Potential in Coimbatore - US/USA/America eyes huge trade opportunity in Coimbatore, Tier-II and Tier-III cities in India
MADURAI: The United States would focus on tier II and III cities in India for increasing trade as they offer huge business potential, US Commercial Consul for South India Aileen Nandi has said.
"There is huge potential for trade in India in Tier II and Tier III cities and the US Commercial Services (USCS) in India will focus on them," she said at an interaction with members of Coimbatore District Tiny and Small Scale Industries Association here last evening.
India's exports to the US stand at USD 21 billion per annum while it imports USD 16 billion worth goods from the country, Nandi said, adding that the Indian market was growing at a faster pace.
While textile sector and jewellery form majority of Indian goods headed to the US, aircraft components and medical equipment were most bought items from the America, she said.
She said the US trade was now centered around metros like Delhi and Mumbai, but this would change in due course with the efforts taken by the USCS wherein focus would be given to other cities too.
Overall, the potential for doing business with India was high, though as of now the country stood 13th among business partners of the US, she said.
On import duty, she said USCS had requested the Indian Government to reduce the duty on various products. "At present for any company, the import duty costs around 28 per cent of the product cost and we are working towards bringing it down as Indian market is price sensitive."
On other target areas of USCS, she said it also focussed on student exchange programmes and partnership with educational institutions.
Over the years, the number of Indian students in the US had been surpassed by Chinese students. USCS would work towards taking India back to number one position in this area.
She said energy efficiency was a major area in which her department was focussing in Tamil Nadu. It had been advising on alternative energy solutions, including solar power.
Manufacturers should come up with specific products they would be able to supply when it comes to bilateral trade. The US companies were interested in investing in rubber industries. A delegation in this regard would take part in Rubber India Fair to be held in Chennai next month, she said.
Nandi also said the US Secretary of Commerce would visit India in February acompanied by 74 major US companies. Responding to a request from the Tamil Nadu Chamber of Commerce and Industry, she assured to help if a delegation wanted to visit US to explore opportunities in the US market.

A new outlook of Coimbatore International Airport's utility
After many news broadcasts and little delays, at last Coimbatore International Airport is inaugurated and opened recently.
Now, what?
How do we have the Airport functioning and useful!? Coimbatore Airport will function as international airport, only when international flights come in and go out of Coimbatore Airport. Why there is no news on that? Here is the reason -
Flight operators were complaining that Customs Checking Operation division has to be opened in Coimbatore Airport, then only International flights can operate. When asked with the Customs operations, they are telling International Flights has to operate then only Customs can be started.
Having this situation, there had been discussions between officers and now conclusions are made lately that in a month's time flights will operate. Basically, in 2 weeks Customs will start it seems (Government's message), and automatically international flights would start working in another 2 weeks (assumption).
In one month - Coimbatore to Colombo will be operated by Srilanka Airlines, Air India Express; Coimbatore To Dubai will be operated by Air Arabia; Coimbatore to Singapore will be operated by Air Asia. Air Lanka will operate from Colombo to Europe and America.
Air Lanka has decided to provide flights from Colombo to all across the world, which means flights are connected from Coimbatore to all around the world!!
There are numerous advantages of Coimbatore International Airport and flights -
Every time, people from Southern districts have to go to Chennai to fly out of the country. Now, it is a great step that people from Southern districts can fly from Coimbatore to anywhere in the world, directly from Coimbatore.
As on date - people travelling from Chennai to all south asian countries are most of them are from southern districts of Tamil Nadu. Almost 70% are from Coimbatore and southern districts. With the Coimbatore international airport, people can directly fly to and fro Coimbatore to anywhere in the world.
Also, all the tourists from Tamil Nadu can go from Coimbatore directly to anywhere in the world - which helps them with lesser travel and also lesser cost for the trip.
Also, the international tourists from Asian countries who visit Kanyakumari, Meenakshi Amman Temple, Coutrallam etc., can come to Coimbatore directly, instead of coming to Chennai and then coming to Coimbatore in different modes of transports!
Great job by the Government!!! We at Coimbatore247.com thank the government for Coimbatore's International Airport!!!! Great step and this is going to change Coimbatore for good! First step haan!
