However, applications finalized (including applications already rejected) before the issuance of the said public notice were not to be re-assessed basis this notice. Annexure to the aforesaid public notice specifying the ITC (HS) codes for which MEIS applications to be processed after matching the description did not include ITC (HS) code 87085000.

Further, DGFT vide trade notice no. 26/2018 dated 23 March 2018 instructed all Regional Authorities to consider MEIS applications rejected before issuance of aforesaid public notice as well. Thus, MEIS applications rejected before 16 February 2018 may be re- processed on the basis of aforesaid public notice.

This is defer case of PRC Meeting No.10AM25 held on 12.07.2024 (Case No.12) wherein Committee decided to defer the case. Applicant Statement: The matter was taken up. The entire submission made by the applicant was gone through. The Skoda Volkswagen Group invested a sum of around INR 8,000 Crore for INDIA 2.0 Project (Project 2.0) to launch new cars using the State of the Art technology at the automobile manufacturing facilities located in Pune and Aurangabad. The Group is further committed to invest Euro 1.5 billion (i.e. INR 13,550 crores, approximately) in the next 10 years. In the course of setting up the facility for newly launched MQB technology, the Company imported capital goods under the 45 EPCG Authorizations obtained in FY 2019-20, FY 2020-21 and FY 2021-22. Hitherto, the cars have been manufactured using the old PQ technology which had become obsolete and outdated.

The capital goods used in PQ technology and MQB technology are completely different and cannot be interchangeably used, and the said fact is also confirmed as per the report submitted by the reputed Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. On the one side, old capital goods which were used to manufacture the old cars of PQ technology have been scrapped/ disposed-off by the month of February 2022 and on the other side, inadvertently, the export of old cars undertaken by using the said old machineries was considered for the purpose of Average Export Obligation , “|

2+ (AEO) while making applications for the 45 EPCG Authorizations. Due to this, the Company is saddled with the requirement of fulfilling AEO for which no means whatsoever are available with the Company. In fact, the Company was hit by several factors. Firstly, the aforesaid inadvertent error occurred while filing applications for obtaining the subject EPCG Authorizations. Secondly, even when the said applications could have been easily withdrawn (as imports and installation of new capital goods got delayed by 1.5 to 2 years due to COVID-19) and fresh applications for new EPCG Authorizations would have been filed however, the Company could not take the said corrective steps given that the functioning of our offices and manufacturing plants was badly affected due to COVID-19 pandemic.

ons would have been filed however, the Company could not take the said corrective steps given that the functioning of our offices and manufacturing plants was badly affected due to COVID-19 pandemic. The given situation has led the Company to such an enormous difficulty. Further, the Company has scrapped/ disposed-off most of the old capital goods by the month of February 2022 and correspondingly the production of old cars is completely stopped. Although the EPCG Authorizations were obtained from 2019- 20 onwards, the production of new cars commenced only in the year 2021/ 2022. If the Company had surrendered the subject EPCG Authorizations and re-applied for fresh EPCG Authorizations, the AEO could have been automatically reduced. We are hereby submitting additional submissions @€nclosed herewith) for your kind consideration in order to seek appropriate relaxation(s) with respect to the Average Export Obligation (AEO) given the following unique facts and circumstances of the Company: i. The Volkswagen (VW) Group has already made substantial investments into the Mega Projects in India; the erstwhile PQ Project (INR 4974 crores) and the India 2.0 Project MQB Technology (more than INR 5000 crores). With respect to the investment pertaining to India 2.0 Project (MQB Technology), the importation and subsequent installation of machinery got delayed until FY 2021-22 on account of various factors such as nationwide lockdown, worldwide disruptions in the supply chain, restrictions on the foreign travel of expatriate engineers for assisting in installations etc.

22 on account of various factors such as nationwide lockdown, worldwide disruptions in the supply chain, restrictions on the foreign travel of expatriate engineers for assisting in installations etc. Effectively, more than half of imported machinery were installed in FY 2021-22. ii. Consequent to the above, the commencement of production of new aged cars was delayed and accordingly, the first export of these new cars could be undertaken in FY 2021- 22. iii. The Company always had an option of importing new machinery under the fresh EPCG Authorization(s) instead of continuing to import the same under original EPCG Authorizations. In that event, the AEO would have been significantly lower and thereby would have been automatically reduced. iv. The entire old machinery of the erstwhile PQ Technology has been dismantled and disposed of as scrap in February 2022. Further, the new machinery is incapable of manufacturing old cars, and the new aged cars of the latest ?MQB technology? cannot be manufactured using old machinery, “a1

ras as per the report issued by IIT Kharagpur. v. The VW Group is envisaging aproposed additional investment to the tune of Euro 1.50 billion (INR 12,000 crores), which is in line with the Make in India? initiative of the Government, and the said additional investment apart from avoiding dependency on fossil fuel vehicles, will also create employment opportunities for the domiciles in India. Prayer to the Hon'ble PRC: Given the above unique circumstances of the Company, following relaxation(s) are being sought from your good self and the Hon’ble PRC vide the enclosed additional submission: e The AEO requirement to be dispensed with post FY 2021-22 considering that the old machinery of PQ technology was completely scrapped/ disposed of in the month of February 2022. e Alternatively, the AEO qua45 EPCG Authorizations to be re-fixed on the basis of three years export performance from 2018-19 to 2020-2021 and the said EPCG Authorizations to be considered as obtained in FY 2021-22 for fulfilment of export obligation.

