Duty cuts on UK goods may aid firms more than buyers
Union commerce minister Piyush Goyal and his British counterpart Jonathan Reynold during the signing of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), in the UK. NEW DELHI: Government has agreed to cut tariffs on thousands of products imported from UK - from chocolates and cosmetics to cars, silver and Scotch - but reduction and elimination of customs duties will not translate into the entire benefit being passed on to consumers. To begin with, customs duty is only the basic cost of the landed price for an Indian seller. On top of that are local levies - GST or excise - which even an Indian manufacturer has to pay. And, this can be a significant portion of the final price. Take the case of alcohol, for instance, where the landed price of a bottle of the popular Johnnie Walker Black Label is estimated at around Rs 350, which at 150% customs duty sees a levy of Rs 525. On top of that, there is a 200% margin for the importer, the company, in most cases - which means an addition of around Rs 750 - taking the landed price to Rs 1,275. Then comes excise of 85% or Rs 1,084 and VAT of 25% (Rs 590), taking the wholesale price to Rs 2,950. Then comes the retail margin, pushing the cost in a market like Delhi to over Rs 3,000 a bottle. The actual price reduction for a customer will only be Rs 200-300 a bottle, a top industry executive told TOI while predicting a higher margin for companies. That's especially true for Made-in-India whisky, which blend anywhere between 1% and 25-30% Scotch imported in bulk form. "Going forward, for several MNCs operating in India, bottling in India may not be a great idea and they will simply import bottles of blended whisky," the source said. A similar situation is likely to play out in other sectors such as cosmetics too, where companies will see improved margins, said marketing executives. There is no mechanism for govt to ensure the full benefit is passed on. Although it tried to ensure the window is no longer available under GST and in any case, companies dragged authorities to court, questioning the calculations. In segments such as automobiles, competition from players will drive pricing behaviour, as will other trade agreements. For instance, with the EU deal in the pipeline, a German carmaker or Tesla may just lower domestic prices significantly to grab a bigger pie of the market. With duty reduction in several segments staggered over 10 years, price cuts are not on the immediate horizon.

CII summit flags need for better regional connectivity to boost devpt
Mangaluru: The issue of lack of connectivity posing a major hurdle in Mangaluru's march towards the Silicon Beach and Beyond Bengaluru initiatives took centre stage at the Infrastructure & Logistics Summit organised by Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) Mangaluru here on Thursday. Delivering the keynote address, New Mangalore Port Authority (NMPA) chairman Venkata Ramana Akkaraju said even after 75 years of Independence, connectivity from the rest of Karnataka to the west of the state has not improved, hindering the progress of the coastal districts. "Infrastructure, connectivity, and GDP growth are complementary to each other. Udupi and Dakshina Kannada contribute Rs 1.2 lakh crore of to the GDP of Karnataka, with per capita income being around Rs 4.92 lakh. Yet, we have to accept that coastal Karnataka is still missing the bus," he said. Within the state itself, there have been connectivity issues. Mangaluru-Bengaluru NH 75 and NH 275 to Mysuru were a work-in-progress for several years, often closed during heavy rains. The Mangaluru-Hassan rail connectivity, too, often gets affected due to heavy showers. Given such a situation, Mangaluru-Bengaluru airfares have shot up to Rs 10,000. In spite of the many challenges, NMPA has increased its cargo handling from 34 million tonnes to 46 million tonnes in the past five years, with profit after tax rising from Rs 110 crore to Rs 550 crore. The port could have handled more than 65 million tonnes of cargo, increasing its profit by an additional Rs 150 crore, had there been adequate connectivity, Akkaraju claimed. S Selvakumar, the principal secretary in the commerce and industries department, said: "Karnataka ranks No. 1 in per capita gross state domestic product (GSDP) in the country, and No. 2 in foreign direct investment as well as GST contribution." He added that the state's Industrial Policy 2025-30 is focused on developing world-class infrastructure. '92% willing to return home' Suyog Shetty, the CEO of Niveus Solutions, said 92% of the talent that migrated from the coastal region of Karnataka are willing to return home if there are meaningful alternatives. Speaking on 'Mangaluru as the Next Tech Destination: Leveraging Cloud, Talent, and Innovation' at the CII summit on Thursday, Shetty highlighted the need to engage local talent in the state's development journey. "If you offer the right opportunity and adequate salary, people will return to Mangaluru," he said. He said the Karnataka govt's policy, availability of land, and proximity to power sources are very favourable for anyone to set up data centres in Mangaluru. According to G Sundararaman, the chief scientist and head of Wipro Research, India is in an absolute tech decade with vast opportunities in the semiconductor industry. The cascading effect could be felt in Mangaluru as well, he added. Underscoring the cost benefits of acquiring office and residential spaces in Mangaluru, Rohith Bhat, the founder of Robosoft, said: "The region has a good ecosystem, with companies referred to as 'talent capitals'. There are several engineering and other colleges around. This massive talent pool allows firms to acquire the best brains from within the region itself." Suvin Narayan, representing the Karnataka Digital Economy Mission, spoke on 'accelerating digital infrastructure in Tier-II cities: KEDM's Vision for Mangaluru'.

Govt facilities boosted industrial growth, GST collection: CM
Gandhinagar: Speaking at an event in Banaskantha district after unveiling development projects worth Rs 358.37 crore, chief minister Bhupendra Patel said that facilities provided by the govt have boosted industrial activity, which in turn has increased goods and service tax (GST) collection. He was referring to India's gross GST collection of Rs 2 lakh crore in May this year. The CM said, "Besides the fear of getting punished, people have started paying their taxes because they have realised that the tax money is being utilised for their welfare. Government schemes are benefiting every deserving citizen. This is the reason the country's tax revenue has increased in recent times." Patel said that facilities offered by the state govt are also contributing to the growth of industries and hence a resultant increase in GST collection. "India's GST collection was more than Rs 2 lakh crore in just one month (May). A trader can pay tax only when his business does well. You will need good roads, electricity and water connection at industrial estates for running a business. Only then will you earn well and eventually pay taxes. Therefore, facilities are also important," the CM said.

The govt said that Nadabet in Banaskantha district has been developed as a border tourism site under the Seema Darshan scheme, and citizens have been able to witness the activities of BSF jawans closely under the scheme.
