Meeting No.02AM26 heldon 16.04.2025

Subject: Extension of EOP against Advance Authorization No. 1011001660 dated 24/03/2023.

Applicant Statement: We have obtained Advance Authorization No.1011001660 dt.24.03.2023 from JDGFT, Cochin Ours is an MSME unit and having AEO status. We have imported Xanthan Gum (HS Code : 39139090) from China against Advance Authorization referred to above. The total quantity of 36 MT of Xanthan Gum was imported against the said Licence during the year 2023-24. The Export Obligation period originally fixed was 24th of Sep 2024 and the same was further extended to 24th Mar 2025 by JDGFT. Whereas we could export a total quantity of 23.97 MT only as against the Export Obligation of 35 MT on completion of the extended time. The following are the basic reasons for the non-fulfilment of the Export Obligation. 1. The finished product made of Xanthan Gum Commercial Grade was a new product in the international market and the sales process/demand from the overseas buyers was very slow. 2. Each sale has been taking lot of time as the customer takes purchase decisions only after completing a long Laboratory test processes. 3. Our main export was to a Customer in USA and later on USA has imposed Anti-Dumping duty for export of the subject product if the raw materials are sourced from China. This leads to discontinuance and cancellation of purchase by the US customers. 4. Therefore, we had to take further ‘

t of the subject product if the raw materials are sourced from China. This leads to discontinuance and cancellation of purchase by the US customers. 4. Therefore, we had to take further ‘

Bue

steps to find out Customers from other countries to sell the product. We have participated in Trade Fairs all over the world and could generate new enquiries and able to start selling the product. 5. As a trial order we have received an order for 4 MT from Russia. Once we supply the material they will issue further order on standard delivery basis. Many enquiries have been received from overseas buyers and a few are in final stage of orders. In view of the above factual position and the genuine hardship being faced by us, we would request the Committee to grant Export Obligation period extension for a further period of 1 year.

Decision: The Committee examined the submission made by the applicant and discussed the matter at length. After detailed discussion it was decided to accede to the request and allowed EOP extension of Advance Authorization No. 1011001660 dated 24.03.2023 for a further period of 6 months from the date of endorsement subject to payment of composition fees as per policy provisions. The firm shall approach RA concerned within 30 days from the date of uploading of the minutes of meeting.

Subject: Submissions in support of application to Policy Relaxation Committee for relaxation: To import of One Right Hand Drive (RHD) Used Mercedes-Benz Vehicle for pur-pose of conducting testing on the Vehicles imported for R & D testing purposes only. For import via air at Chennai Airport or sea at Chennai Seaport.

Applicant Statement: We are enclosing our Detailed Presentation with Reason/ Justifications We would like to provide a brief explanation for our request for this relaxation. At the moment, only Roll-on Roll-off (Ro-Ro) ships dock in Mumbai Seaport and Ro-Ro Vessel companies do not accept used vehicle transportation from Germany to Mumbai Seaport. So, it has become difficult for us to import the used vehicle quickly and to complete the project that our customers expect from us. It also leads to revenue losses at the company and country levels. We are looking for an alternative way to import via other seaports through closed containers or airports for the reasons stated above and to achieve faster shipment timelines. This will help us in importing the vehicles as quickly as the business expects.

Our request: With reference to the above, we would like to inform you that we have been issued the aforesaid EPCG authorization from Additional DGFT, Mumbai. The said license was valid till 02.07.2021. We imported the capital goods under EPCG considering very good export market. We failed to fulfill our export obligation because of two very specifics reasons:- 1. Due to Covid19, all the markets were hampered, we lost more than 3 years i.e. from march 2020 to December 2022. All our manufacturing efforts came to halt because of exodus of labour to their native places.

