THE STATE & THE STATEMENT

ome challenges are cherished and some problems are filled with pride! While creating and crafting this special edition dedicated to the ‘superstar’ state of India, it was getting difficult to cope with the updates on investments that kept flowing even as we put this edition together. As this edition goes to print, we are still adding last minutes updates—the new frontiers that this state is opening up for itself (and for others to emulate). Gujarat is on a victory march where mediocrity is strictly prohibited, and stringent performance parameters is the anthem that it lives by, in thought and action.

The success story of Gujarat stands out among the Indian states as one of the most dynamic growth stories. Gujarat is a thriving industrial state and a hotbed for investments; it accounts for 15.14% (US$114.52 bn) of the total investments in India—highest among all Indian states. However, the state needs to benchmark itself with the best in the world—Dubai, Singapore, China—and not become complacent by doing better than other Indian states. Gujarat, therefore, should consider such growth accelerators that will enable it to draw the best in class and bring about a paradigm shift in the state. That is the reason why, ‘World within the State’, our cover thought for this edition, is not just a statement, it is a fact that Gujarat is living. Historically, trade is driven by a traditional competitive advantage, which acts as a key growth accelerator for economic expansion and national differentiation. As economies advance and diversify internally, trade helps to bring economies of scale, better market access and well-integrated supply chain for various economic agents of any nation. Singapore is a good example of a nation state to have fully leveraged its geography and made trade as the basis of its growth and development. Gujarat can also learn a lot from global investment destinations like Brazil, South Korea and Taiwan, among many others, as the state has got an upper hand when it comes to harbouring a conducive industrial ecosystem and robust support from the State Government. This global comparative perspective is critical for Gujarat to dream bigger and achieve the vision of much improved economic performance. The Government of Gujarat is actively working on various initiatives and ideas to continue the momentum at a broader level & gain acceleration for its core industry sectors. This special edition is one such initiative, which is partnered with the Government of Gujarat, through its enabling industrial arm, iNDEXTb, and, the investors’ conclave, Vibrant Gujarat 2013. We are also grateful to Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation for their assistance and cooperation towards making this edition an ‘investment reckoner’. With all this and more, here’s dedicating this edition to the infectious growth and positivity of Gujarat. With the vibrancy and buoyancy of Gujarat’s economy unmistakably clear, it is well supported by a strong entrepreneurial culture of its people and strong infrastructure focus of its policy-makers. All these factors provide the state with an ideal platform to leapfrog to a much higher growth trajectory, which makes its performance comparable to global benchmarks. It’s truly a ‘World of opportunities within the State!’

The budget of iNDEXTb is met from the contributory shares by all the promotional organisations that are on its Board.

PLANS IN PLACE iNDEXTb is soon to open an investment portal, which will offer access to a GeoInformation System (GIS) counter with maps indicating details on the type of land, ownership pattern, etc. The maps will be tagged with criteria such as identifying the areas where further expansion of certain industries are not permitted due to environmental concerns. Potential investors can enter the search criteria listing parameters that define their project requirements such as the availability of a certain size of land, power and water requirements, etc., and the map will indicate locations that meet these criteria. iNDEXTb also provides escort services whereby they accompany entrepreneurs who are interested in visiting and inspecting certain locations. These services are provided without charging any fee. Having identified a location, approvals have to be taken from the Government of Gujarat or Government of India depending on the nature of the industry or the scale of investment. Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4 are some quick steps that indicate how the industry can go about setting up their manufacturing unit in Gujarat.

L&T Commissions Fastest-executed Solar Power Plant in Gujarat GIVING a boost to the idea of fast implementation of power projects, Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has commissioned a 6-MW solar project for Sun Group in record three months at Gujarat Solar Park. As per L&T sources, it is one of the fastest executed solar projects in India. Sun Group is expected Harnessing Solar Potential to have invested `75 crore in the project. The Group is a private equity fund manager in India, Russia, and other emerging markets with interests in mining, energy, renewable energy, real estate, infrastructure, technology and food & beverages. Gujarat Solar Park, with a current capacity of about 215 MW, is an initiative of the State Government to promote solar energy deployment in the state by streamlining the development process. “Gandhinagar will be a full-fledged ‘Solar City’ by 2014. With the cooperation of people, big cities like Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar will be encouraged

to produce electricity privately,” says Saurabh Patel, Power & Energy Minister, Gujarat Government. SN Subrahmanyan, Senior Executive VP, L&T, said, “The solar park provided us significant logistical ease besides economies of scale and scope, allowing us to complete multiple projects simultaneously within the government’s deadline. The experience and expertise gained over the installation of 114 MW in a year came in handy to handle the complete design, engineering, procurement and construction of this 6-MW fast-track solar power plant.” “We were able to complete the 6-MW solar project in a short time only because of the solar park infrastructure. Moreover, Gujarat Government’s disciplined periodic milestone reviews ensured timely progress of the solar park projects,” said Pankaj Sehgal, Head – Renewable Energy, Sun Group.

