of the sound
macro-economic fundamentals it has built over the
years. As economy after economy crumbled in the
global economic crisis, India stood firm and steady on
its growth path. A few years earlier, we could not have
believed that 7% growth would be maintained during
the worst global economic crisis in 80 years! It was a
rich and multifaceted experience to lead CII during
this tumultuous year.
As India successfully managed the largest-ever
exercise in democracy, the re-elected government
reiterated the theme of inclusive growth. The first
priority was to stabilize the economy through stimulus
measures and monetary management. Exports and
MSMEs were given special attention. Aggressive
measures were taken to pump liquidity into the
markets, compensate for plunging overseas demand
and boost domestic consumption.
As manufacturing and exports growth returned to
positive territory, despite a poor monsoon, India attracted
global attention for its robust recovery. Through the
slowdown, CII worked closely with the Government and
the RBI, to ensure that suitable stimulus measures were
opportunely announced for industry.
Our theme this year stressed on
and Stabilisation of the
economy was on top of our agenda, supported by
attention to infrastructure to alleviate India's
competitive disadvantage. New rules and laws for
companies also placed governance centrestage. Other
areas of focus were agriculture, internal security and
membership services, especially for MSMEs. These,
plus the usual momentum of activities, were coordinated
by 25 Councils, 55 Committees and 3 Missions.
CII interacted closely with the new government and
received a warm response for its initiatives and
suggestions. Many of our found
place in the full Budget and the new Foreign Trade
Policy. Our suggestions for the proposed Company Law,
the draft Direct Tax Code and the Goods and Services
Tax drew the government's attention.
This year, CII brought out the report of the
which outlined measures for
listed companies to adopt voluntarily to further improve
the standards of governance in Corporate India.
Besides policy recommendations on various issues, CII
accompanied the Commerce and Industry Minister,
Mr Anand Sharma, on many of his as WTO
negotiations were reprised. We also set up a task force
with the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways and
arranged overseas investor meets with Minister Kamal Nath.
Mr Kapil Sibal, Minister for Human Resource Development,
launched the CII-BESU Industrial Research, Innovation and
HRD Center in West Bengal. The Skills Development
Mission is gaining momentum.
A CII delegation traveled to Copenhagen for the Summit
on Climate Change, even as Indian business is becoming a
leader in green buildings and renewable energy.
Continuing our CII
accompanied the Prime Minister on his landmark visit
to USA. The annual mission to USA took place soon
after President Obama took charge. The Singapore
mission highlighted the India ASEAN FTA, while
focused missions visited USA, Israel, Egypt, Oman,
Sweden and Saudi Arabia, among other countries. We
also met with the Presidents of Bangladesh, Germany
and Korea, and the Prime Minister of Malaysia.
The annual India Economic Summit celebrated
25 years of partnership between the World Economic
Forum and CII, and drew over 800 participants from
across the globe. The Partnership Summit, held in
Chennai, was addressed by 25 overseas ministers. The
India Africa Project Partnership was held for the sixth
time to great success, and the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas
brought together 1300 overseas Indians. Among other

CII met the Prime Minister along with the

issues facing MSMEs, and presented a detailed set of
recommendations for the development of this sector.
I cannot stress enough how crucial it is to the
overall inclusive growth agenda for industry to integrate

officially undertaking the formulation of a National
Manufacturing Policy, based on our recommendations.
We hope this proposed policy will help industry
overcome the various hurdles that constrain growth.
Mr Tarun Das retired as Chief Mentor this year, after
over four decades of dedicated service to CII. I would
like to acknowledge the immense role he played in
steering CII to its present position. We wish him all the
best and will continue to seek his advice
I am immensely grateful to my colleagues in the
National Council, the chairs of the many councils and
committees, and the Council of Past Presidents for all their
support and hard work during this complex year. Without
their active participation and generous time, CII would not
have been able to maintain its pace of activity. I would
particularly like to express appreciation for Mr Hari Bhartia's
solid support on numerous occasions and fronts.
As my Presidential term ends, I am pleased to note
that the economy is on a stronger wicket. From next
year onwards, we can envisage a return to the
high-growth trajectory. Industry has a major role to
play in India's growth effort and must take the lead in
driving inclusive development.

