equity. It has already approved the project and made the part provisions in the Union Budget 2013–14. The total cost of the project is `19,000 crore—funding will be primarily through 40% debt and 60% equity. MEGA has received `1,100 crore till date. Debt is being arranged from domestic banks. Major PSU banks have expressed interest and are processing the proposal. The government has been extremely supportive during the entire process. Apart from contributing equity, it has also facilitated the process of approvals. This project enjoys the Sate Government’s support as it is in line with its plans to put Gujarat on the path to accelerated growth.

Key features

MEGA is expected to break even in the next five years; in the interim period, a part of the funding will be generated through income from real estate. It would be a pioneering project of its kind in India due to the adoption of latest technology. Driverless train: It will have a driverless train owing to the adoption of communication-based train

technology. Monopile structures: It will predominantly have monopile structures. Higher passenger carrying capacity: The train will run on a broad gauge of 1,676mm with coaches having a wide body of 3.4 metres. The use of a broad gauge will allow for wider coach selection, resulting in higher passenger carrying capacity and lesser train length. This, in turn, will mean that lesser station length will be required. This translates into savings in terms of cost and construction time. Traction system: The train will have a

Benefits galore

At present, public transport accounts for only a small part of the transport used by the people in the AhmedabadGandhinagar region; only one million in a population of six million people use public transport. This region is expected to grow rapidly and will need to be supported by a public and modern transportation network. The MEGA route has been planned in such a way that it taps a large section of the remaining 5 million. With the development of this project, a rise in

the share of public transport will be seen. The metro expects to carry 2.16 million people by 2021 and 5 million people by 2041 on a daily basis. With the development of the metro rail project, the share of public transport is expected to increase substantially. By the end of 2041, at least 65% of the total trips will be made by public transport. This will help in savings in terms of fuel consumption, time and also reduce the overall congestion on the roads as well as greenhouse emissions. devyani.korgaonkar@network18publishing.com

Gujarat’s solar park at Charanka is the first of its kind in the world. It has become an integrated hub of solar power generation with multi-development capacities & facilities. The unique amalgamation of environmental benefits, infrastructural developments and social upgrades associated with the project has set a benchmark not only for other states of India but also for the rest of the world to follow. Devyani P Korgaonkar

he challenges of climate change and global warming continuously threaten the ecological balance. Excessive utilisation of the Earth’s nonrenewable resources has only worsened the situation further. Taking note of the growing impacts of climate change at the local, national and global levels, the Gujarat Government has pledged to reduce the vulnerability of the ecology. An eco-friendly way to go about this is by using renewable energy sources like solar power, which can be generated abundantly in Gujarat. As a step in this direction, Hon’ble Gujarat Chief Minister Shri Narendra Modi has proposed the creation of a solar park at Charanka.

Record-breaking project

This solar park is, so far, the largest in Asia and will soon turn into the largest in the world. However, some news published on the basis of figures suggests that it has already become the world’s largest photovoltaic power station. Accounting for 214 megawatts of photovoltaic solar capacity, it becomes larger than China’s 200 MW Golmud Solar Park, which previously

When fully built, Charanka Solar Park will host 500 MW of solar power systems using state-of-the-art thin film technology. The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2014.

Solar Policy in place

Considering the concerns over climate change, the Gujarat Government has taken a proactive stance by formulating and announcing the Solar Power Policy in January 2009. Under the Gujarat Solar Policy, the Gujarat Government has signed a power purchase agreement for 971.5 MW solar power projects—a record in the history of Indian solar power sector. In order to facilitate the development of these solar projects, Gujarat Power Corporation Ltd

(GPCL) has conceived the concept of Gujarat Solar Park.

