My dear fellow exporters,

The Council presented the suggestions received from its members on the Annual Supplementto the Exim Policy for the year 2008-09 before the Director General of Foreign Trade (DGFT),New Delhi on November 02, 2007. In the submission, the Council pointed out the devastating effectthat Rupee appreciation has had on Indian engineering exporters. We have suggested to theGovernment a series of steps such as creation of a Foreign Exchange Stabilization Fund, greaterfinancial reforms, among others, for negating the effects of Rupee appreciation on Indian exporters.We have also suggested that the Service Tax exemption notification on Service Tax paid on postproduction exports should be enlarged to include taxes paid on foreign commission, participationin exhibitions abroad etc.; extension of DEPB scheme till 2010 when GST is expected to beintroduced; adoption of a list of best practices identified by the Council by all states in India forVAT refund; introduction of a raw material policy so that the SME sector can receive raw materialsat competitive price as also increases in DEPB and Drawback Value Caps; as also inclusion ofMica and Mica Products in FPS.

The DGFT officials including Shri R. S. Gujral, Director General of Foreign Trade were sympatheticto the effects of Rupee appreciation as also other suggestion that were made by the Council. Inparticular, they informed that with regard to enhancement of DEPB and Duty Drawback Value Capsas well as fixing of SION norms, the Council should request its members to make the necessaryrepresentation in the prescribed format i.e. Ayaat Niryat Form together with supporting data andshould then forward it to the DGFT and the Ministry of Finance so that these issues can beaddressed.

I would also like to point out that the RBI has extended the 2% interest subvention benefit on exportcredit from December 31, 2007 to March 31, 2007 while it has also liberalized the rules for bookingforward contracts to enable SMEs to benefit from hedging of foreign currency risks. While theseare, indeed, most valuable policy initiatives by the RBI, it is important that banks implement thepolicies announced by the RBI. It may be mentioned that banks are yet to operationalize the RBIannouncement that interest be paid on EEFC accounts. We have brought this up to the noticeof the DGFT also and do hope that the RBI will follow it up with the banks.

Yours sincerely,

(RAKESH SHAH)

About Russia

Russia ended 2006 with its 8th straight year of growth averaging 6.7% annually since the financial crises of 1998. Althoughhigh oil prices and a relatively cheap Rouble initially drove this growth, since 2003-04 consumer demand and, morerecently, investment have played a significant role. A number of important reforms in the areas of tax, banking, labour

and land codes have raised investor confidence which led to surge in FDI to 14.6 billion US$ in 2005.

India and Russia :

Russia and India enjoy long standing historic relations. Immediately prior to the collapse of the Soviet Union, India wasthe largest trade partner. However, after its disintegration, total trade between India and Russia dropped drastically. Since2001-02 there has been no growth in India�s overall export to Russia. However, there has been a surge in import fromRussia to India. Since 2003-04, India�s trade balance with Russia is negative and on the rise.

In the engineering sector a growth is observed in export from India to Russia � 68% in 2005-06 over 2004-05. The majorareas of growth are :

- Manufactures of Metals; - Machinery and Instruments;

- Transport Equipments; - Machine Tools;

- Items of Iron and Steel.

In view of the present economic boom in Russia, imports to Russia are increasing significantly. In order to increase India�sshare in Russia�s global imports, it is being planned to organize an exclusive Indian Engineering Exhibition (INDEE) inSt. Petersburg.

Overseas Market Information

Market Study on Engineering Process Outsourcing

(Part - II)

Engineering Process Outsourcing from India

Engineering Process Outsourcing (EPO) services from India will be a key element of the country's engineering export

strategy, and the development of the EPO sector will have a far-reaching impact on India's engineering industry as a

whole. This was stated by Shri Kamal Nath, Minister of Commerce and Industry, at the meeting of the Parliamentary

Consultative Committee of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry. �The EPO market in India has the potential to exceed

US$ 40 billion by 2020, which will catapult India's market share in this category to 30% from the current 12%. And to

tap the EPO market all the important stakeholders, including Government, service providers and trade bodies will need

to boost investments in infrastructure and improve marketing efforts�, he said. Engineering goods exports from India have

crossed US$ 5 billion in the first quarter of the 2006, showing a growth of 20%. But it has the potential to grow at a

rate of 30% annually.