WHEN I STARTED
policy
my term, the world economy was
in doldrums. Global output had contracted by 2.3%
for the first time since the great Depression,
prompting the worst-ever global economic crisis.
World trade and output are still in the recovery
phase. But I am glad that India seems to have come
out fairly well from the slowdown.
A variety of stimulus packages were put in place
starting from the second half of 2008-09, in the
Interim Budget and again, in the main Budget. By Q2,
the economy showed signs of turning, and in the
2009-10 financial year, India’s GDP expanded by 6.7%.
Various economic indicators have been on the upside,
confirming that the pace of recovery has been
stronger than expected.
Industrial Production growth has turned around,
accelerating to 16.7% YoY in January 2010 compared to
a trough of -0.2% in December 2008. This rebound has
been driven largely by a sharp acceleration in domestic
demand, even though exports are improving, albeit
gradually. The RBI’s aggressive monetary policy
measures are also beginning to gain traction and as a
result, the cost of borrowing is now close to all-time
lows. The RBI’s Financial Stability Report noted that
more Indian banks are healthy and can withstand
unexpected levels of stress. Strong growth was
experienced in consumer durables and automotives, as
well as in capital goods and intermediate goods.
However, the stagnation in consumer non-durables
indicates that industrial revival is yet to be broad based.

strategic issues of national importance with the

The CII
regularly interacted with policy-makers and took
initiatives to revamp underperforming sectors. CII and
BCG brought out a joint report on the way forward for
the manufacturing sector in India, identifying
aspirations, potential roadblocks, opportunities and
imperatives for the development of this sector.
Exports from India are recovering rapidly, and in Q4
2009, rose by 6%, ending the negative spell. CII provided
inputs for the and, in particular,
recommended reducing transaction costs that render
Indian goods uncompetitive in the global market.

DURING 2009-10, CII set out with an agenda of
translating the vision of India@75 into action.
Under the focus was
towards building an institutional framework for
industry to get and stay involved in the
development of cities. Workshops on industry-led
models of urban governance were held in
Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Chandigarh, Gurgaon,
Pune, Kolhapur and Madurai. A national
workshop is also contemplated along with the
Planning Commission.
PricewaterhouseCoopers Pvt. Ltd. collaborated
as the knowledge partner and the chosen focus
areas were Inclusive Urbanisation, Skill
Development and Sustainability.

Polic

CII’s work on economic policy and taxation during the year focused
mainly on suggesting measures to help economic recovery from
the most severe recession in recent global history. Engaging
regularly with the government and RBI on policy related issues, CII
played a proactive role in speeding the recovery process.
ECONOMIC POLICY AND TAXATION
CII TOOK A LEADERSHIP ROLE in representing the
views and suggestions of industry to the
government and the RBI to help reverse the
deepening slowdown during the global financial
crisis. This involved comprehensive and sustained
policy advocacy to the government on monetary
and fiscal issues. A large number of measures
suggested by CII found resonance in policies that
were aimed at tackling the slowdown.
Once the economy started exhibiting signs of
bottoming out in the second quarter of last year,
the challenge was to sustain and accelerate the
recovery momentum. By monitoring industry and
the economy closely, and identifying emerging
concerns, CII has been active in ensuring a faster
pace of economic recovery. Our pre-Budget
memorandum 2010-11 stressed on continuation
of fiscal stimuli until the economy returned to
self sustainable growth momentum,
accompanied by a sharp reduction in fiscal
deficit. In line with these broad suggestions,
Budget 2010-11 announced an extension of most
fiscal stimulus measures along with substantial
reduction in fiscal deficit for the current year. CII
has also been advocating a soft monetary policy
until the economy recovers completely. RBI has
kept in mind industry concerns while framing
monetary tightening policies.
Besides helping the economy march back to
recovery, CII’s policy work on economy and
taxation last year also encompassed the Direct
Taxes Code (DTC) and Goods and Services Tax
(GST). A comprehensive memorandum
covering broad recommendations of industry
on the draft DTC was submitted to the
government. In addition, we organised

implementation guidelines of the Competition
Commission of India with respect to regulation