Covid19, all the markets were hampered, we lost more than 3 years i.e. from march 2020 to December 2022. All our manufacturing efforts came to halt because of exodus of labour to their native places. We could garner the migrant labourers exactly in January 2022 and started again. It is not, that we did not manufacture in these two years. But these were only for local market and not for export market because expert labourers were not there. 2. 2nd reasons is the issuance of Policy Circular no. 22/29.03.2019 due to which our 3rd party exports could not take off. Because of the above two reasons, we request you to grant us a minimum of 1 YEAR from the date of endorsement to fulfill our export obligation. During the closure of two years the machines became rusted and had to be refurbished which also took quite some time. Even the addition of PN No. 53 the validity is such that we will not able to produce and ship the goods. We need at least 1 YEAR from the date of endorsement of EOP extension.

Decision: The Committee examined the submission made by the applicant and discussed the matter at length. After detailed discussion it was decided to accede to the request and allowed EOP extension of EPCG Authorization No. 0330042029 dated 02.07.2015 for a further period of 1 year from the date of endorsement subject to payment of composition fees as per policy provisions.

Subject: Request For Waiver Of Annual Average Export Obligation against EPCG Authorization No. 5231006802 dated 19/12/2023, 5231007202 dated 30/01/2024, 5231009702 dated 06/09/2024, 5231011120 dated 17/12/2024.

Applicant Statement: We are a Surat (Gujarat) based manufacturer-exporter of Polyester Chips (HS CODE: 39076990). Our Exports were very good during the period of 2020-21, 2021-22, 2022-23 with export turnover of Rs.120.32Cr., 181.15Cr & 64.30Cr respectively. As part of plant expansion in 2023 & 2024, we had obtained EPCG licenses for import of capital goods. When the above EPCG authorizations were taken, an average export obligation of Rs.96.38Cr. for first two licences and Rs.73.46Cr for second two licenses were imposed every year based on the exports of the last previous 3 years. But after that the export has decreased significantly and now there is a situation where the average export cannot be

maintained. The reason for the decrease in exports is that Polyester chips are available globally from foreign countries like China at a much lower price than India. In order to maintain the average export, we tried to export cost to cost price without expecting profit, but couldn't provide a lower rate than the China rate to the customer. This crisis is not only to us but also as it has affected all the exporters in India and it can be seen that the export level of polyester chips has reduced significantly compared to previous years. So due to this adverse situation, we are not able to meet average export target. But we can fulfil the specific exports by export of textile fabrics which is smoothly going-on with yearly turnover of Rs.30Cr approx. Considering the factual situation, we request to consider our case sympathetically and kindly condone the average export obligation imposed under all subject EPCG authorizations. Thanking you in anticipation of your favourable order in this regard. Please note that we need personal hearing to explain our case. so kindly grant us any date suitable for the committee.

Applicant Statement: M/s Ashley Alteams Ltd, have our manufacturing unit at Cheyar, Thiruvannamalai District, Tamil Nadu and Head Office / Registered Office at No 1 Sardar Patel Road, Guindy, Chennai 600032. We are a Joint venture company with 50: 50 equity participation between Ashok Leyland Ltd, India and Alteams OY, Finland. We are manufacturers of Electronic components for Telecom Industry - like Aluminium cover for Telecom Reception Apparatus and also parts and accessories ( like Aluminium parts ) for Heavy Motor Vehicles. So we supply our products both to the telecom and auto industry. Our major customers are (1) Nokia a SEZ unit in Tamil Nadu and (2) Ashok Leyland Ltd one of the major commercial vehicles manufacturers in the country. While Nokia being a SEZ Unit - all the supplies to them are used in the manufacture of products which are predominantly for exports by them, supplies to Ashok Leyland too are used in the vehicles exported besides domestic supplies. As supplies to SEZ are considered as exports, we claimed the EPCG benefits for import of Capital goods for manufacturing our products.

