Recommendations for 12 th Five Year Plan for Capital Goods & Engineering Sector 11<br />

5.3Critical factors that inhibit the development <strong>of</strong> capital goods sector<br />

particularly in creation <strong>of</strong> additional capacities and diversification to meet the<br />

emerging requirement <strong>of</strong> growing needs <strong>of</strong> the industry.<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Capital Goods Sector is highly fragmented with majority <strong>of</strong> units in SME<br />

Sector.<br />

Technology pr<strong>of</strong>ile <strong>of</strong> domestic products is from basic to intermediate.<br />

Support facilities, technology development institutions and skilled man-power<br />

lags behind global standards.<br />

Inverted duty structure and other economic parameters favours imports as<br />

preferred source <strong>of</strong> supply.<br />

Higher cost <strong>of</strong> production and other impediment.<br />

5.4Critical segments where the domestic capital goods industry has remained<br />

stagnant in spite <strong>of</strong> growing domestic demand.<br />

Domestic capital goods industry remained stagnant in the following sectors in spite <strong>of</strong><br />

growing domestic demand.<br />

High Technology multi spindle five axes machine tools<br />

Automatic Shuttle-less looms, cone winders, garmenting machinery.<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Slag granulation plant, steel melting converters, continuous casting<br />

equipment<br />

High capacity electric dump trucks, walking draglines, longwall mining<br />

system and continuous miners<br />

Coal gassifires, super critical technology<br />

5.5The extent <strong>of</strong> technology transfer and enhancement <strong>of</strong> production capacities<br />

in last five years in this sector through Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Joint<br />

Ventures and Wholly Owned Subsidiaries (WOS).<br />

Machine tools sector is dotted by individual techno-entrepreneurs. Though, a<br />

number <strong>of</strong> MNCs are also present in India by opening technical centres to facilitate<br />

exports to India, FDI in machine tools have been marginal (app. Rs. 1300 crore<br />

during last 5 years) and have not been a vehicle for major technology transfers.<br />

High Technology equipments in capital goods sector are continued to be imported.<br />

Joint-ventures and Wholly Owned Subsidiaries are liberally allowed under automatic<br />

route. Still, due to unfavourable economic system and easy import <strong>of</strong> the<br />

machineries, major global manufacturers have not set up the manufacturing plants.<br />

More or less same situation prevails in other capital goods sectors except in<br />

earthmoving and mining equipment sector which remains an assembly based sector<br />

and process plant equipment which has developed export market based on its<br />

intermediate level <strong>of</strong> technology.<br />