First Indian Canal-based Solar Power Plant Developed in Gujarat GUJARAT has developed India’s first canal-based solar power project by executing a 1-MW project on one of the branch canals of the Narmada canal network in the state. The project, which started functioning on February 22, 2012, on the Sanand branch canal near Chandrasan village of Mehsana district, was completed in six months, well Sustainable Source of Power ahead of a similar 1 -MW project in Punjab, where an official nod was given by the Punjab Government in June 2011. The state governments in Gujarat and Punjab—the two states have 19,000 km and 14,000 km of canal network, respectively—plan to take the canal-based solar projects ahead once the 1-MW pilot projects succeed. The Gujarat project, which has already generated 1.99 lakh units of electricity since February this year, has been officially ‘dedicated to the nation’ in an elaborated ceremony chaired by Chief Minister Narendra Modi at the project site. The canal-based solar project executed by Sun Edison

in Gujarat is a pilot project designed to eliminate the requirement of land. According to official estimates, 1 MW of solar project requires 5–7 acre of land. “We are the first state to implement such a unique project,” said Gurdeep Singh, MD, Gujarat State Electricity Corporation Ltd, which is one of the partners in the project along with Sardar Sarovar Narmada Nigam Ltd (SSNNL). The solar panels set up over 750-metre-long stretch of the Narmada branch canal will have a capacity to generate 16 lakh units of electricity annually. It will also prevent the evaporation of 90 lakh litre of water. The electricity generated here is fed to the grid of the Uttar Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Ltd, which supplies power to North Gujarat. “Even if 10% of the existing canal network can be used for setting up solar power plants, it will have a potential to install power generation capacity of 2,200 MW. This can eliminate the need for 11,000 acre of land that would have been required otherwise,” said Singh.

PROJECTS & PROSPECTS

NISHI RATH

ujarat has rightfully earned the status of being one of the leading industrial states in India. The manufacturing units here boast of world-class facilities and Gujarat undoubtedly offers best infrastructure for the manufacturing sector. Gujarat’s business-friendly environment and proactive bureaucracy are instrumental in attracting major industrial players from automobile, textiles, pharmaceuticals and

to companies like Ford India. In fact, Maruti Suzuki—the biggest company in India in terms of sales—also plans to invest `4,000 crore to set up its third manufacturing facility in Gujarat. But this is not all; two-wheeler manufacturer, Hero Motocorp, is also set to enter the state by setting up its fourth manufacturing unit at Halol.

joint venture, Bharti Walmart Pvt Ltd, has commenced work on the project on Anand-Sojitra Road. This will be its first mall in Gujarat in the wholesale format. Walmart’s next venture in Gujarat is likely to be in Ahmedabad, probably on Ahmedabad-Bagodara highway.

GUJARAT: THE PLACE TO BE MODEL FOR INDUSTRIAL GROWTH Gujarat has become a model for industrial growth for developing economies. The State Government

Equally important is the fact that global giants are not the only ones that are looking up to Gujarat as the ‘place to be’. The Gujarat Cooperative

Gujarat has emerged as the most lucrative investment destination in India and was successful in attracting the highest number of investment proposals worth `16.28 lakh crore in 2010–11. Last year, it bagged a share of 13.52% in the total live investments worth `120.34 lakh crore. Extending the advantage of these envious investments and global projects, the manufacturing ecosystem of Gujarat can expect a surge in unique and critical demands for men, material and machines towards turning these projects into milestones. It is time for manufacturers to align themselves with the growth & prospects. petrochemical sectors over the years. Out of the total proposals, Gujarat attracted 39.2% investments in electricity, 24.2% in manufacturing, 16.2% in services, 14.3% in real estate, 5.2% in irrigation and 0.9% in mining.

LOCATION ADVANTAGE The state’s ideal geographical location is very helpful for distributing the vehicles locally and shipping them to the overseas markets. In fact, this factor has made Gujarat the most preferred place for auto makers to set up their facility. Apart from Tata Motors, the state is also playing host

is also taking major steps to expand investment regions, special economic zones (SEZs), product clusters, industrial parks and industrial estates— a factor which has played a crucial role in Gujarat’s industrial development. Going by the latest developments, Volkswagen—the German major—is said to be looking at acquiring land around places like Ahmedabad and Vadodara for setting up its plant. Gujarat has also been successful in attracting the world’s largest retailer Walmart. The company plans to enter Gujarat via Anand, the milk capital of India. The retailer, through its Indian

Milk Marketing Federation Ltd (GCMMF), owners of Amul, has plans to invest about `3,000 crore in nine new processing units in the next four years.