India has already proved its capability in the field of IT services and is a successful business process outsourcing (BPO)

nation. After the success in the IT and BPO sectors, India is now a sought-after destination for outsourcing services

in other areas as well. They include specific types of knowledge transfer like legal, tax and accounting services, etc.,

all grouped under Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO) services.

Engineering knowledge transfer had once been a part of KPO services. But growing demand for such services and because

of their highly technical nature, EEPC has grouped them separately as engineering process outsourcing (EPO). Engineering

Process Outsourcing (EPO) is an emerging high-growth opportunity for India. For manufacturers across various industry

sectors, it is an attractive option because of increasing pressure resulting from shorter product life cycles and the strain

on their internal resources. Also, EPO comes with a host of benefits for the outsourcing organization.

India�s technological capabilities, a large pool of good English-speaking engineers backed by a well developed IT and

telecom infrastructure, and the wage cost arbitrage makes India an attractive destination for those wanting to outsource

engineering processes. Global organizations have identified the engineering talent available with India and are outsourcing

both low- and high-end services from the country.

The growing demand for engineering processes have led to the setting up of engineering centre by overseas and domestic

organizations to tap the country�s engineering talent. India�s burgeoning economy also makes it a strategically important

destination for foreign direct investment (FDI) in setting up captive centre for research and development (R&D) activities.

The global EPO opportunity is expected to grow manifold in the years to come, thus making it an important services

export focus area. Besides India, the other countries that can competently handle EPO services are countries like Brazil,

China, Philippines, etc. They too have similar advantages and are fast competing with India in the export of EPO services.

What prompted EEPC to prepare this report was (i) the nascency of the EPO industry in India, (ii) its huge potential,

and (iii) the competition that India faces from other countries in engineering process outsourcing services. This strategy

paper outlines the industry�s structure, assesses the market potential and details the approach and strategy for growth

of EPO exports from India.



Scope of Work

The terms of reference for the study are :

� Industry structure

o Delineate various services constituting EPO

o Define the industry structure. This will cover major services and industry sectors, countries/regions at the demand

and supply side

� Potential market opportunities

o Identify key drivers that impact engineering process outsourcing

o Identify major regions and countries with a potential for outsourcing engineering services

o Broadly assess range of potential market size and associated growth trends in the short term (0-2 years), medium

term (3-5 years) and long term (6-10 years)

� India�s competitiveness

o Analyse current status of export of EPO from India and assess competitive advantages and strengths

o Broadly map India�s strength and competitiveness with respect to global potential market opportunities

� Competition analysis

o Identify major countries/regions that cater to the market demand

o Broadly assess the profile of competing countries/regions

o Develop an overview of existing EPO industry structure in India

� SWOT analysis

o Carry out a SWOT analysis based on the above

o Identify potential thrust sectors and thrust markets for India

� Formulation of export strategy

o Formulate strategy for the growth of EPO

o Assess the scope of small engineering organizations in the export of engineering services from India

o Identify the thrust industry sectors and regions for EPO

o Measures to be initiated by various bodies for the growth of EPO

� Implementation roadmap

o Draw up a roadmap to implement the recommended strategy and indicate the timeline and action to be taken



Approach and Methodology

The approach to the study included a combination of secondary and primary research followed by analysis. The secondaryresearch included Deloitte World Wide resources, AFF database, Worldwide Web and relevant journals.

The primary search consisted of contacts with about 33 respondents in major Indian cities (Bangalore, Mumbai, Kolkata,Delhi and the NCR). They included engineering service providers and related industry associations. This was followedby data collation and analysis of the information gathered from the primary and secondary research.

Schematic Outline of the Methodology



Engineering Process Defined

An Engineering Process (EP) is defined as a complete engineering design cycle activity for a product or a service fromthe conceptualization stage till the pre-manufacturing stage including the development of the prototype. It also extendsbeyond the manufacturing stage : this includes applications like product life cycle management (PLM) solutions and productre-engineering solutions, etc. Engineering processes also entail design and R&D activities across industry sectors likeautomotive, aerospace, telecom, utilities, etc. Besides the design elements of a product or service, the engineering processalso include the infrastructure, equipment and processes used in delivering the service.