Detailed comments and suggestions on the

Parliamentary Standing Committee on
Finance and the Ministry of Corporate Affairs

2009-10 WAS A VERY eventful year for India’s
external sector. The precipitous fall in India’s
exports demand, which began during the latter
part of 2008-09, continued until October 2009.
This sharp drop brought about a rethink among
policy makers, about India’s globalisation
strategy and the new line of thinking shifted
towards diversification of India’s exports market
and exports basket.
The Foreign Trade Policy, announced in August
2009, had imprints of this new line of thinking. In
an attempt to arrest the exports slowdown, the
Government announced the addition of 26 new
countries under the Focus Markets scheme and
increased incentives for exports to the emerging
markets of Africa and Latin America.
in an interaction with CII
members post the announcement of the Foreign
Trade Policy, described the expansion of the

formulation of various policies related to design,
development and production, procurement
procedures, offset policy and exports of Defence
products. We represent Indian Industry on
various committees and during bilateral/
government to government meetings to present
the industry perspective on various policy and
procedural issues.
This year, the committee focused on pending
issues like FDI in defence, integrated project
management teams for Make projects, and
D e f e n c e & A e r o s p a c edefence offsets. A defence sub-committee on

'Turning Crisis into Opportunity: Role of
Governance and Reform’ to mark its
in March 2009 in New Delhi. Speakers
from across the spectrum, while acknowledging
the depth and gravity of the prevailing global
economic crisis, felt that challenges could indeed
be converted into opportunities supported by
timely reforms and strong governance.
Dr D Subbarao, Governor, RBI, felt that there
were enough reasons for optimism of revival in
India, based on strong growth fundamentals, but
warned that painful adjustments were inevitable.
Indian industry must think long-term to emerge
competitive through the slowdown, advised
Dr Montek Singh Ahluwalia, Deputy Chairman,
Planning Commission. He suggested that the new
government should try to maintain India’s growth
performance with a well-calibrated economic
policy to minimise pain and ease recovery.
Dr Arvind Virmani, Chief Economic Advisor,

still faster on market reforms, and fiscal policy has

Our flagship event – the Quality Summit – was held
in New Delhi in December 2009. Mr. Arun Maira,
Member, Planning Commission, inaugurating the

freedom and powers to play a proactive role in the
present competitive and challenging environment.
In his keynote address, Mr. K N Shenoy,
Chairman, CII-IQ cautioned against undisciplined
growth, overlooking of risk, grasping for salvation
and capitulation to irrelevance and debt. Over 400
industry captains, domain experts and quality
professionals joined the deliberations to chart
out a road map for a resurgent India.
Mr. Shashi Tharoor, then Minister of State for
External Affairs, delivered the valedictory address.

New Product Development including a new
product for the Bottom of the Pyramid
(Chotu Kool)
New Businesses (one single company got new
business of Rs.120 million per annum)
New Business Processes leading to reduction
in manufacturing costs (one company saved
over Rs 6 crores in 6 months)
Personal Transformation

