Micro irrigation can help increasing productivity by 30 to 100%,Can help saving water up to 50-70-%says FICCI-TSMG Report


NEW DELHI, 13 May 2016: Right usage of water is becoming increasingly important given the fact that India currently supports nearly 17.84% of the world population, with 2.4% land and 4% of water resources. At the same time, monsoons are also becoming erratic. The resultant is alarming fall in ground water levels placing at risk, the national food security mission. Plasticulture - the use of plastics in agriculture, horticulture, water-management, food grains storage and related areas, provides an answer to this challenge. It can play an important role in facilitating judicious usage of water. It is estimated that appropriate applications of micro-irrigation technologies can result in water saving up to 50-70-%.
There is therefore a need to encourage the Plasticulture sector to enable it to realize its potential and contribute to the national economy. Application of micro irrigation can help in increasing productivity by 30 to 100 per cent with significant saving of water. Fertilizer use efficiency is also enhanced.
According to a FICCI -Tata Strategic Management Group (TSMG) report on the potential of plasticultre in India, India is at a crucial juncture when it needs to tackle the issue of food security by optimizing the use of resources, which traditionally has been taken for granted. Plasticulture is a viable solution for India, to launch 2nd Green revolution. The paucity of water, lower productivity and inefficient use of fertilizer leading to higher carbon footprint can all be taken care by efficient use of Plasticulture.
On the demand side, awareness about the possible benefits and subsidies available could help in the adoption of technology.
On the supply side, effort needs to go in creating the awareness through demonstration, build credibility by post-installation management, technology advancement to bring down the capital cost and develop viable bio-degradable alternatives thereby improving the productivity while reducing the carbon footprint.
The report notes that the Government needs to create an environment by promoting the Plasticulture by easy and efficient sanction of subsidies and promoting investments by allocating a share of agriculture budget to R&D. It is important to leverage the knowledge bank, which exists in the Indian institutes and tacit understanding of extension services today, to develop tailored solutions as per the local conditions and while also incorporate learning from other economies. The concentrated effort would ensure that the growth rate remains sustainable in following years, as the current penetration level are quite low. With a systematic industry approach supported by policies and government, a second Green Revolution could be triggered.

Manufacturing Sector to Slowdown in Q-1: FICCI Survey Marginal Reduction in Interest Rates Not Enough to Prop up Investments: FICCI Survey


New Delhi, 13 May 2016: FICCI’s latest Quarterly Survey on Manufacturing indicates slowdown in manufacturing sector’s growth for the Quarter 1 (April-June 2016-17). The survey had earlier indicated revival in the manufacturing activity in Q-4 of 2015-16, which seems to be slowing down in Q-1 now. The percentage of respondents expecting higher growth in Q-1 2016-17 has gone down to 53% as compared to 60% for Q-4 (Jan-March 2015-16). The percentage was 55% for Q-3 2015-16.

FICCI’s latest quarterly survey gauges the expectations of manufacturers for Q-1 (April-June 2016-17) for thirteen major sectors namely textiles, capital goods, metals, chemicals, cement and ceramics, electronics, auto, leather & footwear, machine tools, food, tyre, paper and textiles machinery. Responses have been drawn from 308 manufacturing units from both large and SME segments with a combined annual turnover of over ₹4 lac crore.

The outlook on the basis of FICCI Manufacturing Survey for Q-4 of 2015-16 was more optimistic than in the current quarter. While the bleak export outlook is responsible for this less optimistic outlook for manufacturing production in first quarter of the current financial year but there have been several other factors that have contributed to this bleak outlook like poor demand conditions, unstable roadmap for various sectors leading to uncertainty, high interest cost etc.
In terms of order books, only 38% respondents have reported higher order books for the quarter April – June 2016-17 which is less than that of previous quarter (44%).

Capacity Addition & Utilization
In terms of investment, for Q-1 2016-17, 75% respondents as against 68% respondents in previous quarter reported that they don’t have any plans for capacity additions for the next six months implying slack in the private sector investments in manufacturing to continue. Here again, uncertainty in the policies, poor demand conditions, high cost of borrowing, delayed clearances and cost escalation are some of the major constraints which are affecting the expansion plans of the respondents.
The current average capacity utilization as reported in the survey for the total manufacturing sector is around 74% for Q-4 which is less than the capacity utilization indicated in the earlier survey i.e. Q-4 2014-15 when it was around 77%.

