uthorizations issued in 2008-09 amounting to duty saved value of Rs.114.76 crores as per provisions of Clubbing. The clubbed authorisations were issued in the same year and for the same project.

The firm has now requested for an EOP for 12 years for the clubbed authorisations [given that the duty

saved amount exceeds 100 Cr and Para 5.1 of FTP(RE 2007 and 2008) states that in respect of EPCG authorisations with duty saved amount of Rs 100 Cr or more the EOP shall be 12 years]. However, Para 5.18.3 of HBP Vol I 2009-14 provides that in cases where clubbing has been allowed and the duty saved value exceeds Rs. 100 Crore, no corresponding benefit of increase in EO period shall be admissible.

The Committee noted that it was also decided to seek the comments of DoR, DIPP and Ministry of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises on request of the party for procedural relaxation of export obligation period from 8 years to 12 years for clubbed licenses. They have further stated that the Company will be making additional investment of about Rs. 1500 Cr. if their request is considered favourably otherwise this investment is likely to be diverted to some other country.

The Committee observed that the Department of Heavy Industries has furnished their comments stating that the request of M/s Fiat India Automobiles Ltd for re-fixation of EOP to 12 years for clubbed licenses has been examined. It is observed that the request is purely procedural and they support the request.

It is a consumable item and is used on one time basis i.e. once used for melting of glass, it cannot be reused.”

The Committee, therefore, decided not to allow import of saggar ceramic port for glass melting under EPCG Scheme.
