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 />