Maruti Suzuki to Set Up a New Manufacturing ing Facility with an Investment of `4,000 crore

TheTheInvestment Investment Maruti Suzuki India Ltd (MSIL), India’s largest car maker by sales, would invest `4,000 crore in Gujarat—its biggest ever investment outside Haryana.

The TheProject Project MSIL has signed a State Support Agreement (SSA) with the Gujarat Government for purchasing land near Mehsana to set up an all-new manufacturing facility. This facility will help the company meet the potential domestic as well as international demand for its vehicles. The new 700-acre plant near Mehsana will be set up in a phased manner with an initial investment of `4,000 crore by 2015–16. The company will set up two units in two phases in the backward taluka of Mandal-Becharaji in Ahmedabad district. The first unit (in the first phase) will be set up near Becharaji, a historical town; while the second unit (in the second phase) will come up at a site around 25 km from Becharaji. The overall capacity in the first phase will be 2.5 lakh units. This new facility will take the company’s combined manufacturing capability to 2 million units. MSIL already has one factory each located in Manesar and Gurgaon, which can together produce 1.4 million vehicles a year. The Gujarat unit will be the company’s seventh production plant.

Why WhyGujarat? Gujarat? According to industry experts, the shift to Gujarat may be the company’s way of getting rid of the constant labour trouble that it has been facing at its Manesar plant over the past few years. However, the company claims that good infrastructure and high-quality workforce available in Gujarat were the key factors that lured it to set up its facility here. Besides, the presence of good ports and connectivity have also influenced the company’s decision to enter Gujarat. The new plant will be located around 100 km from Ahmedabad and around 300 km from Mundra Port— factors which will act as a boon in terms of providing good logistical support to the carmaker’s export programme.

Essar to Develop Ro-Ro Ferry Facility with an Investment of `225 crore

Courtesy: Gujarat Maritime Board

TheTheInvestment Investment Essar Projects—the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) arm of Ruias-led Essar Group—has bagged a `225 crore contract for the roll-on roll-off (Ro-Ro) ferry facility between Ghogha and Dahej from the Gujarat Government in January 2012. Earlier, the Gujarat Maritime Board (GMB) had earmarked `296 crore for the project.

The TheProject Project The project that would connect South Gujarat with Saurasthra through the Gulf of Khambhat (Cambay) is being developed by GMB and is expected to be completed in the next 15 months. The EPC contract to Essar involves the design and construction of Ro-Ro service terminals at both Ghogha and Dahej, besides building an approach bund of 609 mt, of which 497 mt will be in Ghogha and 112 mt will be in Dahej. The company will also design and construct an approach trestle of 562 mt, of which 472 metres will be at the Ghogha end, while 90 mt would be at the Dahej end. Besides, the company will develop seven Dolphins spread over 84 mt. Apart from the construction of the two terminals, GMB plans to run 2–3 ferry vessels daily to begin with. GMB has already invited bids from ferry operators for the same. The special vessels will carry loaded road vehicles (including buses and trucks) through the sea route. GMB has decided to develop the world-class Ro-Ro ferry terminal at Ghogha and Dahej in Phase 1. It will extend the Ro-Ro ferry service up to Mumbai in subsequent phases. With two gulfs (Gulf of Kutch and Gulf of Khambhat) dividing the state into three segments, Gujarat has the ideal location to run the ferry service.

TheTheAdvantages Advantages The Ro-Ro ferry facility for passenger and goods movement via the sea route, through the Gulf of Khambhat, will reduce the distance between the two Ghogha and Dahej from 360 km to a mere 31 km.

1. Essar Projects will not only design and construct the Ro-Ro terminals at both ports, it will also construct approach bunds, trestles, pontoons and link spans. 2. The approach bund at Ghogha will be 497 mt long; while the bund at Dahej will be 112 mt long. The approach trestles at Ghogha and Dahej will be 472 mt and 90 mt, mt respectively. 3. Gujarat Maritime Board has already invited tenders for running the ferry service between the two ports, viz., Ghogha and Dahej. 4. The project is expected to significantly reduce both transport costs and time as the 360-km land route route will be replaced by a 31-km sea route. *Ro-Ro: Roll-on Roll-off

This more than 80% reduction in distance will result in valuable savings in fuel costs and travel time, thereby contributing to a cleaner and greener Gujarat. The project is part of the Gujarat Government’s efforts to develop trade and transport infrastructure along its 1,600 km coastline. As part of this, it has constituted the Gujarat Coastal Area Development Board, which focusses not only on industrial development, but also aims to develop infrastructure for tourism, environment conservation, fisheries development and natural calamity management. Moreover, as work on the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) progresses, the demand for commercial transport is expected to exponentially rise in Gujarat; transport requirements from Dahej will also increase after the construction of the special economic zone near Dahej. Besides, the project will also restore the old glory of Ghogha, which used to hold an important position until Jamnagar Port was constructed.

