STATEMENT REFFERED TO IN REPLY TO PARTS (a) to (e) OF LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION No.756 TO BE ANSWERED ON 17th May, 2002 REGARGING PLAN TO BOOST EXPORT
a) to e) In the 10th Five Year plan (2002-2007) , a total of Rs 4300cr has been allocated to Department of Commerce for various infrastructural schemes.The break up is placed at ANNEXURE-I. Out of this Rs. 4,300 crore , Rs. 1,625 crore has been alloted for assistance to States for development of infrastructure for increase of export under a new sheme named Assistance to States for Developing Export Infrastructure and Allied Activities. Earlier the responsibility for promotion of exports and creating the necessary infrastructure had largely been undertaken by the Central Government, but in the new scheme the states would also be involved in the export effort. Three earlier schemes viz. Critical Infrastructure Balance Scheme, Export Promotion Industrial Parks Scheme and Export Promotion Zones Scheme have been merged with the new scheme. The details of the Assistance to States for Developing Export Infrastructure and Allied Activities Scheme is available at Ministry of Commerce & Industry ( Department of Commerce)web site `http://commin.nic.in/doc`. As the Scheme is meant for development of infrastructure, it is not possible to quantify the likely increase in export.