The key areas of engineering process application are :

� Product Engineering

� Process Engineering

� Plant Automation

� Enterprise Asset Management (EAM)

Major Industry Sectors that Outsource Engineering Processes

The global R&D expenditure is considered to be a fair indicator of the expenditure on EPO services in various industrysectors. A detailed analysis of various secondary sources and primary sources shows that the major industry sectorsin which the bulk of expenditure on EPO services happens are :

� Electronics and Telecommunications

� Automotive

� Aerospace and Defense

� Utilities and Industrial Construction

The largest spend is by the electronics and telecom industries which together account for about 40 per cent, followedby the auto sector at 29 per cent, aerospace at 9 per cent, utilities and industrial construction at 9 per cent, and heavyengineering at 2 per cent. The remaining 10 per cent is outsourced to other industry sectors. This 10 per cent is heldby sectors like ship building/marine engineering, architectural services, materials, mining and industrial conglomerates, etc.

Major Spenders on Engineering Processes

The global R&D spend is a fairly representative indicator of the expenditure on engineering processes and is spread acrossvarious industry sectors. Besides the R&D spend in the engineering sectors, non-engineering sectors like IT, Pharmaceuticals,Biotech, and Chemicals who do not constitute a part of EPO, spend a significant amount on R&D. A detailed analysisof the R&D expenditure by various secondary sources is presented in Annexure - II. (Please refer to Annexure - II forsector-wise breakdown of R&D expenditures in various industry sectors including non-engineering sectors like IT,Pharmaceuticals, and Chemicals).

Annexure II

Analysis of Industry Sector-wise R&D expenditure through various sources

According to the report by Technology Review, September 2005, the global R&D expenditure of the top 150 companies

in the year 2004 adds up to about $ 280 bn. This was more than 30 per cent of the global R&D expenditure of $ 922 bn

in the year 2004. According to the report, the expenditure in the pharmaceutical sector is the maximum at 25 per cent

followed by the automotive sector contributing 24 per cent. If we club the spending on telecom, semiconductors, electronics/

electrical and computer hardware, the total share of the electronics and telecom sector in R&D spending come to 30 per

cent. The aerospace sector takes the next place with 5 per cent. (It is important to note that this figure is from corporate



spending only. A considerable part of the R&D spend in the aerospace industry comes from the defence sector.) Exhibit 2A

depicts the sector-wise expenditure by the top 150 companies spending on R&D work.

Exhibit - 2ASector-wise R&D spend by the top 150 companies in 2004

UNCTAD�s World Investment Report 2005 gave this breakdown of the R&D expenditure of 700 of the top MNCs : 34 per centcame from the electronics and telecom, 18 per cent from the automotive sector, and 3.9 per cent from aerospace anddefence. Exhibit 2B represents the industry sector wise expenditure on R&D.

Exhibit - 2CIndustry Sector-wise global engineering spend in 2004

Exhibit - 2DSector-wise R&D spend by top 100 companies in 2004

According to the study Globalization of engineering services conducted by Booz Allen Hamilton, the global expenditure onengineering services distribution among the various industry sectors place automotive at 19 per cent, aerospace and defenceat 8 per cent & high-tech and telecom at 30 per cent. Exhibit 2C (above) shows the industry sector-wise R&D expenditure.Similar observations are made by a survey by Clentifica on the R&D spending of the top 100 companies. The industry sectoranalysis of the spend suggest that about 23 per cent of the spent was accounted by the automobile sector, electronics andtelecom put together was 38 per cent and aerospace and defence at about 4 per cent. Exhibit 2D (above) shows the industrysectorwise R&D expenditure of the top 100 companies in 2004.



Based on the above analysis, a breakdown of the R&D/engineering expenditure by various industry sectors is shown inExhibit 4. This breakdown excludes the R&D expenditure by non-engineering sectors like Pharmaceuticals, Chemicals andIT. The expenditure on utilities has also been appropriately accounted for through various primary and secondary sources.