In a free-wheeling interaction with SEARCH, its Vice Chairman & Managing Director, BB Swain, discusses the growth prospects of Gujarat and the plans that GIDC has for making Gujarat India’s top industrial state. Excerpts...

ILESTONES ACHIEVED ON THE PATH TO INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT

From developing product clusters in the early 1960s to now, Gujarat has moved ahead on the path of industrial development. The state today boasts of industrial estates, special economic zones (SEZ) and special investment regions (SIR), such as Ahmedabad-Dholera SIR, Petroleum, Chemicals & Petrochemical Investment Region (PCPIR) and Gujarat International Finance Tech City (GIFT). At present, the state is developing 13 SIRs with a focus on planned industrial development. Each SIR is a growth ecosystem in itself and creates new challenges and opportunities, thereby helping in the development of the state.

QUICK DECISION-MAKING AND DILIGENT

IMPLEMENTATION OF PROJECTS The vision of achieving and on-theground implementation of plans/ projects is the main reason behind Gujarat’s success. This is achieved through accountability at each level of hierarchy in the organisation and collectively contributing towards the industrial growth of the state.

ENABLING FACTORS Gujarat is known for its wellestablished infrastructure facilities across the state, proactive governance and simplification of procedures. Each project is given due importance and assistance from the government to ensure its successful implementation.

GUJARAT: A MAGNET FOR FOREIGN INVESTORS Foreign investors have indicated strong preference for Gujarat,

primarily because of the facilities, such as excellent infrastructure, minimal labour strife and experienced proactive governance measures, that we provide them. This kind of support, in turn, helps companies save a lot in terms of expenditure.

constraint for a developing nation like India. In the last decade, Indian machine tools industry has developed its core strengths in cost competitiveness. The only parameter of concern is quality now. However, we are not far away from the international benchmarks and it is only a matter of time before the Indian products start generating a certain level of confidence. In fact, some of the major Indian machine tools manufacturers are at par with any MNC in terms of cost competitiveness, quality and professional after-sales services. The Indian manufacturers surely have an edge in terms of cost parameters and better after-sales support.

THE CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES India is a land of opportunities! In the process of becoming a developed nation from a developing one, India has to focus more on the manufacturing sector. Currently, this sector contributes only 14–15% to the national GDP. The government is keen to uplift this share to 25% by 2020. This process itself will create huge opportunites for machine tools industry since the industry is considered as the mother of manufacturing industry. Therefore, scalability of demand would not be a

renewed focus on manufacturing will also boost the demand in machine tools industry.

EXPECTATIONS FROM GUJARAT

FUTURE BRIGHT

As of now, we are more than satisfied in terms of infrastructure, growth prospects and the business-friendly attitude of the state government. Also, better law and order situation in Gujarat has helped a great deal in creating a conducive environment for industries. The state government is committed to help the industries with sincere efforts with timely and hassle-free services. As a result, the state has eventually become the growth engine of the nation and attracts huge industrial investments. The future of the state looks bright and the industrial scenario looks promising.

At the same time, we foresee a huge demand, particularly in automobile/aerospace sector in the near future, which will act as a catalyst for machine tools industry. Moreover, the Indian government’s

We feel that there is still a gap between the human skill sets needed by the industry and a typical academic outflow. The government should work with the industry very closely and identify the future demands of the particular industries and should try to design the educational curriculum more in line with the industrial needs and requirements. This will surely increase the employability of our youth. Plus, the government should run more vocational programmes and encourage students to develop such skill sets that will help them to become employable for the industry.

ADVICE FOR NEW ENTREPRENEURS Entrepreneurship is a challenging task where you have to get out of your comfort zone. Also, there is always an element of risk at your doorstep. One has to be ready to face challenges at each juncture. Self-belief, courage, sincerity, passion and perseverance are true ingredients of a successful entrepreneur. vishesh.sharma@infomedia18.in

SSESSMENT OF THE INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT IN GUJARAT

One of the largest contributors to Gujaratâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s industrial excellence is the Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) community. This sector serves as an engine of accelerated growth as well as a nursery for entrepreneurial development. In India, SMEs contribute 45% of the industrial output, 40% of exports and 42 million in employment. The sector creates one million jobs every year and produces more than 8,000 quality products for the Indian and international markets. The entrepreneurship of the people of Gujarat is a great advantage. The workforce in Gujarat is reasonably skilled in areas such as diamonds,

chemicals, petrochemicals and pharma. The cost of labour is also competitive in Gujarat, which, along with the impressive infrastructure, adds to the overall productivity of the state. High urbanisation of Gujarat (40%) has also had a positive influence on its industrial growth.