too are used in the vehicles exported besides domestic supplies. As supplies to SEZ are considered as exports, we claimed the EPCG benefits for import of Capital goods for manufacturing our products. In this process, we had obtained two EPCG Authorizations (1) Authorization No 0430018050 dt 31.01.2019 (File no 04/36/021/00624/AM19) for import of Die Spraying Machine and IPR 3300 Base machine and (2) Authorization No 0430018434 dt 01.08.2019 (File no 04/36/21/00236/AM20) for import of Krown Melting Shaft Furnace machine. We submit that the duty saved value for Authorization No 0430018050 dt 30.01.2019 is Rs 433.65 lakhs and the duty saved value for Authorization No 0430018434 dt 01.08.2019 is Rs 67.25 lakhs. The Annual average export obligation to be maintained against each of the above Authorizations is Rs 68.05 lakhs for the first one and Rs 60.78 lakhs for the second one. We submit that while the specific export obligation fixed against Authorization No 0430018050 dt 30.01.2019 is Rs 2601.90 lakhs , the specific export obligation against Authorization No 043001843 dt 01.08.2019 is Rs 403.50 lakhs ( ie 6 times the duty saved ). While 50% of obligation is to be fulfilled within 4 years from the date of the licence (first block) - Which is 29.01.2023 for Authorization No 0430018050 dt 30.01.2019 and 31.07.2023 for Authorization No 043001843 dt 01.08.2019 and the remaining 50% before 29.01.2025 and 31.07.2025 respectively.

k) - Which is 29.01.2023 for Authorization No 0430018050 dt 30.01.2019 and 31.07.2023 for Authorization No 043001843 dt 01.08.2019 and the remaining 50% before 29.01.2025 and 31.07.2025 respectively. We have fulfilled the specific export obligation in full (100%) against both the licences totalling to Rs 3605.60 lakh until now - which is well within the prescribed time limit of January 2025/July 2025. But we are stuck with maintaining the annual average export obligation against both the licences which is in the order of Rs 6805 lakhs for Authorization No 0430018050 dt 30.01.2019 and Rs 6079 lakhs for Authorization No 043001843 dt 01.08.2019. In other words, we could not maintain or fulfil export obligation to the tune of around Rs 6800 lakhs ( appx) against both the licences towards annual average, whereas we had fulfilled the specific obligation in full well before 2022 itself We now state the reason for our inability to maintain the annual average obligation fixed: We submit that both the Authorizations were obtained based on business expectations. As stated earlier, we have been supplying to M/s Nokia,

Tamil Nadu (a SEZ unit). Hence while applying for both the EPCG Authorizations we had taken the supplies to Nokia in the past (three year average) for maintenance of annual average obligation. We submit that the supplies to M/s Ashok Leyland were local supplies and hence could not be considered for annual average (though the components supplied are used in the export product manufactured by them). We state that the capital goods imported are capable of manufacturing component parts and accessories to be supplied to M/s Nokia and M/s Ashok Leyland for telecom and automotive applications. Unfortunately M/s Nokia have closed their operations in Tamil Nadu, India due to taxation issues and severe labour unrest Decision: The Committee went through the statements made by the firm and discussed the matter at length and observed that the applicant has not submitted any cogent reason/ justification in support of any genuine hardship faced by them. Accordingly, the Committee decided to reject the request.

Case No. 28 M/s. Sterlite Power Transmission Limited

F.No. HARPRCAPPLY00013433AM25

Meeting No. 02AM26 held on 16.04.2025

Subject: To Allow Imports Beyond 30 Months For Clubbing against Advance Authorization No. 0310818549 dated 16/01/2018, 0310819587 dated 07/03/2018, 0310822348 dated 17/07/2018, 0310822611 dated 26/07/2018, 0310830803 dated 05/08/2019, 0310818561 dated 17/01/2018.

This is a review case of PRC Meeting No.25AM25 held on 19.02.2025 (Case No.12) wherein Committee rejects the case.

