FUELING MANUFACTURING GROWTH
Welcome once again to Modern Manufacturing India (MMI) magazine July 2017 edition.
he much talked about tax reform in the country – the Goods and Services Tax (GST) came into effect from July 1. The new paradigm in India’s cooperative federalism is expected to bring marked improvement in tax compliance and facilitateT the ease of doing business. The applicability of the standard GST 18 percent rate for machine tools may result in reduction in overall indirect tax. IMTMA, to build up on the current economic scenario and bright economic prospects, is organizing the 11th edition of the National Productivity Summit on August 04-05, 2017 in Pune. The Summit brings out why manufacturers should embrace an integrated approach to optimizing manufacturing productivity and how to prepare their workforce, processes and technology for productivity excellence. The Association will also organize the second edition of the Delhi Machine Tool Expo (DMTX 2017) from August 10–13, 2017 in New Delhi. DMTX 2017 also focuses on Metrology and Welding. METROLOGY EXPO, an exhibition for testing instrument, metrology and equipment and WELDEXPO, an exhibition for welding, cutting and joining, will be held concurrently. IMTMA will continue organizing a wide range of training programmes at its Technology Centers in Bengaluru, Gurugram and Pune to hone the skills of the manufacturing industry’s workforce. The new industrial Policy likely to be released this year is expected to put Indian manufacturing industry on the global map. With this note of optimism, I call upon the industry to wholeheartedly support Association’s initiatives by giving valuable feedback which will help us in our journey to strengthen the Indian manufacturing sector. Readers can also download previous issue of the magazine from IMTMA website. Happy reading.

www.mmindia.co.in July 2017 | 13 PANORAMIC PERSPECTIVE ENCOURAGING FIDELITY IN BUSINESS
n the manufacturing B2B space, most of us believe our customers are loyal since we keep getting repeat business from them over time. It is also perceived that the capital equipment purchase in manufacturing is driven by the same sentiment because it is fairly common to seeI lines of machines from the same manufacturer. However, a different picture emerges when we seriously ponder over the noble quality of loyalty and its attributes. Faithfulness in a relationship inherently implies adhering to the chosen one and not getting strayed by equally or more attractive options. The emotion is far from being logical. It is similarly irrational when an existing customer continues to do business with a The decision of sticking to company even when a cheaper, more convenient or the same company, despite even higher-quality machine is available from another. The decision of sticking to the same company, despite enough knowledge of a enough knowledge of a better offer, has more to do with better offer, has more to the buyer than the seller. do with the buyer than There is a great divide between loyalty and repeat sales. the seller. Technology, price, aesthetics help influence the initial sales, whereas repeat sales happen due to familiarity, T K RAMESH habit, and difficulties in switching. Repeat buying is a Whole time Director and CEO Micromatic Machine Tools Pvt Ltd calculated move driven by sellers who sweeten the deal, making it difficult for the existing buyer to leave. Loyalty, on the other hand, is led by an emotional connect. It stems from the buyer’s belief system and identity, which are deeply personal. He must be able to relate to the company’s philosophy, its way of doing business and what it stands for. Apple customers best exemplify the loyalty in question. While the price of any Apple product is at least 25 to 40 percent more than its competition’s products that offer higher specifications in phones, tabs, note books and computers, Apple has no threat with regard to its customer base. They remain fiercely dedicated, having no qualms with fewer peripheral choices, difference in chargers, proprietary software etc. The decision to buy an Apple is emotional and owning it reflects a sense of identity. Closer home akin to the Harley Davidson furor is our very own Enfield motorcycle following, which helps to reiterate that loyalty is more about a company’s ability to express a distinct sense of why they exist and what they believe in rather than what they make or the quality of what they make. The clearer the belief, the greater the appeal of the company to those with similar beliefs. From a Machine Tool perspective, the philosophy of service—standing with the customer in times of need, handholding him with a strong belief of customer support and practicing the belief across the company—drives loyalty. When put in practice, the company reflects an authentic belief system that will be supported by a loyal customer base.