The EPO Value Chain

The value chain of EPO services shows that engineering process outsourcing is done at various levels of engineering

complexity. Some of the major EPO services applications (in order of increasing engineering complexity) are :

� 2d/3d Modeling

� Engineering Change Order

� Documentation and Conversions

� PLM Solutions

� Product Redesign

� Reverse Engineering

� Design Analysis

� Testing and Simulation

� High-end engineering testing and analysis like FEA and CFD

� Embedded software development

� Core design/concept/idea



EPO Value Chain

Traditionally, outsourcing engineering work has been limited to low-end and labour intensive jobs. Organizations outsourced

jobs that involved lower levels of complexity or intensive labour like digitizing engineering data, conversions from 2D

to 3D, technical manual writing, etc. But with increasing globalization and the growing levels of domain engineering expertise

of the suppliers, outsourcing has risen significantly. Shrinking product life cycles, and increasing pressure to lower costs

and retain engineers involved in core engineering activities has led to global engineering outsourcing moving up the value

chain over the years. Overall, engineering process work involving lower levels of complexity is still being outsourced

in higher volumes. It will, however, be incorrect to pinpoint an application in the value chain that is being outsourced

more because the drivers to outsource the extent of engineering processes changes with the product and the strategies

of the organization.

Outsourcing Strategies

An outsourcing organization may adopt different engineering outsourcing strategies as per requirements. The outsourcingstrategy of an organization can be a function of :

� Cost of the EPO services

� Availability of domain competence with the vendor

� Criticality of the IPR involved

� Impact of the outsourcing function on the functionality of the final product

Outsourcing Strategies can be broadly classified into four Categories

� In-house development (not out-sourcing) : meeting the engineering requirements in-house, i.e., within the organizationand not outsourcing

� Offshore outsourcing to owned engineering centre (Captive Outsourcing) : off shoring EPO services to owned captivecentre, which are located outside the country of the outsourcing organization

� Outsourcing onshore: onshore outsourcing is where the services are outsourced to a third party engineering organizationbut located within the country

� Outsourcing offshore : outsourcing of engineering processes to a third party engineering organization, which is locatedoutside the country of the outsourcing organization



Major Regions Outsourcing Engineering Processes

On the basis of primary and secondary sources, the major countries outsourcing EPO services are :

� North America (US)

� Western Europe (France, Germany, UK)

� Japan

Emerging markets outsourcing engineering processes are :

� Canada and Italy

It was also observed that the major markets, which constitute for most of the demand for engineering processes, areindustrially developed economies where the industries fund for innovation and hence their share in the global R&D spendis also the maximum. The contribution to the global R&D spends by America and Europe alone was close to 57 percent in the year 2005 while Japan accounted for 13 per cent of the global R&D spend in the same year (2006 GlobalR&D report, R&D Magazine September 2006). Also, the global R&D expenditure by these developed countries as explainedabove forms an additional bearing to the primary and the secondary findings that US, Japan and Europe (UK, France,and Germany) are the major countries from where the bulk of the EPO work originates. The global R&D expenditurecontribution of 70 per cent by the big three markets (US, Japan and Europe) does not necessarily mean that theircontribution towards global outsourcing of engineering processes is also in the same ratio. Engineering process outsourcingby these developed countries is in fact much higher than their share of the global R&D expenditure.

The R&D expenditure of China and India is quite high. Though China�s R&D expenditure is as high as Japan�s, it is not anindication of China�s expenditure on EPO services. The reason is that MNCs have opened a large number (more than 700)of R&D centres in China (and in India too). For an indication of the potential for EPO services (demand side), an analysisof the global R&D expenditure was done after excluding the R&D expenditure done by China, India, Brazil, Russia, Taiwanand Mexico � the major countries that supply EPO services to global markets. Exhibit 8 shows the global R&D expenditurebreakdown. This will indicate potential EPO business areas.