An Overview

The concept The solar park concept is similar to a special economic zone, dedicated to generation of solar power and manufacturing of solar components. The concept aims to accelerate the development of solar power generation projects through the availability of large areas of suitable land, the provision of common infrastructure—including grid connection for power evacuation and water access—to a number of generation and manufacturing plants. The location GPCL identified approximately 2,024 hectare of land at Charanka village in Gujarat’s Patan district. The State

of today, Gujarat’s Charanka Solar Park has been allocated an aggregate capacity of 231 MW of which 224 MW solar projects have already been commissioned, i.e. electricity generation has commenced and been put on the grid.

In The Nation’s Interest

Upon completion, the solar park will reduce carbondioxide emissions released into the atmosphere to the tune of 8 million tonne and save around 900,000 tonne of coal and natural gas per year. It also gives a boost to India’s renewable energy ambitions. The country aims for solar power to account for 3% of national capacity.

Gujarat ‘model’ of economic development

A recent World Bank report on favourable destinations for business and industry across the world renders Mumbai the 10th spot in Asia, while Ahmedabad is given the 5th spot. “Gujarat has a vast desert and less water resource. The state does not have any raw material or natural resources like other states of India. Yet, it is enriched on all fronts,” avers the Chief Minister while addressing a high-level business delegation in Mumbai organised by IMC. He adds, “If we can lead the steel industry despite not having iron ore, even the country can. If the six-crore population of Gujarat can make the change amidst adverse circumstances, 125 crore Indians can definitely do the same.” The Chief Minister’s speech featured the usual theories about Gujarat as a symbol for wide-ranging growth that the rest of the country should adopt. He emphasised on how Gujarat is on the path to rapid development and blamed the Centre’s policies for the recent downturn. “Gujarat follows the three-part model of growth, where one-third

Leadership Exemplified The economic growth figures over the last few years have shaken the morale of the Indian business community. Amidst this backdrop, the state of Gujarat has projected an unmatched growth graph across all segments as compared to the rest of India. This is why, perhaps, the businesses, not only from India but also from overseas are magnetised towards the state and are keen to set up their base here. The credit for this goes to the man who has led from the front with a distinct vision & successful implementation of growth policies. He has created a favourable environment for businesses to flourish and transformed this western state of India into a model of inclusive growth. This person is none other than Hon’ble Gujarat Chief Minister Shri Narendra Damodardas Modi, who some ace Indian businessmen address as the ‘CEO of Gujarat’. Devyani P Korgaonkar

business focus is given to the agriculture sector, one-third to manufacturing and one-third to the service sector,” he explains. The unprecedented growth of the state confirms that it is imperative to have a strong leadership to move along the growth path.

Making Gujarat a ‘power’ful state

“When I became the Chief Minister, Gujarat did not have sufficient electricity—a fact no one can deny. We do not even have coal mines, yet we produce energy in surplus. We have grown by 200% in the last 5–7

t is not about a political party, it is not about a political person, it is all about the ‘leadership of thought’, an idea. It is all about the concept of a person that has made the difference,” says Niranjan Hiranandani, President, Indian Merchants’ Chamber (IMC), during a recent gathering in Mumbai, defining the persona of Hon’ble Gujarat Chief Minister Shri Narendra Modi. Hiranandani, like any other Mumbai businessman, wanted to know why and how businesses get a red-carpet welcome in Gujarat. And the Chief Minister did not disappoint the business fraternity by answering their queries and sharing the growth story and socio-economic development of Gujarat in the last 10 years.