However, in some sectors, average capacity utilization has improved while in others it has almost remained same in Q-4 of 2015-16 as was in Q-4 of 2014-15. Capacity utilization has improved in cement, food, capital goods and electronics sector. On the other hand, in sectors like Chemicals, textiles machinery and tyres capacity utilisation has remained same.

Inventories
Inventory levels remain high with 76% respondents carrying either more or same levels of inventory as their average inventory levels as per the survey. However, this is lower than previous quarter, where 88% respondents reportedly carried either same or more than their average levels of inventory.

Exports
Export outlook for manufacturing continues to have the downward trajectory in Q-1 2016-17 with the proportion of respondents expecting higher exports in the quarter further falling. The proportion of respondents expecting higher exports in Q-1 2016-17 is 36% which is much lower than 41% in Q-4 2015-16.

Hiring
Hiring outlook seems bleak in manufacturing in coming months as over 80% respondents in Q-1 2016-17 as compared to around 76% in Q-4 2015-16, are not likely to hire additional workforce in next three months.

Interest Rate
Interest rate paid by the manufacturers seems to have moderated in the last few months, however it remains still high. The rate ranges from 6% to 15% as per the survey with average interest rate at around 11.4% per annum as compared to 11.8% average reported in the previous survey.

Sectoral Growth
Based on expectations in different sectors, the Survey pointed out that ten out of thirteen sectors were likely to witness low to moderate growth (less than 10%). Three sectors namely, capital goods, electronics & electricals and auto are likely to witness strong growth of over 10% in Q-3 2015-16.

Agriculture output can be increased by ~INR 68,000 Cr by using Plasticulture applications – FICCI-TSMG report

NEW DELHI, 13 May 2016: A  National Conference on potential of Plasticulture in India on the theme “Role of Plasticulture in Next generation Agriculture” was inaugurated by Shri Hukmdev Narayan Yadav, Chairman, Parliamentary Standing Committee on Agriculture & Farmers Welfare here today. He also released Knowledge and Strategy Paper prepared by FICCI and Tata Strategic Management Group (TSMG), a leading & largest Indian owned management consulting firm.
The report “Unleashing the potential of Plasticulture – Need of the hour” highlights the importance of adopting various Plasticulture methods and how it will play a critical role in order to bring further prosperity to the Indian agricultural sector. TSMG estimated that the agriculture output can be increased by ~INR 68,000 Cr by using Plasticulture applications in all pre and post-harvest requirements.
The Conference was jointly organized by FICCI and Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals, Government of India, Department of Agriculture Cooperation & Farmers Welfare, Govt. of India, National Committee on Plasticulture Applications in Horticulture of Ministry of Agriculture, Govt. of India. TSMG is the  Knowledge & Strategy Partner of this conference.
Hukmdev Narayan Yadav, Chairman, Parliamentary Standing Committee on Agriculture & Farmers Welfare in his inaugural address, discussed the potential of plastics in agriculture and business opportunities present in the sector.  He highlighted the benefits of Plasticulture in farming methods and post harvesting techniques and truly believes that Indian plastics industry should promote sustainable development by investing in technologies that protects environment and stimulates growth while balancing economic needs and financial constraints.Sanjeev Chopra, Additional Chief Secretary & Principal Secretary - Agriculture, Government of West Bengal referred to applications of plastics in agriculture and has the potential to transform Indian agriculture to bring in the "Second Green Revolution" if tapped to its maximum potential.

