The case was placed before the Committee in the EPCG Committee Meeting held on 29.09.2011 whrein it was decided to defer the case for further examination as reduction in specific and average EO is proposed to be linked with import of PTA which is not covered under the existing provisions of the FTP/HBP Vol. I with the advice to the firm to avail Personal Hearing in the next meeting if they so desire. Shri Debi Prasad Patra, IAS (Retd.), Executive Chairman and other
11. 0230002701 Dated 17.10.2007 Chairman and other officials appeared before the Committee and explained that their firm is a subsidiary of Mistsubishi Chemical Corporation (MCC) Japan, and has set up two large units of production of Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) at Haldia in West Bengal. The Phase I at a cost of Rs. 1500 Crore was set up between 19972000. The initial capacity of this unit was 3.5 lakh Ton per annum, that was enhanced to 4.7 lakh Tons by 200304. Phase II Mega Expansion Project was launched in 2006 and was completed by March 2010. At a cost of a further RS. 1,900 Crore the new
was enhanced to 4.7 lakh Tons by 200304. Phase II Mega Expansion Project was launched in 2006 and was completed by March 2010. At a cost of a further RS. 1,900 Crore the new line of production with 8 lakh ton per annum capacity has since begun commercial production. He further elaborated that it was for this Mega Expansion Project only that MCPI decided to take advantage of the EPCG Scheme. Accordingly, it availed of 11 EPCG authorizations in 2006 and 2007. The total duty saved was Rs. 175.50 Crore of which Basic Customs Duty was only 31.45 Crore. However, the total export obligation imposed upon MCPI was a staggering Rs. 6276 Crore (Specific Export Obligation and Average Export Obligation for 8 years). Thus, the export obligation became 35.76 times of the duty saved. He further explained that PTA market has suffered a setback since 2008 ‘Global Economic Meltdown’; India has since become a ‘Net Importer’ of PTA. Correspondingly, h b

Exports have become unviable; Domestic demand for PTA is higher than the total capacity of production in the country; This situation is likely to continue in the coming years; MCPI has suffered last 2 years on account of undue delay in stabilization of the new line of production due to unforeseen technical snags; due to rising crude price the margins in PTA business globally have shrunk; thus, PTA producers of India will increasingly find it more difficult to match the prevailing prices in export destinations in the coming years. The Committee observed that the firm have sought three reliefs. Out of these, two reliefs are regarding issuance of necessary clarification on the interpretation of provisions of Para 5.7.4 of HBP and reduction of export obligation on account of fall of exports under Para 5.11.2 of HBP. The Committee informed the representative that a decision about interpretation of provisions of Para 5.7.4 has recently been taken by PIC in its meeting held on 09.09.2011 which will serve the purpose. It was also informed that DGFT has already issued Policy Circulars regarding the implementation of Para 5.11.2 in 2008, 2009 and 2010 and would again issue the same in the year 2011 also. The third request of the firm is about substantial
y Circulars regarding the implementation of Para 5.11.2 in 2008, 2009 and 2010 and would again issue the same in the year 2011 also. The third request of the firm is about substantial reduction of remaining Export Obligation owing to ‘hardship’ under Para 2.5 of FTP on grounds of adverse market conditions and delay in technological stability of
technological stability of the new Plant. The ground given by the firm for this was that the ‘Mega Expansion Project’ could be treated as ‘New Plant’. While, PhaseI was Rs. 1500 Crore for 3.5 lakh Ton per annum capacity, the New Plant is Rs. 1900 Crore fo 8 lakh Ton per annum capacity. This dispensation would automatically lead to deduction of the entire AEO resulting in substantial relief. MCPI does maintain separate records of ‘input’ costs for the two plants, as such it would be in a position to segregate the amount of Exports to be committed by the new plant. The Committee deliberated upon this request of the firm in detail and decided to recommend to DG (i) to waive AEP in this case on the grounds of substantial expansion in terms of capital as well capacity (ii) exports of PTA from country are negligible in comparison to imports (iii) Para 5.11.2 of HBP is not solving their problem because of typical nature of product where there are only few players and even in small value exports there are fluctuations. DG has approved the case. 7 M/s Asian Heart Institute and Research Centre Pvt. Ltd