We would like to bring to your kind notice that we were unable to complete the exports in the specified time duration because of various reasons. We would like to elaborate below. Supply chain disruptions: The supply chain was disrupted all over the world due to the Lock downs imposeda

29 because of the Covid Pandemic. Due to this reason all transportation systems have been under immense pressure and were not working to their full capacity. Due to this reason we were unable to complete the exports in time. Fall in FIBC Market: As seen from the data above from Ministry of commerce & Industry, is it clearly seen that the FIBC sector has fallen by 30% approximately from 2021-22 to 2022- 23. This fall in demand has increased the competition in the International market. Due to this reason we were unable to complete the exports in time.

fallen by 30% approximately from 2021-22 to 2022- 23. This fall in demand has increased the competition in the International market. Due to this reason we were unable to complete the exports in time. Non applicability of MEIS & ROSCTL: Adding to above problems our industry has been hit by another decision of the policy makers. Through Public Notice No. 58/2015-20 dt 29.01.2020 MEIS has been discontinued for products falling under chapters 61,62 and 63 of ITC HS effective for exports made from 07.03.2019 as ROSCTL scheme has been introduced for those products. And to make the situation even worse, our product is not included in the ROSCTL list of approved products. This made the pricing of the products even difficult and overseas buyers have been opting for cheaper products from other countries. Therefore, in the light of the above events, we very humbly request you to kindly grants us EOP extension so that we can complete the export obligation against this licence. and allowed EOP extension of Advance Authorization No. 5011000159 dated 04.06.2021 for a further period of 6 months from the date of endorsement, subject (Action: Applicant) Case No.33 M/s.

Applicant Statement: Currently, for first time we have applied for Advance Authorization wherein Black Tea (Foreign Origin) will be imported for manufacture of Blended Black Tea. By oversight, we have selected “No Norms/Self Declaration as per Para 4.07 of HBP” instead of “Prior Fixation of Adhoc Norms as per Para 4.06 of HBP” on DGFT Portal for application purpose. Further, we have been issued subject license by RLA Mumbai and basis which we have made the imports vide BOE No.5902228 dated 01.10.2024. As on date, post imports, it has come to our attention that BCD for Black Tea is 100% and the same contradicts the para oy

Subject: To allow Extension of EOP for delay in export of finished goods in term

of Para 6.06 (C) (ii) & (iii) of HBP. This is a defer case of PRC P.H. Meeting No.33AM24 held on 22.03.2024 (Case No.50) wherein Committee advised the representative of the firm to send copies of shipping bills against which balance material was exported. Thereafter report acl

YE would be called from DC’s Office. Applicant Statement: We, Greenleaf Extractions Pvt. Ltd, Cochin is a Registered EOU under the Jurisdiction of the Development Commissioner, Cochin Special Economic Zone. Our export products are Spices Oil and Oleoresins. We import required Spices like Black Pepper, Ginger, Nutmeg, Mace and White Pepper etc. As per Para 6.06 of HBP, certain specified products have a lesser Export Obligation period of 120 days / 12 months. We come across serious problems in complying with the reduced Export Obligation Period for the following main reasons: (a) Spices are Agro products and hence they are seasonal in nature. For all Spices there is a buying season and there is a selling season. Being in a very stiff and competitive international market it is imperative that we procure acceptable quality of raw Spices at the lowest price and also sell the finished goods at the highest price. (b) For Agro Products, the purchase price fluctuates very often and there is a period when the prices touch rock bottom. At this point in time we are required to procure the materials in bulk to avail the benefit of lower price on inputs.

ce fluctuates very often and there is a period when the prices touch rock bottom. At this point in time we are required to procure the materials in bulk to avail the benefit of lower price on inputs. (c) Similarly, at the time of export, we have to obtain the maximum price in the market and therefore we will be required to keep the finished goods / raw materials for a longer period till the market reaches a peak price. Thus, on many occasions, such exports overshoot the reduced Export Obligation Period. (e) Unlike in the case of Advance Authorization, purchases in EOU are not linked to Export Orders in hand, for reasons stated in the point (b) above. EOUs are permitted to have bulk purchases to derive the maximum benefit of cost reduction. This results in delay in processing of imported raw materials and consequent delay in the fulfillment of export within the reduced Obligation Period. 2. And further, in many cases, while the raw materials are processed and the goods ready for export, for many reasons, the buyers do not release despatch instructions although the Order is firm. We cannot dictate the buyer to issue dispatch instructions to suit our reduced Export Obligation period. 3.