The findings of our operational research survey
were fed into the
country paper presented at the Global WHO TB
meeting on ’Business Engagement in TB and
TB/HIV Care and Control‘ in October 2009 in
Geneva. CII collated information on the efforts
and contributions by the business sector to TB
and HIV associated TB care and control. A
workplace self-assessment tool has been
designed for companies to evaluate their
responses to TB and HIV epidemics.
This year, 5 January 2010 was earmarked as
‘Goodwill Day’ for the Physically Challenged at
the Auto Expo 2010. CII organized the visit of
about 120 physically challenged persons from
four institutes: the Akshar Paristhan School,
Indian Spinal Injuries, SOS Village and Vocational
Rehabilitation Centre for the Handicapped.
Several other physically challenged persons also
visited the Expo independently.
The visit enabled the participants to interact
with the exhibitors and create awareness of their
needs among industry. They discussed issues
regarding introducing disabled friendly cars with
Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai and Tata Motors.
The Rajiv Gandhi Foundation started the
Motorized Vehicle Scheme for the Disabled in
1992, under which a motorized vehicle specially
designed to suit the needs of people with
physical disability of the lower limbs is awarded
to select individuals across the country. Six CII
member organizations donated such vehicles

Our initiatives for rural water resource management
target different water typologies such as hard rock
areas, groundwater regimes, drought prone areas,
high rainfall areas, coastal regions, backward tribal
areas, etc. to evolve methodologies for assessing
sustainability and capability building of local
communities for equitable and sustainable water
management. Cropping choices and improved
irrigation and crop management are an integral part
of these initiatives. Assessing energy gaps in the
availability of public supply of water for agriculture
and addressing these gaps through area level
management systems and renewable energy is a
major focus area.
CII has forged partnerships with organisations
like the Gram Gourav Pratisthan for community
mobilization and institutions building, Advanced
Centre for Water Resource Development and
Management( ) for groundwater
hydrogeology and management models, and
International Crop Research Institute for Semi
ACWADAM
Arid Tropics ( ) for watershed based
agricultural systems. In partnership with these
organisations, we offer a comprehensive package
for land and water management in rural areas.
Some on-going projects include

IN 2009-10, THE INDIA Brand Equity Foundation
(IBEF) augmented and strengthened its
Knowledge Centre and connected with larger
business audiences across the globe.
Besides the regular updation of state and
sectoral reports, IBEF expanded its repertoire
with the publication of
a strategic study
Contribution of Indian
Industry to the US Economy,
that showcases the sinews of Brand India in a
globalised world. Released by Mr Anand Sharma,
Minister of Commerce and Industry, this was the
second in a series of contribution studies
Consistent Search Engine Optimisation
(SEO) efforts through the year resulted in
being ranked number one on
and as well as by
keyword search for ‘Brand India’, ‘Healthcare’,
‘Retail’, ‘Telecom’, etc. Moreover, SEO efforts
pushed IBEF sectoral reports/PPTs to the
forefront for searches on Indian industry
sectors. The focus was on contemporising the
IBEF website to include social media and new
media tools.
Continuing to showcase the opportunity and
progress consistently being made by India, IBEF
added a new film to its existing suite,
which was launched at the CII
Partnership Summit 2010. Further, the
knowledge centre brought out five issues of our
bi-monthly magazine, this year,
covering subjects such as the ongoing e-
commerce revolution in India, the largely
untapped rural Indian market, and the
burgeoning insurance sector. IBEF also launched
easily downloadable e-version of India Now, in
Spanish, French and Chinese this year, to reach
out to larger business audiences.
IBEF entered the realm of sectoral branding

knowledge partner by contributing its India
business kits. The more notable of these were
the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas (where IBEF also set
up a booth to showcase Brand India) the CII
Partnership Summit, the India Economic
Summit, the PanIIT Alumni Meet, the Kellogg
India Business Conference and the Doing
Business with India conference held in South
Africa. Also, in conjunction with the conference,
IBEF facilitated the visit of Ms Mathabo le Roux,
trade and industry editor at Business Day, under
its Experience India programme. Ms Roux’s visit
resulted in a special, four-page feature on India
published to coincide with the conference.
The Experience India programme also
facilitated interactions on the Indian economy for
Slovenian MPs, a Mexican business delegation
and students from INSEAD, Harvard Business

Deakin University.
On the global stage, IBEF led the ‘India

of the World Economic Forum in Davos in
January 2010, through strategic advertising, the
India Now, a perspective magazine and business
information kits.
Impressively, IBEF also effected a statutory
