NOTIFICATION

Constitution of a Committee to prepare a list of Electrical equipments which are available indigenously or which would be available in the immediate future.
S.O. 1212.—The Government of India have decided to constitute a committee to compile a list of electrical equipment used for generation, transmission and distribution of electrical power which would be available for supply indigenously and where no imports would be necessary. Such a list is prepared to be includ- ed as an annexure to the Red Book for information and guidance of importers and would be brought upto date from time to time.
The need for such a list has arisen owing to the following reasons:—
(1) References are received frequently for import of items available indigen- ously on the ground that such items form part of a turnkey contract for a project and for which foreign exchange has already been made available and released.
(2) It is often claimed that part of the equipment is already imported and that indigenous equipment could not be matched with the imported parts on tech- nical grounds and that foreign suppliers would also refuse to give guarantee of performance of the equipment as a whole unless all the materials are. obtained from them. Even when an indigenous manufacturer is willing to guarantee his own products, the electricity authority concerned insists that the guarantee should be given for the equipment as a whole from one party only.