IMPLICATIONS OF GST India’s biggest tax reform has finally arrived. Hailed as a potential game-changer for India Inc, Goods & Services Tax (GST) has evoked a mixed bag of responses from businesses. While some are all praises for the favorable changes in the system, others view differently. An insightful read...
AUNCH of GST has brought in a simplified tax regime, which is easy to comply with. Cascading of taxes on account of levy of various taxes have been eliminated with GST Lcoming into effect. Removal of check-posts is helping movement of goods without hindrance. The benefit of GST will reduce the manufacturing costs and hence increase the baseline profit. Reduction in costs will provide headroom for price reduction, benefiting end-users. Post-GST, Indian manufacturing eco-system will become competitive in the global market.”
GIRISH SHANKAR Secretary Department of Heavy Industry Ministry of Heavy Industries & Public Enterprises
NDIA is now “One Tax One Nation”. However, there is a need to correct some anomalies in GST rates, whereby some industrial intermediates. For example, CNC system, ball screws, Ietc., which are critical inputs to building CNC machine tools, attract GST at 28 percent, whereas the end products (CNC machine tools) are at 18 percent. The ideal situation would be to tax raw materials, intermediates and finished products at successively increasing GST rates (say 5 percent, 12 percent and 18 percent). It may take some time for SMEs to move from the earlier tax compliance to GST, but once it is done, it would be a game changer for the Indian machine tool industry.”
V ANBU Director General & CEO Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers’ Association (IMTMA)
34 | July 2017 Modern Manufacturing India ST can be seen to bring transformational change in the indirect tax system of the country. The manufacturing industry, with a significant amount of input originating Gin different states, will save directly on CST. Since the manufacturing industry has been otherwise claiming ED, CVD/SAD and VAT benefits already, it may not make much difference to the cause of reducing cost. However, transparency in the system will certainly be a boon for all above-board tax paying organizations in the country. Over time, simplification of procedure and transparency will certainly help to improve the size of tax benefits. It is a welcome change that will have a significant impact going forward.”
L KRISHNAN Managing Director TaeguTec India Pvt Ltd & Past President, IMTMA
ST aims to replace a plethora of cascading taxes in the states and the Centre and simplify the procedure. It is poised as a catalyst for driving growth in the manu Gfacturing industry. In this transition period, a major concern of the industry is the refund of Input Tax Credit, the realization of which will occur once the final supply is concluded. This may impact the manufacturing segment in a major way due to interruptions in the cash flow and blockage of funds. The domestic industry will need to re-engineer its supply chain strategies in order to cope with the new system. GST, coupled with the Government’s ambitious “Make in India” initiative, will definitely boost India’s manufacturing sector.”
BHASKAR SARKAR Executive Director and Secretary Engineering Export Promotion Council of India (EEPC India)
ITHIN the electrical industry, there are mixed feelings about the impact of GST. The reduction in the rate for coal to five percent will slightly bring down the cost Wof procurement, mainly benefitting thermal projects under operation. How much will it cushion the increase in the operational cost on account of a higher rate for services under GST is yet to be seen. IEEMA is seriously concerned about the higher rate of 28 percent GST announced on some electrical products. It has made a representation to the government for reclassification of GST on these products from 28 to 12 percent. Through our efforts, GST rates of some of these products were brought down to 18 percent, which is a good news for electrical equipment manufacturers.”
SUNIL MISRA Director General Indian Electrical & Electronics Manufacturers’ Association (IEEMA)

HE manufacturing sector of the developing economies is their major economic driver. However, India’s manufacturing industry is still striving to increase its contribution Tto the country’s GDP. The sector will be revived under the focused efforts of the government and by the implementation of a GST regime. One of the advantages of GST is the reduced cost of production that is expected to be spurred by tax reduction. Another is that the non-accessibility of central tax credit over state taxes and vice versa will be removed. Checkpoints at the state border along with the regulatory obstruction reduce the efficiency of Indian manufacturers. The new GST model will unify the Indian market and assist the smooth flow of goods within the country.”