Applicant Statement: For seeking inclusion of imports beyond 30 months for clubbing we Sterlite Power Transmission limited are filing the present review application for seeking inclusion of certain imports made beyond 30 months. For the purposes of clubbing of six advance authorizations (AA). We respectfully submit that our case is founded on genuine and compelling justifications, arising from the impact of the same natural calamity i.e. floods that disrupted operations at the company's factory, which was previously acknowledged and appreciated by the pre while extending the time-limit for permitting subject imports made beyond 30 months. The justifications set out in the application are summarized hereunder: subject imports beyond 30 months were made pursuant to extension of prc itself the imports beyond 30 months were approved in PRC meeting no. 10/am21 on 10.09.2020, extending import validity period of both aa (no. 310818549 and 310818561) due to factory shutdown caused by severe floods.

rts beyond 30 months were approved in PRC meeting no. 10/am21 on 10.09.2020, extending import validity period of both aa (no. 310818549 and 310818561) due to factory shutdown caused by severe floods. Advance Authorizations are deemed to be one Authorization upon clubbing and hence there is no question of additional benefit Authorizations are deemed to be one Authorization upon clubbing the foreign trade policy allows clubbing of Authorizations to consolidate imports of common inputs and exports of similar products for redemption. As per para 4.36(xii) of the handbook of procedures, after clubbing, all Authorizations are treated as one. An Authorization (which is deemed one Authorization upon clubbing) is eligible for grant of redemption upon clubbing, the six aa should be treated as a single Authorization, including those with imports beyond 30 months. Since PRC previously granted an extension for these imports, the revalidation should remain applicable post-clubbing, making the clubbed Authorization eligible for redemption. Clubbing is merely a facility for redemption- it is not a benefit as per para 4.36(iii) of the handbook of procedures, clubbing is only

igible for redemption. Clubbing is merely a facility for redemption- it is not a benefit as per para 4.36(iii) of the handbook of procedures, clubbing is only

for redemption, with no further imports or exports allowed. It does not provide any — additional benefits but facilitates closure by balancing excess imports/exports, ensuring exporters are not unfairly penalized once the export obligation is fulfilled. Purpose of granting earlier revalidation would be defeated if clubbing is denied for imports made beyond 30 months the application seeks relaxation to include 2338 mt and 4679 mt imports, made beyond 30 months under prc?s earlier extension, while clubbing and redeeming six aa. Denying this request would nullify the relief granted by prc for extending the import validly for the above mentioned Authorizations. If imports beyond 30 months not considered for clubbing it would infect cause us more hardship rather than any benefit the prc previously acknowledged the company's hardship due to floods and granted an extension for imports beyond 30 months. Disallowing the clubbing of these aa now would place the company in double jeopardy instead of providing relief. Hon?ble pre has granted similar relief in the past it is noteworthy that prc has precedents of granting similar relief to other entities, and the rationale adopted therein are squarely applicable to company's circumstances.

supplied. In this License, we could export only 42 MT, as in 2019 suddenly EU has imposed suspension of Ranitidine imports as well as manufacturing of Ranitidine with immediate effect on September 2019 (just after 6 months of taking AA). Our European customer has sold off the company as this was major product for them. We could not fulfil export of this item as it is intermediate and there is no buyer for the same. We request you to allow us: (i) Export of Ranitidine API instead of Cystofer Base (intermediate of Ranitidine) to fulfil balance export obligation. We will account raw material as per SION. (ii) We also need 6 months time to fulfil export obligation as we had only had just six months time previously to export before EU has banned import of Ranitidine. Therefore EO extension may be granted for 6 months from date of endorsement. Kindly allow us to fulfill the Export Obligation at the earliest.

The duty-free import of billets, as permitted under these norms, is crucial for us to offer competitive pricing to our US buyers. The last date for reinstatement as per the Public Notice was 15th March 2024. In light of this, we kindly seek your relaxation and request you to condone the delay, allowing for the reinstatement of the norms. Additionally, we request the inclusion of the term ?beams? in the export product description, as the existing items bars/rods fall within the same category of structures and sections.

We have also submitted an application to the Norms Committee under Appendix 4E for the modification of norms in C676. Therefore, we request your kind consideration to condone the delay and instruct the Norms Committee to reinstate SION C676 with the necessary modifications.