ROLE OF EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS IN THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF GUJARAT Educational and training institutes play a vital role not only in complementing current growth rates, but also in sustaining long-term expansion. Higher education is a key factor in preparing the workforce with robust skills needed to adapt to changing job requirements. The transition from manufacturing to the technology-based new economy has dramatically raised the skill level needed to get a job.

Indo-German Tool Room (IGTR) started as a joint venture between the Indian and German Governments for collaboration in trade & technology. Technical cooperation focusses on the transfer of knowledge and skills as well as improving the conditions for their use. The unique setup of the tool rooms with production and training centres operating on a modern cost recovery concept ensures sustainability of the tool rooms in the long run. Thus, the tool rooms contribute to industrial development and social progress in India. IGTR-Ahmedabad has emerged as a premier institution that offers handson manpower training and support for all engineering industries across India. Through its tools rooms in Ahmedabad, Aurangabad and Indore, it tries to understand the requirements and challenges of local manufacturing units and customise its courses accordingly. It conducts diploma and certificate courses for students and employees. Some leading recruiters at IGTR include Honda, Mahindra & Mahindra and Tata Motors.

GUJARATâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S EDUCATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE NEXT DECADE Gujarat must focus on adopting the fundamentals such as developing skilled workers, improving quality of manpower, adopting environmentfriendly technologies, focussing on research & innovation and adopting technology at the grassroots level. Demographics also directly impacts the labour cost and skill availability, which are key competitive advantages for any nation. annabel.dsouza@infomedia18.in

Here, association chiefs answer the most critical question for 2012–13... SUMEDHA MAHOREY

YOUR DEMANDS FROM THE GUJARAT GOVERNMENT FOR YOUR INDUSTRIAL SECTOR We have been constantly interacting with the Gujarat Government to present our case. Our main demand is to create a level playing field for Sunil Kakkad, all Gujarat-based industries. President, Since the Information and Gujarat Electronics & Software Industries Communications Technology Association (GESIA) (ICT) industry is a late bloomer in Gujarat, we expect aid from the State Government in the form of qualitative and quantitative benefits, including cash incentives/price preference/framing the qualification criteria in tenders such that Guajrat-based companies can participate as either the main bidder or as a consortium partner and thus gain in terms of business volumes and experience.

CHALLENGES FACED BY YOUR ASSOCIATION As is the case with other associations, we also face the challenge of priority, i.e., the priorities of small-scale members differs from the priorities of members having large operations. We plan to overcome this issue by organising events centred around various segments of members so that justice is done to members of all sizes and categories.

YOUR DEMANDS FROM THE GUJARAT GOVERNMENT FOR YOUR INDUSTRIAL SECTOR

Mahavir Khatang, President, Gujarat State Plastic Manufacturers’ Association (GSPMA)

We want the Gujarat Government to: • Provide reasonably priced electricity to units • Ensure that the plastic industry is placed on the ‘continuous process’ list • Withdraw the proposal of 2% (deduction) input tax credit

YOUR VISION AS HEAD OF THE ASSOCIATION FOR 2012 I am determined to put GESIA on the national map. Even though we will remain Gujarat-centric, I want to make sure that GESIA becomes the voice of Gujarat’s ICT industry at the national as well as international levels.

EVENTS THAT YOUR ASSOCIATION IS HOLDING IN THE NEXT SIX MONTHS TO GAIN THE MAXIMUM FROM THE CURRENT GUJARAT SUCCESS STORY We, at GESIA, are planning a national-level interactive event in September–October 2012, which will revolve around the theme, ‘IT as an enabler for citizen-centric governance’. Besides, we will have various interactive sessions with thought leaders and a couple of training programmes related to the financial aspects of business centred on small and medium enterprises.

THE BENEFITS OF THESE MEETS FOR THE MEMBERS OF YOUR ASSOCIATION AND THE INDUSTRY AT LARGE Such seminars and events will act as a platform to forge strong business relationships and foster information exchange on a continuous basis. Moreover, the industry, at large, also stands to benefit as they will gain a thorough understanding of the local realities, expectations as well as creative developments at local level. This information will be useful as it will help business leaders take their businesses forward in the respective geographies.

