3. Proposal from Karnataka Government for Machine Tool Park (MTP) under IIIF component of the Scheme:-
3.1 A presentation on Machine Tool Park was made by Mrs. K. Ratnaprabha, Additional Chief
Secretary, Government of Karnataka. It was emphasized that MTP would be a world-class facility
and the first-ever machine tool park in the country. The park would have specifications akin to the
next door Japanese Park in National Investment and Manufacturing Zone (NIMZ). The Park would
be set up in around 500 acres of land, 99% of which is already in possession, costing about Rs 191
crore & environment clearance has been obtained. Interaction with Indian Machine Tool
Manufacturers Association (IMTMA) members has brought out the feasibility of selling all the 117
plots measuring 0.5 acre to 5 acres. The focus will be on having the entire value chain of industries
and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME)s relating to the machine tool sector being
present in the MTP. The industrial policy of the state Govt will be adopted for allocation of plots
and Start-ups will be given due importance in the scheme of things. Apex Committee was requested
to consider CEFC for testing facilities to also come up in the MTP so that it serves as a one stop
shop for the industry.
3.2 The total project outlay is Rs.421 crore, including land valued at Rs. 191.68 crore and
infrastructure of Rs. 229.32 crore. GoI grant sought is Rs.125 crore which is less than 80% limit of
the Project cost (excluding land and building). As per the notification under the scheme, Central
assistance envisaged is to be extended for plant and machinery, human resources but not for
vehicles, greenery, roads, land and building. However, since road and boundary walls within the
park are considered eligible for Common Infrastructure Facilities, the same may be included for the
purpose of grant.
3
As regards affordability of SMEs it was mentioned that 177 plots are proposed to be allotted to
industry in the Machine Tool Park at a pre DHI grant at a tentative price of Rs. 1.25 crores per acre.
After the grant per acre cost is expected to come down by about Rs.0.38 crores.
3.3 It was emphasised by the Committee that the facilities in the park should be world class
and should be developed in consultation with the Industry. IMTMA requested for “Single Window
Clearance Facility” to make it easier for investor and world class in true sense. It was observed by
AS &FA that proposal has undergone significant improvement since the last time when it was
brought up in the Apex Committee Meeting wherein IMTMA was implementing the same and land
was yet to be acquired from the Government of Karnataka (GoK). He stressed that prime objective
of GoI grant to the Project is to ensure that the benefits of Machine Tool Park reaches the domestic
Machine Tools Industry, especially those belonging to SME category. The need to catalyse
innovation and start ups through this Scheme intervention was emphasised. The GoI grant should
translate into subsidy for the industry and the benefit of the same should be passed on to the
industry by Karnataka Government. It was stressed that the subsidy should be inversely
proportional to the size of the units & the DHI grant should result in subsidising the infrastructural
costs (not for land & building, as per the scheme provisions).
3.4 It was noted that DHI funding will result in reduced cost of manufacture mainly due to
world class industrial infrastructure and clustering together of the entire manufacturing value chain
at one location. This is as per the Scheme objective & it was emphasised by the Additional Chief
Secretary, GoK and IMTMA that the Park will help the industry to double the turnover in five
years, apart from enhancing employment opportunities.
3.5 The issue of formation of an Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) under the scheme was raised,
which was agreed to by the Karnataka Government. The SPV is to be formed as a Not for profit
Company/ society/ Trust with representation from DHI and IMTMA. AS&FA pointed out that
Utilization Certificate for the Project should reflect the ‘passing of benefits’ to SMEs as well as
efforts made to incubate innovation and start ups. The grant would be released by DHI in the ratio
of 80:20, excluding the cost of land &building, as stipulated in the scheme. Committee emphasised
that the allotment of land has to be done in a fair and transparent manner and the land allotment
4
should take care of judicious distribution to MSMEs/ Start ups and the entire manufacturing chain
of the Machine tools units.
3.6 The Committee ‘in principle’ approved the proposal of Karnataka Government for a
grant of Rs 125 crore for setting up a machine tool park at Tumkur subject to formation of
SPV & linking release of funds to milestones. Government of Karnataka would ensure
construction and management of industrial infrastructure of world class nature to the
satisfaction of the Government of India and ensure compliance of the observations and
suggestions of the Committee, as mentioned above. A suitable MOU would be proposed by
GOK and finalised in consultation with DHI and industry association.
4. Proposal of engaging Global Innovation and Technology Alliance (GITA) for promoting, marketing and implementation of TAFP component of the Scheme:-
4.1 Representatives of GITA made a presentation and informed the background of GITA which
was incorporated as a not for profit joint venture entity between DST (49%) and CII (51%). The
main objective of GITA, inter-alia, includes developing 2 + 2 and other DST programmes for
international technology transfers with the Industry, managing international science and technology
programmes, providing an effective institutional mechanism for providing end to end enabling
services and support for the emergence of an innovation ecosystem with demand pull for
technology and innovation driven enterprises, building capacities in industry and technology start-
ups. In the last four years of its existence, they have developed a number of proposals between
Indian and foreign industries / research organizations. Four success stories have been created. They
have created cadre, systems and processes to take up the job in a result oriented, transparent and
non-controversial manner. This has led to their services being utilized by other Departments
including DIPP for its TAFP recently. Their present proposal is in line with approval granted to it
by DIPP for operationalising TAFP. Within a short period of two months, they have been able to
generate about 15 proposals, database, online system and dedicated cadre of experts. Although
DIPP TAFP proposals are much smaller in size and grants, but the basic methodology will remain
the same.