RAJESH NATH Managing Director VDMA India
HE Auto Component industry whole heartedly welcomes this path-breaking reform. While tier 1s larger companies are GST ready, I am a bit apprehensive about the Tpreparedness of tier 2s and tiers 3s, the small and medium enterprises. Needless to say, any non-compliance on any part of the value chain will defeat this reform. Tier 1s will, therefore, have to ensure that their downstream industry is GST complaint. Being an intermediary industry, we had made a plea to the government that the auto components attract 18 percent GST rates. However, most components have been put at 28 percent. Cons idering we have a growing aftermarket in the country, a moderate rate would have resulted in better compliance and, thus, enabled tackling the grey and spurious product sales.”
VINNIE MEHTA Director General Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA)
OR the Manufacturing sector, the net effect is more positive as logistic inefficiencies are greatly reduced. Now GST credit can be taken on all purchases including the Fadmin costs, resulting in the reduction of the cost of operations. The GST law has more clarity with a single rate of GST on a chosen product pan India, though there may be minor anomalies. As the law is implemented and enforced digitally, there will be a greater transparency to it, which will reduce litigation. The businesses too will have to deal with a single authority. Hence, the situation is favorable for further growth in the sector since it will attract more FDI and create more jobs. Finally, the sector’s contribution to GDP will also go up.”
INDRADEV BABU Managing Director UCAM Pvt Ltd
HIS transformational policy initiative will drive economic growth in the manufacturing sector. GST will usher in a number of positives including elimination of the cascading Teffects of tax. Applicability of taxes only on value additions and availability of more credits will lead to reduced cost of production for the manufacturing companies. As more businesses from unorganized sectors come under GST to compete in the market, there will be an increase in the revenue collections. Hence, businesses which are fully compliant under GST will have better chances to survive and grow. Re-organization of supply chains and distribution networks will result in reduction of costs and business complexities.”
BC RAO Managing Director Kennametal India Ltd
36 | July 2017 Modern Manufacturing India HE country’s biggest tax reform ushers in a new era that impacts everyone, from the common man on the street to business boardrooms. We can see this as another action Tin the series of actions taken by the government to improve India’s competitiveness and the ease of doing business. The biggest beneficiary of GST will be the Manufacturing sector that has an extended value chain which will be relieved of the burden of cascading taxes. This singular tax structure has the potential to enable seamless logistics flow, improve goods availability across the country and allow manufacturers to build new capabilities in efficient distribution systems.”
DHARMESH ARORA Managing Director, FAG Bearings India Ltd & CEO, Schaeffler India
HE immediate impact of GST can be seen in the Auto sector and the FMCG, where the prices have dropped between five to seven percent soon after the GST rollout. TThis is not the case in other sectors. Price reduction in these sectors will depend upon how the Anti Profiteering authority functions. Machine tool manufacturers (MTBs) are expected to see a surge in order inflow due to a lower cost of investment, because customers who were not under Excise in the past have moved to GST, wherein GST paid on capital goods is available for set off. Organised machine tool companies concentrated in the South India can save time in transporting machines to customers in the North or far off places due to abolition of check posts across various state borders.”
B RAGHAVENDRA CFO Ace Designers
HE implementation of GST will significantly improve the competitiveness and performance of India’s manufacturing sector. The complexity of multiple indirect Ttaxes had led to significant administrative costs. GST will bring in the ease of doing business in this sector. The manufacturing sector stands to benefit significantly from the introduction of GST. The overall reduction of cascading effect of taxes, especially on the Procedural Cost, Pricing and Profitability, Redress location bias, Post-manufacturing activities and Supply chain should have a positive effect on the cost of manufactured products in the hands of consumers.”
ARUN NENE Manager Channel Support Jyoti CNC Automation Ltd
HE impact of GST will definitely be positive due to reasons including reduced cost of production, scrapping of multiple evaluations, ease of registration, improved cash Tflow, and a unified pricing system across the nation. However, the manufacturing sector has to cope with some immediate and short-term challenges like the availability of resourceful and knowledgeable skilled manpower to implement this system, transaction scheduling as per prescribed deadlines, coordination between the supplier and the buyer, and the revival of special sanctions to specific states/regions/SEZs etc. Last but not the least, GST will surely contribute to the faster realization of “Make in India” initiative by the Hon. Prime Minister of India. It will simplify the tax structure, thus encouraging foreign investors to invest in India.”
