Fertilizer sales up 12 percent year-on-year due to favorable weather

According to the ICRA rating agency, fertilizer sales in India increased by 12 percent year-on-year. Further growth in sales volume is expected as the area of winter-sown crops this season stands at about 67.5 million hectares. This increase in cultivated area is based on a high rainfall monsoon season, sufficient water in reservoirs, and subsidies from the government. Fiscal 2021 will be critical for the fertilizer industry, ICRA estimates. Manufacturers could sell record volumes, earn good profits and reduce debt.

 

Ravish Mehta, chief analyst at ICRA Ratings, said due to the extraordinary increased acreage in the winter season as well as a good summer harvest, fertilizer sales volumes have reached record levels in fiscal 2021. Sales volumes of individual fertilizer or fertilizer components increased in the range of 9 to 29 percent. The substances most in demand were urea, ammonium phosphate, compound fertilizer, potassium chloride and supersphospate. Fertilizer retailers also saw strong growth in fiscal 2021, as farmers mostly stockpiled small quantities to reduce their expenses.

The Indian government plans to provide further subsidies of between $12 billion and $13 billion to the fertilizer industry in the upcoming fiscal year 2022. With good crop forecasts for the current season, prices are expected to remain stable as well as government tax revenues to increase, ICRA analysts said. The winter season of Indian agriculture includes wheat, rapeseed, mustard and chickpeas. Wheat accounts for the majority at 33.7 million hectares, or 49 percent, followed by chickpeas at 10.9 million hectares and oilseeds such as rapeseed and mustard at 7.3 million hectares. For oilseeds, a record area was cultivated for this season, most of it in the state of Rajasthan, which accounts for 35 to 40 percent of the total cultivated area.

Certification requirement for Automotive Glass is moved from AIS to BIS

IS2553 used to be under the responsibility of the individual Automotive certification agencies such as ARAI or iCAT, but starting August 2021 BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) will be responsible for the products applying to this standard. Therefore, certification from then on is no longer voluntary, but mandatory.
 

 
The certification process is now to be carried out by all importers with BIS. This process consists, among other steps, of product tests in India as well as a factory audit. In addition, some test requirements are changing such as abrasion tests or moisture tests.
The change applies to the following product types:

SI. No.	Goods or Articles	Indian Standard	Title of Indian Standard
(1)	(2)	(3)	(4)
1.	Safety Glass (Architectural, Building and General uses)	IS: 2553 (Part 1):2018	Safety Glass – Specification Part 1 Architectural, Building and General uses
2.	Safety Glass (For Road Transport)	IS: 2553 (Part 2): 2019	Safety lass – Specification Part 2 For Road transport

 
Since the list is constantly changing and expanding, it is often not clear whether a product is subject to certification or not.
We can help you here and provide reliable information about the regulations for your product.

Indian market for electric vehicles to become more attractive through new regulations

Ahead of upcoming deliberations on the Indian state government’s annual budget, the Society of Manufacturers of Electric Vehicles (SMEV) has urged Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to revamp the FAME subsidy program. The association said to either revise the upcoming Phase 2 of FAME or reintroduce Phase 1 of FAME. The budget of the FAME 2 incentive program is the equivalent of about $1.37 billion, is for a three-year period and was introduced on April 1, 2019. Phase 2 is an extension of the FAME 1 India program, which came into effect on April 1, 2015 with a sum of $123 million. The acronym FAME stands for “Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles.”

 

 

In addition, it hopes to see a reduction in VAT for electric vehicles. SMEV Chairman Sohinder Gill also wrote, “For a young and fragile industry like electric vehicles, which is also heavily dependent on government subsidies, there is a need for an effective strategy to support the market. The electric vehicle industry is still behind its target figures.”

The plan was to support 1 million electric two-wheelers, 500,000 three-wheelers, 55,000 passenger cars and light commercial vehicles, and 7,000 buses. The SMEV argued that FAME 2 needs to be more attractive for customers because conditions, especially for two-wheelers, need to be made affordable for the mass of the population despite subsidies. To support the Indian automotive industry, the deadline for subsidy applications to manufacture components for electric vehicles has been extended for the second time to April 1, 2021.

The relevant technical automotive standards, called Automotive Industry Standards or AIS for short, apply to Indian manufacturing locations. The process of AIS certification according to the Indian AIS (Automotive Industry Standard) can be challenging and complex. We will be pleased to support you in the AIS certification process and are also available to answer any questions you may have.

