- (c) whether the said target was achieved; and
- (d) if so, the details thereof and if not, the reasons  therefor?

## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF SHIPPING (SHRI PON. RADHAKRISHNAN)

- (a)&(b):Yes,  Madam.  Nearly 400-500  small and medium size ships in the entire plan period were expected to be built. The lndian Shipbuilders Association  (ISBA) had carried out an assessment of the growth trend of the industry and were of view that this industry could  grow  at a rate of more than 30% and the momentum could be maintained  for the next 10 years  to reach a level of Xlth Plan of 5 million  DWT order book. lt was expected that with the setting up of new shipyards on the anvil, extension of the subsidy  scheme through the Xlth Plan period,  and suitable  investment climate,  the industry would achieve  the targets of the 1  'trh  plan.
- (c) No, Madam.
- (d) There was a shipbuilding  subsidy  scheme  of Government  of lndia lrom 2eO2-2007, which provided  30% subsidy  to all lndian  shipyards  for construction  and delivery  of vessels.  This scheme had boosted the order book from 0.O2o/o in 2002 lo 1.24% of global  order share in 2007. This scheme was, however, not extended through the Xlth Plan period. Ship building is a cyclical industry and is dependent on demand of global as well as domestic shipping industry.  The recession  that started in 2009 as a result of the global  economic meltdown is still continuing  for the shipbuilding industry. The combined effect of global  recession and expiry of shipbuilding subsidy policy resulted in decline in the shipbuilding  order book  position.
