RESOLUTION New Delhi, the 8th October, 1949
No. 11-T.P.(P)(l)/49.—It has been suggested to Government from 'time to time during the last few years that if an Indian Commercial Corporation in set up to undertake the import and export trade of the country, in respect of certain selected commodities or certain selected destinations, it might advance the economic interests of the country. But the arguments on which this proposal has been supported have changed from time to time, and such, export study of the problem as has been made so far has not resulted in any unanimity of opinion as to the feasibility or soundness of the proposal. Devaluation of the Indian rupee has also brought this issue to the fore. The Government of India, therefore, consider that the proposal should be most carefully consider- ed with reference to present conditions and future trends before any final decision is taken They have accordingly decided to set up a Committee to examine the whole question with the following terms of reference:
"Whether having regard to present day conditions and future trends of India's International trade, it would be of advantage to set up a State-owned or State sponsored organisation for handling any sector of the foreign trade of the country. If so, what the structure of the organisation should be and what the field and scope of the activities of the organisation should be "