AIS stands for Automotive Industry Standards, the technical automotive standards for India, while TAC stands for Type Approval Certificate. This kind of automotive product certifiation is conducted by authorities like the International Center for Automotive Technology (iCAT).

Depending on the product category, there are different certification steps. We will be happy to advise you on certification in India and are always available to answer your questions.

India implemented several measures to facilitate trade

According to a recent WTO report, since 2015 India has implemented several measures to facilitate trade such as simplification of trading procedures and the customs clearance for imports and exports. Namely, India introduced digital systems to ease trading such as Indian Customs Electronic Gateway (ICEGATE); Single Window Interface for Facilitation of Trade (SWIFT); the Direct Port Delivery and the Direct Port Entry facilities; and the increased use of the Risk Management System (RMS). Currently, the Geneva-based WTO is reviewing India’s trade policy for the sixth time and as a result will publish a Trade Policy Review (TPR) paper. The TPR is of importance to monitor and peer-review each WTO member’s national trade policies, in this case India.
 

 
So far, the WTO is satisfied with India’s progress such as reduction in the number of documents required for trading as well as the automation of the customs clearance for import and export. However, the report also revealed that India’s trade policy remained largely unchanged since the previous review in 2015. To manage to market situation, India relies on trade policy instruments like tariffs, export taxes, defined minimum import prices as well as import and export restrictions and licensing. As a result of this policy, tariff rates and other policy instruments are subject to frequent changes which creates uncertainty for traders.
With respect to the rapidly expanding size of the Indian market foreign trading partners, both leading industrialized but also developing countries, are expecting a greater liberalization of India’s current trade policies, especially in the area of agriculture. Calls have been made to harmonize its standards regime with international standards as well as reducing anti-dumping duties and other trade-remedy measures. To this end, India plans to introduce mandatory product certifications for additional 150 products within 2020. The relevant authority undertaking the whole process will be the state-related Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), the national body for industry standards. Product certification according to the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) was introduced in July 2013 and is intended to guarantee quality, safety and reliability to third parties.
While this measure could initially put pressure on importers, it is also an opportunity to increase sales and strengthen your company’s market presence in India. We would be pleased to assist you with BIS certification and are also available to answer any questions you may have. MPR International GmbH – India Certification offers you a complete package for BIS certification, where you will be optimally supported.

Mercedes-Benz expects considerable growth in India this year

German luxury vehicle manufacturer Mercedes-Benz expects considerable growth in India this year, underpinned by the launch of 15 new models and rising demand in the fourth quarter of 2020. However, the company will not be able to match its former 2018 peaks until 2022, a management official said. This slow recovery comes as a result of supply issues from automotive suppliers in Europe. Mercedes-Benz India CEO Martin Schwenk said in an interview that a return to normalcy is taking place with increasing momentum in the fourth quarter as well as a decline in Covid 19 cases. He also said he sees strong demand across the company’s product range.

 

In India’s festive season during the fall months of 2020, Mercedes-Benz saw an uptick in sales, which was also supported by model debuts. Schwenk further said, “This trend will continue in 2021. We also have 15 new models in the pipeline for the Indian market. With continuation of stable demand, I see a good opportunity for the company to recover and sustain growth this year.” Last year, sales were down 43 percent to 7,893 vehicles, compared to 13,786 vehicles sold in 2019.

Asked about the current year, Schwenk said they are currently having problems starting production. They need experts and parts and machinery from Europe, but this is proving difficult due to restrictions on travel and logistics. Since demand has developed better than originally expected, there are delivery problems for the best-selling GLE and GLS. There are waiting lists and a waiting period of between one and three months for these models. Schwenk expects the situation to ease in the first quarter of 2021. Due to the positive development of the Indian economy and increasing confidence among consumers and especially companies, which make up a large part of the customers, Schwenk sees sustainable growth for Mercedes-Benz in India.

He cited positive market sentiment, rising GDP of the country and per capita, and new innovations in upcoming vehicle models that will help automakers improve sales figures as reasons.

Balbir Singh Dhillon, head of Audi India, said 2021 will be an exciting year for the company. The automaker plans to more than double its current sales figures. To achieve this, he said Audi India will focus on four core topics: Digitalization, Products, Customer Orientation and Sales. BMW India CEO Vikram Pawah shared that the company has recovered month on month in the third quarter of 2020. For 2021, BMW expects growth of 25 to 30 percent and the highest number of product launches ever, 25 new models.