A Description of the major countries Outsourcing EPO Services

North America (the US) : The US stands at the apex of the global R&D spend. It has a well-developed automotive,

aerospace and electronics industry, which caters to global markets. With an annual spending of $ 320 bn in 2005, the

US contributed more than a third of the global R&D expenditure of $ 978 bn. The US also contributes the maximum

to global engineering process outsourcing. The result has been that the considerable experience the US has gained over

the years about outsourcing encourages them to outsource even more. In fact the first R&D centre established by a

foreign company in India was by Texas Instruments (TI) at Hyderabad in 1985. To increase their technological base,

US organizations significantly invest in captive centre also known as Offshore Development Centre (ODC) in India and

China. US MNCs like GM, Ford, Dell, and Fluor Daniel have set up R&D centre in India. The international expenditure

of US organizations on R&D has risen continuously with more then $ 21 bn spent in the year 2002. This was 13.3 per

cent of the total American R&D spent in that year (World Investment Report 2005). While being present in emerging

economies like India and China through captive centre, US organizations also outsource a significant amount of EPO

services to third party vendors located in these locations. The recent services contract awarded to HCL Technologies

to provide engineering support to Boeing�s 7E7- Dreamliner is an important example of an American major outsourcing

critical engineering service to an Indian EPO organization. Boeing works with HCL Technologies to co-develop entire

software that will run navigation systems and landing gear to the cockpit controls of the 7E7.

Western Europe (Germany, France, UK) : Western Europe is the second largest market after the US for outsourcing

engineering processes to the world � in 2005 Germany spent $ 59.68 bn, France $ 41.36 bn and UK $ 36.37 bn. The

expenditure of these three countries put together accounts for more than 14 per cent of the global R&D spend next only

to the US which contributed 37 per cent in 2005 (source: R&D Magazine September 2006). Western Europe has a well-

developed automotive and aerospace industry with global companies like Daimler Chrysler, Bosch, Airbus, and Rolls

Royce. Outsourcing by these organizations has risen with rising global demand and reduced product life cycles. West

European organizations have in the past demonstrated an increasing global R&D spends. UNCTAD�s survey from

November 2004-March 2005 conducted for the world�s top 700 spenders on R&D showed that while most of the

organizations had increased their international R&D spend in the past, West European organizations showed the highest

levels of internationalization of R&D. Among the top three West European spenders, Germany�s R&D internationalization



has been the most prominent. The international R&D spending of German organizations grew to $ 12 bn in 2001, a 130

per cent jump from 1999. In 2004, of the 45,000 R&D employees working in German organizations, 49 per cent worked

in locations outside Germany (Source : UNCTAD : World Investment Report 2005). Exhibit 9 shows the extent of

internationalization of R&D (extent of R&D investment at offshore locations) by major regions/countries.

The R&D expenditure distribution indicate that besides the major countries � US, Japan, UK, Germany and France �

and the emerging countries � Canada and Italy � who outsource EPO services, the other countries/regions from where

EPO opportunities may arise are :

� South Korea

� Singapore and Australia

� Spain, Sweden and Netherlands

Important Notice

ToAll Members of the Council

Members may be aware that Engineering Process Outsourcing (EPO) is gaining eminence all over the world and is expected

to grow to US$ 40 billion by 2008. India is emerging as fore-runner in Engineering Process Outsourcing Industry and

the current market size is US$ 3.2 � 3.4 billion.

We are pleased to inform you that the Council has been given the responsibility to promote Engineering Process

Outsourcing by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry. The Council has already begun work in promoting EPO from India.

It may be noted that the Council has commissioned A. F. Ferguson & Co. ( now Delloite & Touche) to carry out a detailed

study on the current state of the Engineering Process Outsourcing Industry in India and its potential for growth in the

future. This study was made on the basis of the request from the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, who were very

keen to assess where the Indian Engineering Industry was also moving from manufacturing to the services end as is

the case elsewhere in Indian industry.

The study has recommended a series of steps for the future development of the EPO industry. Accordingly, based on

the recommendation of the Panel Sub-Committee of the Council, the Working Committee of the Council has constituted

a new Panel namely �Engineering Process Outsourcing Panel�. This new Panel, like various other Panels functioning

under the Council, will look at the various recommendations made by the Study and prepare a roadmap for achieving

the potential that exists in India�s EPO industry. The Panel will work closely with other similar organizations as also

the Ministry of Commerce and Industry among other things; draw up a plan of action for undertaking promotional efforts

viz. Buyer Seller Meets, Fairs and Exhibitions, which could be partly funded by the Central Government thereby helping

India�s EPO industry to attain the potential.

Members are hereby requested to exercise their franchise to join this Panel as additional member, or they may like to

change primary classification to this Panel. Members interested in joining this panel may send their request to �
