It’s a hard reality that India will not be competitive enough to trade with Eurasian countries Why?
India is always on the loosing side with Eurasia & The Biggest Factor for keeping it isolated are - 1. Expensive freight 2. Underexploited business opportunities
Acceptability of Indian Products in Eurasian Region We may not be ‘socially analogous’ to Eurasian economies but our trade basket is definitely complimenting The big phenomenon is that “Made in India” tag sells but is not currently selling
Big Reality .. India is a “TRUSTED QUALITY” supplier in Eurasian countries & Easily Ranks above China* in the list of most trusted suppliers * Industrial feedback as received by our trade interactions
Lets look at the total availablePossible Options for bolstering Market Presence !! Proliferating Exports Private Large scale investments Government investments Not a viable option as observed India is not an active ODI player & little government influencing capacity Already active in following the global Trend of investing in natural resources
Our suggestion: Only available option is to instigate: Private SME Investments To manufacture in Eurasian Region to access the local market & utilizing Indian expertise for availing: Market acceptability Market Access Trade Competitiveness • Can we manufacture using the local or imported raw material in cleverly identified SEZ locations to substitute the European & Chinese imports of the Eurasian market and establish an Indian product locally made phenomenon ? • The idea is heavily synergized with the Eurasian policy of import substitution in over 18 sectors & 800 products
Predominant SEZ setups of Eurasian region St. Petersburg SEZ- Russia Travel time through air route from New Delhi : 9 hrs 30 mins (approx.) Tomsk SEZ Tomsk Region- Russia Travel time through air route from New Delhi : 6 Hours approx Zelenograd SEZ- Russia Travel time through air route from New Delhi: 6 hrs 20 mins (approx.) Bishkek SEZ- Kyrgyzstan Travel time through air route from New Delhi : 3 hrs 10 mins (approx.) DubnaSEZ Moscow Region- Russia Travel time through air route from New Delhi : 6 hrs 20 mins (approx.) Tashkent SEZ- Uzbekistan Travel time through air route from New Delhi : 3 hrs (approx.)
All Ingredients for making a SME Success story emerge in force: • Easy accessibility of raw materials • Competitive Logistics • Free Corridor Movements between SEZ’s & Ports • Product price Competitiveness for the local market • Business friendly regulations and tax benefits • Utilization of Manufacturing Expertise • Multiple Market Access – East & West access • Financial security through common economic markets • Adding to GNP of the country & earning foreign exchange
How Government can buttress? DPA model: • Can the government consider an idea of promoting industrial presence of Indian companies in strategic overseas markets by providing shared financial assistance to the investor ? • Can such assistance be considered an activity categorized under the approach of Development partnership Assistance with the partner nations? • The benefits accrued are mutually fruitful in the long term • Aggressive physical presence in local market will be the need of the future business expansion for Indian enterprise.
How Government can buttress? Chabahar model Re-Visited: • Government may not invest in funding foreign infrastructure & logistics but get it for free from the partner countries. • Instead channelize the funding in aiding the industry setups and creating massive Indian industrial presence. • At 2cr average per investor, 250 manufacturing units will emerge in an investment of 500 crores & can add upto 15000 crores of immediate business
Indian made Eurasian Product • Aggressive Branding will add to global enthusiasm, which will further augment the acceptability of “Indian” Products globally. • Countering Chinese aggression- Low cost credit created huge manufacturing bases pumping competitive products vis a vis Indian expertise decentralized in strategic centers and adding value for local business presence. • “Made in Eurasia by India” Kind of concept needs to be promoted through Government Initiatives. • Country-specific special economic zones (SEZs) are not common but given Uzbekistan’s push to its India policy, Tashkent is setting up an SEZ exclusively for Indian companies – Win Win condition for Indian SMEs to capture market share