Avinash Joshi, Joint Secretary (Petrochemicals), Department of  Chemicals & Petrochemicals, Government of India while detailing the positive role being played by the Indian plastics industry, as also various steps being taken by the Govt. to facilitate the growth of the sector, advised for focus to sustainable growth. The   industry would need to set targets for bringing in   efficient technologies  and for this the industry must invest more in R&D.  
Shakil P. Ahmed, Joint Secretary, Department of Agriculture, Cooperation & Farmers Welfare, Government of India in his address focused on the significant progress in the adoption of Plasticulture techniques in the last decade.  He also discussed about the  greater use of plastic in agriculture can also help to a great extent to achieve up to fifty percent of the intended targets in Agriculture.Krish Iyengar, Executive Director, National Committee on Plasticulture Applications in Agriculture &  Horticulture (NCPAH) also pointed to the  huge unrealized potential of further growth of plastic industry , as indicated by the present very low per capita consumption level in the country.  Sujoy Choudhury , General Manager ( Petrochemicals )  Marketing , IOCL discussed about how  the   plasticulture  is  going   to   play  a  dominant  role  in  horticulture development of the  country.  This is of special significance in view of the decision of Government of India to double the horticulture production in the country in the next five years. Hence the  role of plasticulture applications - micro irrigation,  and  mulching on one  hand and  protected cover  cultivation  on  the  other is going  to  be very critical in the  coming years.
 Manish Panchal, Senior Practice Head - Chemical & Energy, Tata Strategic Management Group, said, “The increasing population is raising concerns on the food security in India thereby putting a pressure on the agricultural sector to increase the production levels with limited resources by improving efficiencies and reducing wastages. Government should make the micro irrigation mandatory for all those crops which are water guzzling crops”

 Vinay Mathur, Deputy Secretary General, FICCI   pointed out the dwindling quality and the availability of water resources and importance of adopting Plasticulture for ensuring sustainability of the agricultural practice. He added that the Report on “Unleashing the potential of Plasticulture – Need of the hour”, jointly undertaken by FICCI and TSMG highlights  the approach required by the key stakeholders including the government and the regulatory bodies to be able to harness the plastics opportunities  in agriculture and provide a much needed thrust to a second green revolution Representatives from the Government of India (Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals and Department of Agriculture & Cooperation), the State Government, private industry players along with large number of farmers who are important beneficiaries of plasticulture, were present in this conference

AAP MLAs running extortion rackets, LG should order high level inquiry so that culprits could be punished

 Leader of Opposition in the Delhi Vidhan Sabha, Sh. Vijender Gupta today alleged that many Aam Aadami Party (AAP) MLAs are running extortion rackets.  They are forcing shopkeepers, industrialists, wholesalers etc. falling within their respective Constituency to give weekly payoffs to avoid harassment.   AAP Government is creating character of weekly extortion in Delhi.  It has created fear psychosis amongst traders.  He urged Lt. Governor to order a high level inquiry into the developing practice of extortion.  If it is not nipped in bud, it will have serious repercussions on Delhi’s trade and business culture.
  Gupta was addressing a Press Conference at BJP Headquarter at Pant Marg where BJP MLAs Sh. Om Prakash Sharma and Sh. Jagdish Pradhan were also present. He told that the double character of AAP MLAs has been exposed before the public.  He gave an instance of Adarsh Nagar Constituency.  The ration shop owners alleged that the area MLA has been demanded Rs. 20,000/- per month from them.  His henchmen are threatening the shopkeepers that their license will be confiscated and shop closed.
 The Adarsh Nagar Constituency comprises 33 ration shops.  As many as 30 shopkeepers got rid of the extortion by giving a cheque of Rs. 3100/- per head.  The payment can be verified from the concerned bank.  The shopkeepers which did not concede to extortion were threatened by Food & Civil Supplies officials with notices for not opening the shop in time, not writing information on notice board, not distributing ration to all eligible ration-card holders, not giving cash memo etc.  The idea is to cow them down into submission.

 The traders of Bhajan Pura Tanki Road market have complained to him that AAP MLA is pressurizing them for giving huge donation every month.  The shopkeepers who are not willing to oblige, are being threatened with consequences.The extortion racket is flourishing in Azad Pur Fruit & Vegetable Wholesale Market (Mandi).  It has resulted in fear amongst the shopkeepers.  A complaint has already been lodged with Lt. Governor. It may be recalled that police is already investigating the matter of Kondli Vidhan Sabha where the PA of MLA Manoj Kumar was involved in extortion. Gupta urged the shopkeepers, industrialists and general public not to fear from AAP MLAs and workers.  They should lodge complaint either with police or with BJP leaders so that culprits brought to book and Delhi does not develop of character of extortion.
