Fall in Tobacco Price
Fall in Tobacco Price
The Government has taken note of fall in price of unmanufactured FCV tobacco, particularly in Andhra Pradesh. As per the auction status in the state of Andhra Pradesh by 24/07/2015, a quantity of 76.48 million kg was marketed and the average price realized was Rs.106.28 per kg as against Rs. 119.57 per kg during the corresponding period of last year. The decline in price is Rs.13.29 per kg. i.e. 11%.
Surplus global production including in India, subdued demand of FCV tobacco in the domestic & international markets, release of good volumes of cheap tobacco into market by China, greater turnout of low and medium variety of Indian crop due to bad weather etc. are major causes for fall in price.
Price realisation to growers is a factor of market dynamics and international events including demand and supply. However, any fall in prices is likely to adversely impact the growers. The Ministry has adopted multi-pronged strategy to address the issue:-
i) The Ministry of Commerce & Industry has taken up with the Ministry of External Affairs requesting them to issue necessary instructions to certain Indian Embassies abroad to explore opportunities to export tobacco to those countries.
ii) The Tobacco Board / Government has conducted a series of meetings with all concerned stakeholders resulting in some buoyancy in price realisations & quantities marketed in auction platforms lately.
iii) Tobacco Board has led trade delegation to Egypt and China to promote export of tobacco from India.
iv) Based upon RBI’s circular dated 03.07.2015, a clarification has been issued to Tobacco Board to allow foreign buyers to participate in the auction process on cash & carry and retail basis in terms of the said circular.

The National Design Policy was approved by the Government on 8th February, 2007. The details of the Policy, inter alia, include:
i. Promotion of Indian design through a well-defined and managed regulatory, promotional and institutional framework;
ii. Setting up of specialized Design Centres or “Innovation Hubs” for sectors such as automobile and transportation, jewellery, leather, soft goods, digital products, toys & games which will provide common facilities and enabling tools like rapid product development, high performance visualization, etc. along with enterprise incubation as well as financial support through mechanisms like venture funding, loans and market development assistance for start-up design-led ventures and young designers’ design firms/houses;
iii. Formulation of a scheme for setting up Design Centres / Innovation Hubs in select locations/Industrial clusters/ backward states, particularly in the North East;
iv. Laying special focus on up-gradation of existing design institutes and faculty resources to international standards, particularly the National Institute of Design (NID) and its new campuses/ centres with a view to spreading quality education in designs to all regions of India, four more National Institutes of Design on the pattern of NID will be set up in different regions of the country during the 11th Five Year Plan.
v. Initiation of action to seek “Deemed University” or “University” under section 3(f) of the University Grants Commission Act, status for the NIDs, so that they can award degrees of B. Des. and M. Des. instead of just Diplomas as at present;
vi. Encouraging the establishment of departments of design in all the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and all the National Institutes of Technology (NITs) as well as in prestigious private sector Colleges of Engineering and Architecture;
vii. Preparation of a mechanism for recognizing and awarding industry achievers in creating a brand image for Indian designs though the award of a India Design Mark on designs which satisfy key design criteria like originality, innovation, aesthetic appeal, user-centricity, ergonomic features, safety and Eco-friendliness;
viii. Facilitating the establishment of a Chartered Society for Designers (on the lines of the Institutions of Engineers, the Institution of Architects, the Medical Council, the Bar Council, etc.), to govern the registration of Design Professionals and the various matters relating to standards setting in the profession;
ix. Setting up an India Design Council (IDC) with eminent personalities drawn from different walks of life.
In order to draw up a Detailed Action Plan in pursuance of the National Design policy a Committee was constituted with representatives of various Ministries and Departments with Director, NID, Ahmedabad as Member Secretary on 6th March 2007. The final recommendations of the Committee are as under:
i) Constitution of the Design Council of India
ii) Form a Chartered Society of Designers.
iii) Form a Working Group for new Institutes of Design and strengthening of Design Education in Existing Institutions.
iv) To conduct Design Awareness Programmes
The Design Clinic Scheme project being implemented by NID across the country is intended to improve the manufacturing competency of the MSMEs through design intervention to their products and services and to provide them design edge in the global market and hence supports the MAKE IN INDIA programme of the Government of India.

