iCEMA eyes huge biz opportunity for CE industry
Addressing the audience including industry captains, think tanks, policy makers, and bureaucrats at the Indian Construction Equipment Manufacturers Association (iCEMA) conference held recently at the India Expo Centre in Greater Noida, President, Amit Gossain, in his address, said that things have started looking up in the country's equipment sector as 'Make in India Campaign' launched by the Central Government has drawn the attention of both domestic and global players engaged in equipment manufacturing and allied infrastructure activities. Adding to the momentum, he added, in yet another welcome move the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs has recently approved the long standing demand of iCEMA to set up a testing and certification centre for construction equipment and earthmoving machineries. In this connection, the Department of Heavy industries has played a pivotal role in the entire process of approval and that a detailed proposal to this effect has already been submitted by the industry body to the government, which has also cleared a sum of Rs. 400 crore for the proposed testing and certification centre.
