The delay is only by 12 days. It is to be kindly noted that all the invoices were raised well before the validity (31.12.2023). The main cause for the delay was due to unfortunate break down of one of the transport truck. They had lost precious time in making alternate arrangements, therefore the last shipment got delayed in reaching the customs and generation of shipping bill was delayed. Due to this reason DGFT, Nagpur has issued a deficiency letter stating that the above shipping bills cannot be considered for calculation of EO. Due to this pest the quality of cotton has been severely impacted. Most of the cotton produced in their area has been rejected in the export markets. 3rd party export complications: After all these difficulties, they have gained lot of experience in past 7 years. Third party exports require many additional documents and compliances which again have added more processing time to the export process.

Applicant Statement: The applicant stated that Present status & time taken for USFDA to approve BE report. As required by USFDA, a new CRO named ScitusPharma Services Pvt. Ltd. located in Chennai, Tamil Nadu has been identified and the BE studies will now be re-conducted at the said CRO. Among various processes involved in BE studies, Scitus along with Eywa will be initiating the Bio Study protocols in due course. In this connection, the time taken to complete the BE studies including preparation of BE report, in most cases, is approximately 6 months. The report pertaining to BE studies after completion will once again be submitted to USFDA for approval. USFDA takes a minimum of 8 months from the date of submission of data to provide such approval. Eywa will be able to market the finished product only after USFDA validates the above data and provides the approval.

Subject: Request for closure of Authorizations against 13 Advance Authorization Numbers.

Applicant Statement: The applicant stated that in a year, they export around 60,000 shipments and obtain about 300 SAAs from Bangalore and New Delhi R.As. The export obligation is fulfilled normally within a period of three to four months and redemptions are applied regularly. Over the years, in very few cases (13 in number), it so happened that after they obtained SAAs and made imports; the buyers changed the design/specification/size of the Garments to be exported. At that point of time, they were not in a position to dishonour the Orders and hence manufactured and exported Garments as per the revised Orders. They approached NC for the fixation of Norms in all these cases. The NC did not take up these cases as the facility for obtaining SAA on Self-Declaration basis was not available in the earlier policy periods. In its meeting dated 28.03.23, they were given a Personal Hearing and during the hearing, they were orally advised by the NC to approach the PRC. The exports have been made within the valid export obligation period and the foreign exchange stand realized. All the inputs have duly been accounted for. The RAs and the Customs are asking them again and again to get the bond redeemed. Hence they are requesting to allow relaxation for the fixation of norms by the NC on PostExport basis for regularization purposes against subject authorizations.

M/s. Minda Kosei Aluminum Wheel Private Limited, Haryana...

F.No.HQRPRCAPPLY00007863AM24

Subject: Request for Third Party Exports.

This is a defer case of PRC Meeting No.03/AM25 held on 25.04.2024 (Case No.49) wherein Committee decided that previous submissions made by the firm before PRC and the decision thereon may be collated and placed before the PRC taking a holistic view.

Applicant Statement: The matter was taken up. The entire submission made by the applicant was gone through. The applicant stated that Adverse Impact on Trade

Post the commencement of manufacturing by the Applicant, the domestic market witnessed an increased demand for alloy wheels. This increase in domestic demand was caused due to preponement of MSILs (Maruti) expansion plan and increased demand of OEMs customers for cars fitted with alloy wheels. This demand (which would have otherwise been met by import because of few low-scale domestic manufacturers) was met by the Applicant. During the period 2016-17 until 2021-22, the total no of Alloy wheels manufactured by the Applicant and supplied to MSIL which were ultimately exported by MSIL outside India is approximately INR 134 crores in value. Had the Applicant not fulfilled this sudden domestic demand, MSIL alone would have had to import alloy wheels valuing INR 2,046.66 crores. Therefore, if the Applicant had exported directly outside (which though was impossibility), there would have been an adverse impact on trade because the OEMs would have been forced to import the alloy wheels.

, if the Applicant had exported directly outside (which though was impossibility), there would have been an adverse impact on trade because the OEMs would have been forced to import the alloy wheels. Genuine Hardship 2016 onwards (when the Applicant commenced manufacturing) the international automobile sector witnessed a decline due to macro-economic factors which by 2018 saw a negative growth reaching almost -17% with the onset of COVID-19. At the same time there were dumping trends from China in the international market which was impossible for the Applicant to compete. This decreasing demand of cars outside India persisted until the international market completely recovered from COVID pandemic. The nature of alloy wheels is also such that its usage is limited to its application in cars alone. Further, the procurement of contract for supply of wheels is highly technical involving months of testing for safety concerns before any contract for export can be finalized. Therefore, the Applicant submits that it was impossibility for it to meet its EO in the face of act of god in the nature of COVID pandemic. Hence they are requesting to allow third party export against various EPCG authorizations.

Decision: The Committee examined the case on the basis of submission made by the firm and discussed the matter at length. After detailed discussion it was decided to defer the case.