However,
no targets are fixed in terms of IIP for manufacturing, capital goods and
consumer durables. The growth rate of IIP is recorded at 1.1 % in 2012-13
and -0.1 % in 2013-14. However, thereafter, the growth of IIP has increased to
2.8 % in 2014-15 and 3.0 % during current financial year (April-May, 2015-16).
As per new series of National Accounts Statistics (NAS), released by Central
Statistics Office (CSO) recently, the shares of industrial sector in Gross
Value Added (GVA) at basic prices at constant (2011-12) prices was 32.3% in
2012-13, 31.7 % in 2013-14, and 31.4 % in 2014-15. The share of manufacturing
in GVA was 18.3 % in 2012-13 and 18.1 % both in 2013-14 and 2014-15.
However, the shares of capital goods and consumer durables in GVA are not given
separately in NAS.
As per 12th Five Year Plan document
prepared by the erstwhile Planning Commission, the industrial sector is
envisaged to grow at an average growth of 7.6 % (projected at 2004-05 prices)
during the plan period (2012-13 to 2016-17). Other components of industry viz
Manufacturing, ‘Electricity, gas and water supply’, and Construction are
envisaged to grow at an average rate of 7.1 %, 7.3 % and 9.1 % during the 12th Plan
period.
The Government is continuously taking measures to
accelerate the growth of industrial sector. For creation of conducive business
environment, the Government is constantly simplifying and rationalizing the
processes and the procedures for boosting investor sentiment, simplifying the
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) policy and correcting the inverted duty
structure. Some of the recent initiatives towards this end include pruning the
list of industries that can be considered as defence industries requiring industrial
license, two extensions of two years each in the initial validity of three
years of the industrial license permitted up to seven years, removal of
stipulation of annual capacity in the industrial license, and deregulating the
annual capacity for defence items for Industrial License. The recent amendments
in FDI policy include allowing FDI in Defence up to 49 %, in Railway
infrastructure up to 100 %, in Insurance and Pension Sector upto 49 %. The
investment limit requiring prior permission from Foreign Investment Promotion
Board (FIPB)/Cabinet Committee of Economic Affairs is increased from Rs. 1200
crore to Rs. 3000 crore. The definition of investment by Non Resident Indians
(NRIs), Person of Indian Origin (PIOs) and Overseas Citizen of India (OCIs) in
FDI policy has been revised.
Further, inter alia, the Government has launched
the e-biz Mission Mode Project under the National e-Governance Plan, and is
implementing the Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) project. In addition,
the Government has conceptualized Amritsar Kolkata Industrial Corridor,
Chennai-Bengaluru Industrial Corridor, Bengaluru Mumbai Economic Corridor and
the Vizag-Chennai Industrial Corridor (as the first phase of an East Coast
Economic Corridor), and setting up a National Industrial Corridor Development
Authority (NICDA) for coordinating and overseeing progress of the various
industrial corridors.
Recently, the Government has launched “Make in
India” programme with 25 thrust sectors to provide a major push to
manufacturing in India. An Investor Facilitation Cell has also been created in
‘Invest India’ to assist, guide, handhold and facilitate investors during the
various phases of business life cycle. This Cell will provide necessary
information on vast range of subjects; such as, policies of the Ministries and
State Governments, various incentive schemes and opportunities available, to
make it easy for the investors to make necessary investment decision.
Information on 25 thrust sectors has been put up on ‘Make in India’s web portal
(http://www.makeinindia.com) along with details of FDI Policy, National
Manufacturing Policy, Intellectual Property Rights and Delhi Mumbai Industrial
Corridor and other National Industrial Corridors.
This
information was given by the Minister of State (Independent Charge) in the
