FIEO President Mr. Ganesh Kumar Gupta has requested the new Lt. Governor of Delhi Mr. Tejendra Khanna to facilitate creating a separate fund for modernization and capacity building of small and medium enterprises in Delhi, which, according to him, would also reduce pollution level in the capital city. Addressing a ceremony organized by the Federation at Niryat Bhawan on 9 August to felicitate the Lt. Governor, Mr. Gupta also requested him to help setting up a multi-product Special Economic Zone in the capital so that the industries in and around Delhi could showcase their strength to the world and attract fresh overseas investments.

Earlier, while welcoming the Lt. Governor, the Northern Region Chairman of the Federation, Dr. R. K. Dhawan acquainted him with the problems suffered by Delhi based exporters in respect of VAT and sought its complete exemption for them. Speaking further, he suggested opening an export complex in the city on the lines of Delhi Emporium so that the exporters could display their products for tourists who come to Delhi from all over the world.

The Lt. Governor, during his address, asked the large number of exporters attending the ceremony to focus quality and earn premium in the global markets instead of relying on volumes alone.

Mr. Khanna, who has taken over as the Lt. Governor of Delhi for the second time, has served the offices of Chief Controller of Imports & Exports as well as Commerce Secretary in the past. He is said to have brought a paradigm shift in India’s foreign trade through simplifying the trade policy and making it business friendly.
