Presentations Of the CII National Conference on Emerging Opportunities for the Capital Goods Industry 26th November 2012, Hotel Lalit, New Delhi.
The Indian capital goods sector, the core of the manufacturing sector, requires attention to technology, SME support, skill development, and import substitution to meet the targets of the National Manufacturing Policy. This article by Mr Chandrajit Banerjee, Director General, CII appeared in The Financial Express on 13 November 2012.
The business environment, global and Indian economic issues and the regulatory environment are undergoing considerable changes. CFOs, working closely with the CEOs, are the ones who need to understand the impact of these changes on the company. These issues need to be discussed in a forum of CFOs to understand their impact on the industrial front. These deliberations may result in formulating the additional competencies that need to be developed by an organisation. It may also result in developing strategies for a collective intervention with the appropriate authorities.
In its pre-Budget recommendations, CII has stressed that to revive growth momentum, new avenues must be devised to augment investment. Private investments need to be incentivised in critical areas of the economy. A reforms oriented budget is needed to instill confidence among investors.

First communication from the CII President to all members after assuming the office of CII, President.
The travails of the global economy appear to be still not behind us, despite gradual recovery during 2010 from the worst global
economic conditions since World War II. Continued fiscal and debt burdens vitiate the recovery process, imparting a degree of
fragility and uncertainty to global economic conditions. The world needs a new source of growth and stability, and India, a
rapidly growing economy with strong internal demand, offers a new opportunity.
India remained relatively untrammeled by the developments in the Eurozone and reverted to close to 9% GDP growth rates in
2010. Growth was broad-based across all sectors, including agriculture, manufacturing and services. Public commitment to
calibrated exit from expansionary fiscal policy and continued corporate and household confidence have helped sustain a
virtuous growth cycle. The resurgence of the rural economy and intensified infrastructure mission further strengthened the
foundations for medium-term growth propensities.
