  5. THE INDIAN BUSINESS EVOLUTION 1990 ONWARDS IT ENABLES INDIA 2000 ONWARDS A VOICE TO THE PEOPLE 2005 ONWARDS THE ERA OF INFRA 2012 ONWARDS WHAT’S NEXT? 1970 ONWARDS KEEPING IT IN THE FAMILY 1980 ONWARDS INDIA EMBRACES TRADE GDP growth from 2012 assumed at 6% p.a.

  6. MAJOR SUCCESSES OF FTWZ – ‘game changer for global economies’ ATTRACTIVENESS OF JAFZA JAFZA JAFZA contributes over 26% of Dubai’s GDP and generates 160,000 direct jobs by servicing over 6,400 companies from the zone and contributes to 25% of Dubai Port’s container traffic SINGAPORE Singapore FTZ’s has over 7,000 companies operate through these zones. Due to FTZs this island nation has become the gateway to Southeast Asia & a Global Distribution Hub for international companies EMPLOYMENT IN JAFZA AND TENANT COMPANIES (2006) WAIGAOQIAO Waigaoqiao FTZ in Shanghai has over 9,300 companies registered in the zone, including 135 of the Fortune 500 companies. From an economically backward country in 1970 to its gigantic success, FTZs have been the single most critical macroeconomic factor for China’s rise Source: PWC report for JAFZA FTZ

  7. INDIA INCOMPETENT AS A REGIONAL HUB THE BIG THREE REASONS AS TO‘WHY FTWZ’ FOR INDIA 4.1X (source: Mckinsey Report) • While Consumption in India will grow in real terms from USD 378 billion presently to USD 1.56 trillion by 2025 a fourfold increase, reality is that : • India ranks 13th in terms of importing world products, consuming just over 2% of globally produced merchandise, but growing @ 35% • While by 2020, India is projected to have an additional 47 million working population, almost equal to the total world shortfall, with an average Indian age of 29 fuelling our ability to become a manufacturing mecca of the world, reality is that: • India ranks 20th as per WTO in terms of exporting world products contributing just over 1.4% of globally consumed merchandise, but growing @ 31% • India's container throughput in CY10 was around 9 million TEU's, as compared to Dubai (12 million), Singapore (28 million) & China (163 million) • Indicating zero penetration to the Value Addition, Hubbing and Re-Export market leveraging our cost and skill arbitrage

  8. BUSINESS POTENTIAL FOR INDIA To/From Singapore Consolidation / De-consolidation cargo business constitutes approximately USD 12.47 billion to the GDP and 19.2 million TEUs • 30% of this potential translates to USD 3.74 billion to the GDP and 5.76 million TEUs for INDIA To/From Dubai • Consolidation/ De-consolidation constitutes approximately USD 12.08 billion to the GDP and 6 million TEUs • 30% of this potential translates to USD 3.62 billion to the GDP and 1.8 million TEUs for INDIA Thus, if India realizes 30% of Dubai’s & Singapore’s cargo volumes it will translate to an additional USD 7.36 billion (INR 36,000 crores) as a direct contribution to India’s GDP & increase container volumes at Indian ports by 7.56 million TEUs The extended potential will also generate three times additional indirect revenues due to increased supporting activities and will contribute USD 22 billion (INR 110,000 crores) to India’s GDP

  9. ABOUT FREE TRADE & WAREHOUSING ZONES (FTWZ) WHAT IS IT ? • GOI Introduces the Free Trade & Warehousing Zones Policy, as part of Foreign Trade Policy (FTP) 2004-2009 Governed by the SEZ ACT,2005 & SEZ Rules,2006 Warehousing zone designated as foreign territory within India WHAT IS IT INTENDED FOR? • To make India into a global trading hub like China, Dubai and Singapore ACTIVITIES ALLOWED WITHIN AN FTWZ Storage Handling Transportation Packing Documentation Labeling Crating Strapping Washing Bottling Bubble wrapping Tagging Painting Cutting Bagging Palletization Quality Assurance Consolidation Repairs & Maintenance Cartonization Refurbishment