• Increase the number of seats in plastic engineering courses • Emphasise on developing Application Development Centres, Centres for Excellence, Common Testing facilities to units • Promote the industry through cluster development.

CHALLENGES FACED BY YOUR ASSOCIATION The plastic industry is currently facing problems such as sudden & frequent price hike in polymers, erratic supply of raw materials, lack of sufficient skilled/technical manpower, high level excise duty, lack of quality infrastructure, lack of

organised and proper solid waste management.

YOUR VISION AS HEAD OF THE ASSOCIATION FOR 2012 To be globally competitive Gujarat have to have intelligent manufacturing and enhanced designed capabilities, conformation to best global practices in production & quality, effective energy management, efficient knowledge management and proficient supply chain management.

EVENTS THAT YOUR ASSOCIATION IS HOLDING IN THE NEXT SIX MONTHS TO GAIN THE MAXIMUM FROM THE CURRENT GUJARAT SUCCESS STORY GSPMA will be organising its sixth international plastics exhibition—Plexpoindia 2013—from January 8–13, 2013, at Gandhinagar along with Vibrant Gujarat Summit 2013. Plexpoindia 2013 will showcase live demonstrations of machinery, innovative products and latest technologies in the plastic industry and will reveal the latest developments in the plastic sector. It would be an ideal platform to help the industry strengthen ties with prospective customers. Besides, GSPMA also has plans to organise awareness seminars at Bhavnagar and Surat in the near future; wherein officials from MSME, NSIC, etc., will be invited to disseminate information regarding various government schemes for MSMEs.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF GUJARAT AS A HUB FOR THE PLASTICS PROCESSING INDUSTRY? The plastics industry in Gujarat is one of the oldest in India, contributing 2.17 per cent of India’s total exports and is worth $ 3,513 million. Gujarat is among the first states to establish polymer processing infrastructure. Most of India’s plastics business revolves around packaging, and as Gujarat contributes 65-70 per cent to the country’s plastics industry, it is home to many small and medium packaging industries as well. Gujarat’s plastics industry is witnessing an annual growth of over 15 per cent, with more than 70 per cent of polymers being produced in the

state. It is strategically located, boasts of consistent power supply and, thanks to Mundra and Pipavav, it has better connectivity and access to major domestic & international markets in the South East Asia region. Further, as a SEZ, Gujarat facilitates foreign direct investment with ease.

WHAT IS GUJARAT’S ROLE AS A MODEL OF INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT FOR INDIA? Gujarat is moving forward to become the ‘Petrocapital’ of India. The state accounts for 54% of India’s onshore crude and 39% of onshore natural gas production. It has 46% of India’s installed refining capacity and 60% of India’s total crude oil import facility. Gujarat is also host to refineries, chemicals and LNG terminals at Dahej & Hazira; chloralkali plants, soda ash plants and chemical fertiliser plants. Despite being known as the hub of chemical and petrochemical industry, the State Government has constituted the Gujarat Pollution Control Board to protect the environment.

WHAT ARE THE DEMAND DRIVERS FOR GUJARAT’S PLASTICS INDUSTRY? Key drivers contributing to the growth of this sector include latest innovations and technologies, coupled with high output machines and less power consumption. Since most machinery manufactured in Europe meet these criteria, there will be a lot of demand for used machinery from this region. Furthermore, a strong knowledge base of plastics processing machinery and new technologies— for both imported and indigenous machinery—widens the horizon for entrepreneurs. However, to complement our products, we need support from a few overseas brands as well as energy-efficient solutions in our portfolio. With over 72,000 tonne of plastics consumed per month, Gujarat is arguably the second largest state after Uttar Pradesh. Gujarat shall soon take the lead at processing plastics and exporting it. The presence of Indian OEMs has contributed heavily to the economic progress of the state.

environmental demands and shift of value towards suppliers are some of the factors that have significantly changed the dynamics of this sector. The future of the Indian automotive industry will depend on exploiting its known competitive advantages and identifying & exploiting new competitive advantages. With an aim to build the ‘Rajkot Automotive Network’ and forge strong bonds with European countries, the Rajkot Engineering Association has done the following: • Identify and share good practices and methodologies in

network management • Assist MSMEs belonging to Rajkot Automotive Network to enter Indian and European cooperation projects • Discuss and agree on policy recommendations to be forwarded to local, state and national policy makers • Develop joint activities and projects focussing on establishing strong collaborative partnerships with other networks & network management organisations, (initially across India) with the main long-term goal of linking to similar networks in Europe.

