Exporters from Telangana on Thursday sought a dedicated international
courier cargo clearance facility at the Hyderabad International Airport.
The
exporters also demanded notifiying a town for export excellence,
setting up of another Inland Container Depot, and a mega industrial park
of world class standards to boost exports from the state.
They made the demands during a round table discussion on understanding the challenges of exporters and the way forward.
Chief
Secretary Somesh Kumar asked the exporters to come out with suggestions
to boost exports in the state. He stated that the government would
take up all the issues raised by the exporters with the officials
concerned and try to resolve them.
He said that the state, under
the leadership of Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, has achieved
rapid progress in the last seven years since its formation.
The
government had proactively taken series of measures to increase
consumption in the state which has resulted in the state achieving
impressive growth on par with the pre-lockdown levels, he added.
Terming
exporters "partners of development", he assured them that the state
government would do everything possible to solve their problems as this
would bring buoyancy to the economy and expedite recovery in the
post-Covid era.
The government has set up an ambitious target to
bring 20 lakh acres under palm oil cultivation in the state. Special
focus is also being laid on increasing agricultural exports from the
state, he added.
Representatives of various export units thanked
the government for allowing production even during the lockdown period
which benefitted exporters.
Exporters, however, expressed concern
about container shortage which is effecting outbound shipments, and as a
result, hampering large-scale exports. They also raised the issue of
GST refund in respect of capital goods and asked the government to take
up with the Centre.