years. Abundant power is a major USP of our state today,” he informs. The Chief Minister’s claims are backed by facts. Case studies reveal that Gujarat’s power sector was in a poor state in 2001, when he became the Chief Minister. The Gujarat State Electricity Board (GSEB), had posted a loss of `2,246 crore for 2000–01, on revenues of `6,280 crore, interest costs alone were `1,227 crore. Transmission & Distribution (T&D) losses were a substantial 35.27%, and load shedding was frequent. GSEB’s situation was not so grim that it had no funds to add generation capacity on its own, nor was it able to persuade the private sector to invest. Reforming GSEB, thus, became one of his top priorities. The Chief Minister’s first step was to identify and appoint bureaucrats capable of taking on the enormous challenges. In May 2003, the Gujarat Government passed the Gujarat Electricity Industry (Reform and Reorganisation) Act, which divided GSEB into a holding company, a power generation company, a power transmission company and four distribution companies. This enabled better management and more efficient operations. Another key reform was the separation of the feeder line that supplied power to the rural areas into two—one to supply power for agricultural needs and the other for household & miscellaneous needs. This was part of the Jyoti Gram Yojna, a scheme that the Chief Minister announced in 2003 to supply roundthe-clock power to villages. A study by Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, has estimated that the project saved the state capital expenditure of around `23,000 crore, or about 5,000 megawatts. The Gujarat Government has also taken care to ensure that the state electricity regulator—unlike in most states— remains truly independent of political pressures. The state electricity board posted its first profit of `203 crore in 2005–06. By 2010–11, the net

profit had risen to `533 crore, while T&D losses had fallen to 20.13%. Additionally, tariff collection efficiency went close to 100%. Private players, once reluctant to invest in Gujarat’s power generation, are now making a beeline for the state. Power plants with a total installed capacity of 16,945 MW have sprung up in the state. It is a remarkable transformation for a state, which was power deficient barely a decade ago. Gujarat now produces about 14,000 MW power of which about 2,114 MW is surplus. The state presently supplies 24-hour electricity not only to its large cities and towns but also to the 18,000 villages.

Inspiring infrastructure

Gujarat has also implemented various development projects successfully in the last 10 years. The Gujarat model can be easily replicated in the country, believes the Chief Minister. “I am creating a new coastal city called Dholera with all sort of amenities for businesses. It will be double the size of Delhi and six times the size of Shanghai.” The Gujarat Chief Minister also thinks that India can beat China to emerge as a powerful country. “China only showcases Shanghai, not the entire country. India should show its special strength to the world,” he emphasises, adding, “Hence, I suggested the Government of India to commence the Ahmedabad-Mumbai bullet train. I have a dream to make a ‘Statue of

Power packed performance While people in almost half of India (Northern & Eastern) had to spend two dark nights after the northern power grid tripped in July 2012, the Gujarat Government was on a different trip. It was selling its surplus power to states like Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab, Delhi and Maharashtra, earning a profit of around `1,800 crore.

Unity’ of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, double the size of the Statue of Liberty and the tallest statue in the world.” “The 21st century belongs to Asia. India has every chance to outsmart China if it successfully harnesses the potential of the youth, which comprise 65% of the country’s population. Secondly, India can prosper by taking advantage of democracy. Thirdly, our justice delivery system is simple to understand, especially for trade and commerce, unlike that of China. The accumulated Indian youth power can lead the country to achieve newer heights,” he adds.

Symbolising good governance

Gujarat and Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri Narendra Modi have earned their reputation owing to good governance. The Chief Minster, on the other hand, claims that Gujarat has already been following the model of good governance much before the high power committee set up by Government of India suggested the following points: Bureaucratic & administrative stabilities Policy-driven state with no discrimination Coordination between departments Openness in governance without any secrecy Chance for innovations for the bureaucrats Before taking a decision on policy formation, the Chief Minister invites ideas from the public. “We need to work on a PPP model else the country will not grow. I prefer to apply the P4 formula, i.e. People Public Private Partnership on all fronts,” he remarks. He also stated that the country could still salvage the damage it had suffered in the recent past to get back onto the growth track. “We can do it. The Gujarat model can certainly be implemented at the national level with the help of optimism and confidence,” he concludes. devyani.korgaonkar@network18publishing.com

Ample opportunities have been generated across various sectors by creating special economic zones in existing industrial areas. The District Industries Centres in all districts of the state and institutions such as Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC) and Gujarat State Financial Corporation (GSFC) have been instrumental in accelerating the pace of development of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).

