| During
last five decades, EEPC has been playing a pivotal role in
increasing country’s engineering exports and as of date,
engineering exports have crossed US$ 20 billion in the year
2005-06 in comparison to US$ 10 million that was achieved
in the year 1956-57. Engineering exports have been registering
steady growth each year and has registered a growth of 33%
during 2006-07 over the previous year.
In view of the growing acceptance
of Indian engineering goods across new market spaces across
the globe, the growth trend has been very positive. Keeping
on the sustained momentum, the Council has fixed a target
of an annual average growth of 15% during next five years.
Council has already prepared a Medium Term Strategy Paper
to suggest various measures to be adopted by all concerned
viz. EEPC, Government and the exporting community for achieving
this growth. However, as in the past the main objective would
be not only to achieve but to surpass the target.