Among the new launches for the Indian market are a number of electric vehicles, including the Tesla Model S, Audi e-tron, Jaguar I-Pace, Volvo XC40 Recharge and electric versions of the Porsche Taycan and Mini Cooper. Overall, experts see record sales figures for the Indian luxury car market this year. Between 28,000 and 33,000 sales are expected compared with around 20,000 last year.

The relevant technical automotive standards, known as Automotive Industry Standards or AIS for short, apply to India as a manufacturing location. In general, these are based on UNECE standards.

SAIL steel production grew by 9 percent from October to December 2020

State-owned Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) announced in early January 2021 that it was able to increase crude steel production by 9 percent to 4.37 million tons during the October-December 2020 period. A year earlier, the company produced around 4 million tons of steel during the identical period. SAIL CEO Soma Mondal said her company has been able to steadily increase production volumes over the past year. In the first quarter, there was a slight drop in sales due to the Covid 19 pandemic but they were able to offset this development with higher unit sales. “We have now reached the production level we had before the pandemic and even posted a slight increase in the last quarter,” Mondal said. She further said that domestic demand of steel will increase as the Indian economy is increasingly recovering and all industries are on the upswing.

 

 

According to a press release, SAIL has been able to reduce its debt to $6.07 billion by December 2020 from the historic high of $7.16 billion in April. The company plans to reduce more debt later this year. The Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) operates under the eponymous Ministry of Steel and is India’s largest steel producer, producing 21 metric tons annually. Steel is an important commodity for India. To curb imports of substandard products, including from China, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has submitted a draft of 150 mandatory quality standards for crude steel and steel products to the Ministry of Commerce. The BIS plans to make the standards mandatory by March 2021.

Since 2012, the BIS has been gradually expanding the certification catalog and continuously adding additional goods. BIS certification mandatory for many electronic products for industrial and consumer uses. Factory inspections are also required for some products.

New Product Groups for ISI and CRS Certifications from Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in India

In 2020, extensive additions were made to the product lists for ISI and CRS certification by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). A total of 269 new product groups were brought under mandatory certification, 242 of the newly added product groups fall under the ISI mode of the BIS certification, 27 under the simplified CRS mode.
It seems the government under Premier Modi has taken advantage of the uncertain economic situation during the Corona crisis to further expand the regulatory framework. This expansion is entirely in light of the 2023 Plan of 2019, through which the Premier Modi set a goal for the government to ensure quality, safety, and reliability of products. It is likely that the lists will be expanded throughout the next few years.
 

 
In general, product tests in India are required for BIS certification and in the case of ISI certification, a factory inspection is also required. It also covers a wide range of products: From steel to household products, chemicals and electronics to toys and various other products need to be certified. Most of the products in that list were just added in 2020. You can find the complete list of the newly added product groups at the end of this article.
The CRS certification requirement mainly covers IT products, as well as other electronics.

Indian telecommunications industry set to develop further

Telecom executives are dissatisfied with the implementation of announced goals, according to a global survey by EY Research. About half, 46 percent, believe the lack of long-term roadmaps is preventing the adoption of automation operations and processes. Sixty-seven percent lamented the lack of expertise and experts to improve the use of artificial intelligence. Four out of five executives surveyed are reassessing the introduction of automated processes or revising existing plans, according to the survey.

India is seeing similar approaches. The telecommunications industry there is undergoing a transformation from a real world to a virtual one. Whereby virtual world here means the Internet, which is brought to the end customers by the numerous providers. Due to our dependence on the internet, the amount of data transmitted wirelessly in India has increased from 6,900 petabytes in December 2019 to 8,280 petabytes in April 2020. From this, it can be inferred that the telecom segment of India is one of the few growth sectors of the economy. For instance, the provider Airtel recorded a growth of 0.9 percent in the last quarter.

Currently, numerous Internet providers and service providers are preparing for the increasing demands and are expanding their infrastructure accordingly. Telecom giant Airtel gained 226,000 new subscribers to its digital television service in the previous quarter and added an additional 10 Tbps to its network capacity. In addition, Airtel is the first provider of vRAN (Virtualized Radio Access Network) based on its 4G network. There was also progress in telecom security and new regulations came into effect. Since October 2020, the encryption protocols of all telecom products must be certified by India’s TEC. TEC is the abbreviation for Telecommunication Engineering Center and the competent authority in India when it comes to TEC certification for telecommunication products.

TEC certification has been around many years before 2019 as a voluntary certification, but since April 2019 the certification has been mandatory and every year the Telecommunication Engineering Center (TEC) expands the certification catalog and adds more telecom products.