YOUR DEMANDS FROM THE GUJARAT GOVERNMENT FOR YOUR INDUSTRIAL SECTOR We want the Government of Gujarat to refund the 2% input tax credit to industrialist as well as traders, which has been deposited with the State Exchequer as of now. Also, the additional tax on VAT, which has been imposed, is making goods costlier in Gujarat and, therefore, needs to be eliminated with immediate effect. Last but not the least, the electricity charges need to be reduced.

CHALLENGES FACED BY YOUR ASSOCIATION As far as the challenges faced by our association are concerned, we feel that despite having representations in all State and Central Government offices, our actions, suggestions and genuine demands are not paid heed to, and this is a concern. In order to redress these issues, we have asked the respective departments to organise ‘open house’ discussions and grievance redressal meets. (There are times when we prefer to meet a higher authority or a minister personally at Gandhinagar and get the desired results.) Among the other challenges encountered, industries have been facing problems such as shortage of manpower, price hike in raw materials, etc. Our association plans to redress these problems sector-wise so that proper attention and weightage is given to each issue. For instance, we are now finalising on the setting up a laboratory, i.e., a common facility centre, to ensure speedy testing of submersible & electric pumps for facilities at Rajkot. This, in turn, will strengthen our members’ business needs. sumedha.mahorey@infomedia18.in

Evincing Positivity @ the Time of Caution Dip is the dreaded word for economies across the globe. With GDPs and morales dipping, the manufacturing fraternity all over the world has adopted a cautious approach to sail through the troubled times. However, this scenario has not deterred companies in Gujarat from implementing active steps towards enhancing their customer base and offering better quality products in the market. ARINDAM GHOSH

We have always believed in developing tailor-made solutions to suit our clientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; requirements and implementing such manufacturing practices will ensure higher levels of customer satisfaction. But while trying to achieve these, there are some major challenges we face. Firstly, importing these equipment means that we have to deal with high levels of duty and tax. This problem is further compounded by the fact that depreciation of the rupee has made imports costlier. Secondly, lack of skilled labour to handle such machinery is also a major challenge. In order to tackle this challenge, we will be conducting various training and other skill upgradation programmes for our workers, which will help them to handle these machines easily. Pritesh Patel, MD, IMI Machine Tools, Ahmedabad

Since the establishment of our company in 2002, we have always focussed on offering products to meet the requirements of our customers, and more importantly, at reasonable prices. And now, in our quest to enhance our customer base and strengthen our business, we are introducing Hydraulic Parking Lift for residential and commercial purposes. Also, in the next few years, we may also opt for an IPO. Considering the set of initiatives that we are planning to take up, we expect to see a strong growth in our business in the near future. However, given the existing economic slowdown in the market, making any predictions at the moment is difficult. Veena Parikh, MD, Shashwat Systems, Ahmedabad

Given the ever-rising prices of raw materials, our survival has become difficult. Since we never compromise on the quality of our products, we are faced with a more challenging scenario. In order to tackle this situation, we have recently established a new manufacturing unit at Rajkot, from where we procure 90% of raw materials for our casting products. It has reduced our transportation cost and, in the process, has made us more competitive. At the same time, we are also moving cautiously in the market. Bipin Siddhapura, CEO, Sahyog Enterprise, Bhavnagar, & CEO, Siddhapura Machines, Rajkot

The Gujarat Government is taking active steps to encourage MSMEs to adopt design in their system. Some of the major benefits of ‘design’ include improvement in the product delivery system, innovation and an opportunity to maximise business. If we compare our products in terms of technology and engineering with those of China, we have always been at par with them. But when it comes to ‘design’ or ‘look and feel’ for a product, Chinese solutions will score more than their Indian counterparts, as they have strongly implemented design and design-based learning in their manufacturing systems. However now, the Indian companies are realising the importance of implementing systematic design learning and are also taking up various initiatives. Presently, in India, we need about 10,000 design experts in various industries who can play a critical role in ensuring our country’s overall productivity and efficiency.

Gujarat has been on the radar of the major economies of the world with its long-standing trade links with Europe, West Asia and African countries. The state has a 1,600 km long coastline— the longest in the country—making it an attractive location for overseas investors. Gujarat’s excellent infrastructure makes it one of the most favourable destinations for investors. With the available infrastructure, the state is moving ahead to attract investors in newer areas such as medical devices’ manufacturing, the development of educational and entertainment hubs and automobiles & infrastructure development.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Gujarat’s GSDP and per capita GSDP have shown all the signs of a developed and urbanised economy. The state has maintained its high rank in key economic indicators among the Indian states. Gujarat has emerged as a leading industrialised state in the country, proving to be the ultimate destination for many investors, both within and outside India. Despite the tremors of the global meltdown, Gujarat has continued to witness impressive industrial