Development not confined to four cities anymore

Until a couple of years ago, industrial development was primarily limited to four major cities of Gujarat, namely, Ahmedabad, Baroda, Surat and Rajkot. However, now, most parts of the state are witnessing industrial development in varying degrees. Over a period

of time, Gujarat has also witnessed a sizeable increase in the number of SMEs. Additionally, chemicals & petrochemicals, engineering & auto, food and agro, oil & gas, pharmaceutical and biotechnology are currently attracting strong investments in Gujarat.

Calculated automation for labour problems

Gujarat has good infrastructure at the initial level; however, various issues, such as labour shortage, crop up from time to time for which calculated automation is a must. Calculated, because automation is expensive. Therefore, any business should calculate the correct return on investment and then invest accordingly.

Gujarat: A favourable investment destination

Gujarat is located on the west coast of the country. Its connectivity to ports in Australia, the UK, the Middle East and East Asian countries, making it readily accessible for the international and domestic markets. The presence of numerous ports and airports, strong rail & roadways connectivity, gallant water supply throughout the state, good power supply & other infrastructure facilities make it a viable destination for investment.

Success of cluster development

The cluster development approach is highly conducive to the growth of the SME sector. Cluster associations could arrange for collective participation in national and international fairs and creation of common facilities like R&D laboratories. This approach would also make it easier for the government to disperse funds and resources.

The way forward

Gujarat can become a major manufacturing hub for the country if the government continues to give importance to the sector as they have done in the past. There is also the possibility of Gujarat becoming a major auto manufacturing player— but caution should be shown here and a boost should be given to all industries including textile, plastics,

pharmaceutical, chemical, etc. in order to pave the way for holistic growth.

Upcoming technologies

To sustain, a company should be at the forefront technologically. There are various technological trends ranging from nanotech, augmented reality devices to sustainable manufacturing, which are newer concepts, but have mass appeal & huge scope for growth.

We also look forward to be a part of cluster development for SMEs. Looking at the state of progress, it will not be difficult for the state to become the leading investment destination for companies looking for a bright future. In terms of production, quality as well as high-end technology, Gujarat has fared well. The situation was tough for the last 1–2 years, but we have already seen the worst. What lies ahead is a promising future.

Growth imperatives

The kind of competition pertinent in Gujarat is the price war. Most competitors are judged on the basis of price, not quality, which is one of the major drawbacks. Machineries for lesser price will not prove useful in the long run; quality will. Unless and until this is realised, the standards of the industry will not rise. rishab.kothari@network18publishing.com

There are many advantages of being an SME in Gujarat Current demand trends

The current trends in the sheet metal industry are fairly good. We have constantly observed a sustained demand for our products, barring last year when recession hit the engineering sector.

Hurdles faced by SMEs

“SMEs enjoy a good industrial climate, continuous availability of electricity, prompt government support to SME units, no major unionism in industrial units, etc.,” informs Bharatkumar Vaghela, MD, Weldor Engineering Pvt Ltd, during a conversation with Rishab Kothari. Excerpts…

ujarat: An ideal investment destination

A harmonious industrial climate, cheap labour, no power cuts, good government support and speedy approvals by the government are some of the compelling reasons to invest in Gujarat. Many companies have invested in Gujarat and many more are shifting their base to the state from other states. Gujarat is set to be the frontrunner in industrial growth in the next 5–10 years as mega infrastructure projects like metro rail and solar park are in the pipeline. As we are located in Saurashtra, we hope to receive the benefits of such developments in our area.

Major sectors and competition

Automotive, forging, casting, machine tools, sheet metal, textile, infrastructure, ceramic, etc. are the

sectors that attract good investment. Competition is constant in every sector of the industry and we feel that it is one of the factors that contribute to industrial growth. Competition always proves to be a motivational factor to do well.

SMEs in Gujarat

There are many advantages of being an SME in Gujarat … SMEs enjoy a good industrial climate, continuous availability of electricity, prompt government support, no major unionism in industrial units, etc. Besides, the growth of the sheet metal industry is good. Although we saw a slowdown in our sales last year, we hope to witness good sales for our products this year. The cluster development programme has been optimally utilised by the SMEs of Rajkot with UNIDO’s cooperation and assistance to cluster members.