r many reasons, the buyers do not release despatch instructions although the Order is firm. We cannot dictate the buyer to issue dispatch instructions to suit our reduced Export Obligation period. 3. As a result of the above points, it has not been possible for us to fulfill the export obligation in some cases as per Para 6.06 of the FTP but we have exported the same by late and hence we earnestly request the Hon'ble Committee to kindly consider our case sympathetically and take a lenient view in the matter by regularizing the delay in fulfillment of export obligation for goods imported under 4 Bills of Entry as per Statement enclosed. and allowed EOP extension for the purpose of regularization for additional days totalling to 101,119.72 and 76 for BoE Nos. 7307757,7631942,8339728 and 8339822 respectively.

Applicant Statement: The extension is sought due to unforeseen and unavoidable circumstances that have hindered our ability to fulfill the export obligations within the originally stipulated time frame. Indo Amines Limited, as India’s largest independent chemical manufacturing company, has been dedicated to the production of various fine chemicals, specialty chemicals, performance chemicals, perfumery chemicals, and active pharmaceutical ingredients. We have a strong global presence and have been contributing significantly to the nation's foreign exchange earnings through exports to over thirty-five countries. Our commitment to quality and excellence is reflected in our ISO 9001 certification and the numerous awards we have received for our export performance, manufacturing process, quality enhancement, productivity improvement, and customer satisfaction. The cancellation of export orders and the non-availability of containers, compounded by the challenges faced by the USA and European countries since September 2019, have led to a significant shortfall in both the quantity and value of imports and exports. We wish to highlight that the situation has now improved, and we have received confirmation from our buyers that they are willing to proceed with the balance quantity of the export items. Additionally, the required items for import are now available in the European market, which enables us to fulfill the remaining obligations.

With due respect, we kindly request an extension of the export obligation period for the Advanced Authorization numbered 0311014730 dated 17.05.2022. We are seeking an extension of 6 months from the date of endorsement to rectify the shortfall and ensure compliance with the obligations. This extension will allow us the necessary time to import the required materials and fulfill our commitments. It is with the utmost sincerity that we approach you to consider our request, given the extenuating circumstances that were beyond our control. We believe that an extension would not only benefit us in achieving our export targets but would also contribute positively to the overall trade relations. We truly appreciate your understanding and support in this matter. Your favourable consideration of our request would be highly valued and acknowledged by Indo Amines Limited. We are ready and committed to ensuring that the remaining obligations are met within the extended period.

Applicant Statement: We wish to state that our export product namely Diethylene Glycol Mono Ethyl Ether Acetate (EDGA) under the subject Advance Authorization has been exported nearly 61% (612 MT our of 1000 MT of Export obligation undertaken) in the validity period of 30 months from the date of issue. We wish to highlight the reasons justifying our inability to fulfill the Export obligation in full and request you to kindly consider our case for Export obligation extension as per the policy directive leniently. Reasons for non fulfillment of Export obligation are mandated as under: 1) The primary Export markets for EDGA being catered to is Korea, Taiwan and Far East and suppliers in China happens to be our main competitor. 2) Basic raw material ie Ethylene Oxide (EO) prices in China were low @USD800-850 and same was the case with Acetic Acid too which are 2 essential Input material for production of Export Product. 3) China has a duty advantage on EDGA exports under Bilateral Trade agreement as imports from China to Korea,Taiwan and Far East are Duty free thereby giving it unfair price advantage. 4) Chinese EDGA enjoys easy entry into Korea and Taiwan due to low prices and short transit time. 5) India Glycols prices of Ethylene Oxide (EO) are high due to high price of Bio Ethanol as against Chinese crude based EO.

easy entry into Korea and Taiwan due to low prices and short transit time. 5) India Glycols prices of Ethylene Oxide (EO) are high due to high price of Bio Ethanol as against Chinese crude based EO. 6) Also the off take in the markets ie Taiwan, Korea and Far east had dwindled substantially due to the impact of pandemic and other socio economical factors leading to substantial downfall in demand and Export orders at our end which is picking up slowly now as we are getting orders. India Glycols Ltd is now positioning its EDGA as a green product which is finding acceptability in markets where low carbon footprints and sustainability plays a major role in product differentiation. In the light of the above facts we envisage that volumes will gradually increase in these markets. and allowed EOP extension of Advance Authorization No. 0511012178 dated 02.05.2022 for a further period of 6 months from the date of endorsement, subject (Action: Applicant) ar
