Impressive growth reiterates FIEO’s assessment of exporters’ order booking position

India’s April exports yet again showed an impressive performance on the back of extremely good order booking position, starting the new fiscal on a positive note, FIEO President Sharad Kumar Saraf said on 2 May 2021.

“The impressive growth reiterates our assessment that order booking position of our exporters is extremely good and with gradual improvement of situation in the country, will push exports growth further,” he said.

Over 15% growth on the base of April 2019 is a better indicator and reflects a positive double digit trend, he underlined.

Saraf particularly emphasised that the growth in labour-intensive sectors like Gems & Jewellery, Handicrafts and Carpets augur well for the job scenario, which is most relevant in the current context.

Such a growth has been mainly on account of 29 out of 30 major product groups of exports showing either a very impressive high positive growth starting with four digit and almost all ending with a very high double digit growth continuously defying all the odds for the second time during the year 2021 as still the global economy is passing through these challenging times.

He listed products and commodities that contributed to the improved April exports.

These are: Gems and Jewellery, Jute manufacturing, including floor covering, Carpets, Handicrafts exclusives, Hand-made carpet, Leather and leather manufactures, RMG of All Textiles, Cotton yarn/fabrics/made-ups, handloom products etc., Man-made yarn/fabrics/made-ups etc., Ceramic products and glassware, Other cereals, Electronic Goods, Oil meals, Cashew, Mica, coal and other ores, minerals including process, Engineering goods, Tobacco, Iron ore, Petroleum products, Cereal preparations and miscellaneous processed item, Oil Seeds, Meat, dairy and poultry products, Tea, Marine products, Spices, Coffee, Organic and Inorganic Chemicals, Rice, Plastic and linoleum, Fruits and vegetables and Drugs and pharmaceuticals.

Saraf also added that such a growth performance in exports during the first month of the new financial year augurs well for the sector as it will help in paving a new growth path for the sector as a whole during the fiscal.

The FIEO Chief also reiterated that the continuous support and help provided by the Government during these difficult times has been commendable.

He further thanked the overall exporting community for continuously showing resilience and coming up with impressive performance even during these torrid times.

Further an increase in April 2021 imports by about 166% to US$45.45 billion compared to the same period during the previous fiscal led to a trade deficit of US$15.24 billion, which is an increase of over 120% during the month. This is definitely a concern and should be looked into.

The FIEO President reiterated that though the government has announced a slew of measures on exports, imports, banking and taxation front, the need of the hour is to soon notify the RoDTEP rates to remove uncertainty from the minds of the trade and industry thereby helping in further forging new contracts with the foreigner buyers.

Saraf also reiterated that the government must address some of the key issues including announcement of the new FTP soon after September 2021, release of the necessary funds for RoDTEP, MEIS and clarity on SEIS benefits, softening of freight charges, resolving risky exporters’ issues and continuance of seamless refund of IGST.

Besides long pending demand for the creation of an Export Development Fund for marketing of Brand India products and various other infrastructure bottlenecks also needs to be looked into to bring back exports on the double-digit growth trajectory, he said. #exports #manufacturing #trade #investment #funding /fiinews.com