In the sheet metal industry, Chinese machinery is available at cheap prices in India and abroad. This may affect our industry in the long term as new sheet metal industry units may not be able to come up in Gujarat. Another problem is that banks charge a higher rate of interest. Additionally, Saurashtra has been grappling with the problem of water scarcity since long, which is again a hurdle for SMEs in the industrial scenario.

Message to young entrepreneurs

Our message to new entrepreneurs is that they should invest in Gujarat because of the ample opportunities it provides as an investment destination. The current government is savvy to the industrial growth in the state, which will help boost various industrial segments and will provide young entrants with more options to explore.

Expansion plans

We are constantly making efforts to introduce new products in the market and are looking forward for more product segments and plans to expand our customer base. We have also set up a team to analyse the technicalities as we wish to seek the technical know-how of internationally renowned companies in our field. rishab.kothari@network18publishing.com

The last five years have seen more than 50,000 SMEs shut down Additionally, to redress issues arising due to machinery, SMEs require basic workshop machines to develop new machines. In the next few years, we will be well equipped to go global and achieve excellence in making products of global acceptance.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being an SME in Gujarat is no more an icing on the cake. For SMEs, existence has become more painful these days. Higher tax, higher electric charge, estate development charges, higher corruption and day-to-day programme fund demands are the major problems of SMEs,â&#x20AC;? claims Bipin Siddhapura, Managing Partner Siddhapura Machines, Rajkot Sahyog Enterprise, during an interaction with Rishab Kothari. Excerptsâ&#x20AC;Ś

rowth of large-scale industries

What may be progress to some may, in fact, be regress to others. Gujarat is currently facing the same anti-dynamics. It is easy for large scale industries to gain a foothold in the state. In fact, large scale industries can think of investing heavily here because the State Government is always ready to redress their issues at the earliest.

SMEs on the wrong track

Being an SME in Gujarat is no more an icing on the cake. For SMEs, existence has become more painful these days. Higher tax, higher electric charge, estate development charges, higher corruption and day-to-day programme fund demands are the major problems of SMEs. The last five years have seen more than 50,000 SMEs shut down. While many have closed down,

most have become sick; the others are simply finding it difficult to survive in a market that is constantly declining.

Promising industries

Real estate, chemical, textiles and petrochemical industries have been attracting good investment in Gujarat. However, high cost of investment due to very high land prices, higher tax and other issues are creating problems even for these companies in the cashrich state. Some areas are seeing tremendous growth, while others are being neglected. It is important to choose the set-up of the appropriate industry at the appropriate location.

Major Problems

As stated earlier, high tax rate, escalating electricity rates, development charges in estate, high rate of corruption and day-to-day programme fund demands are the major problems of SMEs.

Ignored areas of Gujarat

Most of the development in the state has been in and around north and south Gujarat. Areas like Saurashtra and Kutch have been highly ignored. Many regions can do much better if the Centre and the State Government stake initiatives for their development. While Rajkot leads in the auto and machine tools sectors, Surendranagar is at the forefront in bearing components. But among these high-profile areas, Saurashtra could have been one of the most favourable areas for the Maruti car manufacturing unit. It is disheartening to see most businessmen shifting their base to other cities.

Message to young entrepreneurs

It is important to understand the rules & regulations and policies of the government before investing in a particular industry. Be prepared to face hassles while dealing with banks and other registration centres. The process is unfortunately not streamlined; hence, some entrepreneurs prefer other destinations. According to the RBI Policy, no land or other guarantee is required for a loan of an amount less than `5 lakh. This policy is not followed by any nationalised bank in the state. The banks will follow seizure of properties even if they are within no rights to do so. Also, the policies are prone to change in time, but that should not deter you from thinking futuristically. rishab.kothari@network18publishing.com