development. The state has received acknowledgments of 9,216 Industrial Entrepreneurs Memorandum (IEM) filed by entrepreneurs till September 2009 with an estimated investment of `5,761 billion (US$128 billion). As per an NCAER report, ‘FDI in India & its growth linkages, 2009’, sponsored by Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion, Government of India, approximately 400 FDI firms have registered offices spread over 21 states/Union Territories, out of which Maharashtra and Gujarat have a high concentration. Gujarat has about 12% of the registered offices of FDI manufacturing firms in India. There are 401 FDI manufacturing firms that have 1,273 plants in India. About 11% of these plants are located in Gujarat. Employment originating in FDI manufacturing firms varies widely across states in the country. Gujarat accounts for about 6.2% of the total employment.

GUJARAT’S STANDING IN COMPARISON TO GLOBAL INVESTMENT DESTINATIONS Gujarat has always been at the forefront in terms of adopting new strategies to attract investments into the state. It has taken various innovative initiatives for promoting investment and has been successful in showcasing the state as one of India’s preferred investment destinations. The key drivers for investments are Gujarat’s robust infrastructure, its strong manufacturing base, transparent governance and investment promotion

initiatives such as the Vibrant Gujarat Summit (VGS). As per the NCAER report, with its aggressive marketing of investorfriendly policies and fast-developing infrastructure, Gujarat became the second highest state in terms of foreign investment. But the state needs to do more to attract global investments and further improve its share of investment inflows by analysing its attractiveness in relation to other competing FDI destinations across the globe. As part of the study, ‘Gujarat’s Attractiveness Model in a Changing World’, conducted by Ernst & Young (E&Y), 10 globally preferred investment destinations were identified to investigate the detailed strategic policy-level interventions and local initiatives contributing to each destination’s large pool of incoming FDI. The study follows from the previous analysis conducted by and for the government into external perceptions regarding Gujarat and describing the expectations of important national and international influencers. There are a number of heterogeneous audiences to which Vibrant Gujarat would ideally target its activities, and a number of discrete ways in which the Government of Gujarat needs to communicate to reach these groups. In terms of key government policy measures, Indian corporations frequently express views on a range of matters from the various incentives available for educational reform. The Government of Gujarat also

understands that transparency and good governance are key drivers of international investment and actively promote the same. Other factors would include standards in English, infrastructural issues and the extent to which growth is spread across classes and geographies. In terms of social measures, the Government has acted to improve the quality of life for every section of Gujarati society as well as the expatriates. Finally, one of the key findings was that the Government needs to take more long-term investment promotion measures such as the need to reach out to more international chambers of commerce and economic bodies as well as attract major Indian companies to the State which will, in turn, attract major international companies. The state is also continually broadening the scope of VGS, organising more international road shows and incorporating success stories and examples of innovation into the State’s branding. The Government understands the need to bring ever-more intellectual capital into the State and enhance its focus on specific industrial sectors as well as developing specific clusters. This E&Y report thus provides

in-depth analysis of all the identified globally preferred investment destinations and findings regarding the best practices adopted by these destinations, specifically to uncover the current status and trend of the FDI flow into these regions; each identified location’s key FDI drivers; the policy level initiatives taken by the Government; the industrial trend and the impact of large-scale FDI on growth in any specific industry, and; the current and future competitiveness and attractiveness of each region.

KEY LEARNING The in-depth analysis of all the ten identified destinations gives the details about the strategies adopted by the destination to attract investments. The key learning from various destinations which can be implemented in Gujarat to attract investments have been shown in Table 1. After considering these takeaways, certain actions have been identified, which will lead to increased positive perception about Gujarat as a preferred investment destination. These actions have been modified considering existing legal and institutional structure. These actions are classified in terms of adaptability

and its possible impact on Gujarat’s attractiveness model. The actions were classified as having higher or lower impact depending on our analysis of these destinations and the impact similar initiatives could generate in these destinations. Also the adaptability of the actions were defined based on the policy shift required and the existing policy framework.

KEY ACTIONS REQUIRED E&Y has identified a few actions to improve the attractiveness of Gujarat in the country/world and to attract more investments, based on the analysis of other international FDI destinations. These actions are as listed in Table 2 (Key Considerations). The suggestions mentioned in the above table would require policy level interventions from the Government of Gujarat for practical implementation. Each of these initiatives will create a larger impact if taken comprehensively. The positive impact of these suggestions, if implemented, will be realised in the longer run. The article is an excerpt from Ernst & Young’s report, ‘Gujarat’s Attractiveness Model in a Changing World’ for iNDEXTb’.