4.2 Committee was informed that an allotment of Rs 50 crore for targeted ten technology
acquisitions has been made under the TAFP component of the Scheme. Committee was informed
5
that despite publicity; no proposal from any industry in private sector has been received under
TAFP Component of the Scheme. So far only two proposals have been received from HMT
Machine Tools which is a Public Sector company.
4.3 The services to be provided by GITA would include programme preparation, promotion,
proposal evaluation, awarding and contracting, monitoring and facilitating release of fund. They
would facilitate one to one dialogue, handhold and provide the matchmaking services to the
MSMEs, developing a panel of subject experts for evaluating each proposal, forming a ‘knowledge
grid’ and will act as ‘matchmaker’ between the industry and the technology provider/ applied
research laboratories/ Institutions. GITA would develop an online platform/ marketplace where the
dialogue could take place between seekers and providers of technology. To summarize, GITA will
market the TAFP component of the Scheme, invite proposals through RFPs, assess the proposals
and carry out due diligence for the TAFP proposal (before referring a proposal to the Screening
Committee) resulting in generation of some successful proposals under the scheme. The entire
database and knowledge grid so created, will be provided to DHI.
4.4 GITA has requested for grant of Rs. 96 lakhs as their management fees and Rs.136 lakhs as
promotional expenses. Total amount, requested by GITA is Rs.2.32 crore which is more than 4.5%
of the allocation of Rs.50 crore under TAFP component. Under the scheme 7.26 crores are allotted
under the head of administrative expense (limited to 1.25% of the total GoI grant envisaged for the
entire Scheme).
4.5 On the issue of whether the grant to the successful applicant be routed directly by DHI to
applicant or through GITA, Chairman suggested that the model of DIPP could be looked at and may
be followed.
4.6 Chairman mentioned that though GITA has been asked to focus on Internet of Things,
industrial energy efficiency through equipment and additive manufacturing in the field of CG
Sector, any proposal received on subjects outside the focus areas but otherwise found to be eligible
as per Scheme guidelines on TAFP, should be facilitated and handled by GITA.
4.7 The Committee, ‘in principle’ approved the engagement of GITA for promoting,
marketing and implementation of TAFP component of the Scheme on financial terms as
6
applied for (DHI grant towards GITA management fees of Rs 96 lakhs and Rs 136 lakhs
towards promotional activities, subject to actual. The approval was accorded, subject to
milestones specifically listed and approved in the MOU, to be signed subsequently between
DHI and GITA. The activities to be undertaken by GITA would include but not be limited to
the activities listed above and the proposal submitted by GITA. DHI may ask GITA to take
any other action, as deemed fit, for promoting, marketing and implementation of TAFP
component of the Scheme.
5. Proposal of PSG College of Technology for development of 3 welding technologies (welding automation, intelligent welding power supply and welding consumables) under CoE component of the Scheme
5.1 Representative from PSG Institute of Technology made their presentation for setting up a
Centre of Excellence in the field of Welding technology. They presented their proposal for

A Summary Sheet of industry/technology wise breakup is placed at Annexure.
5.2 PSG confirmed that they have modified their proposal, as per the suggestions of the Apex
Committee in its first meeting wherein the proposal was considered initially and was approved
subject to elimination of duplication of work with Welding Research Institute (WRI),
Tiruchirapalli, increasing the user industries and reducing the GoI grant. It was clarified by PSG
that all review inputs given by expert reviewer have been incorporated in the revised proposal.
Budget has also been revised taking into account the review suggestions. Duplication issues with
WRI have been taken care of. PSG informed that it already has an agreement with WRI to share its
facility for evaluation of the technology propose to be developed by PSG. Further, PSG has
submitted a list of user industries for whom this technology will be beneficial. Project cost has been
reduced from their last proposal to internal scrutiny group from 34.40 crores to 26.70 crores &
DHI’s contribution sought is 21.10 crores.
5.3 It was clarified that the promoter institute, PSG College of Technology, is a government
aided institution and Contributions from PSG / industries will be in the form of cash. This will be
over and above the building and infrastructure facilities to be provided by the PSG. Sustainability of
the centre was discussed and it was clarified that after three years the center will be sustained
through funding from PSG and revenue generated through different programmes like testing &
consultancy and skill development programmes. Appropriate mechanism will be devised for
periodical review of the Project. Committee was of the opinion that research in welding is a
“required area” for capital goods industries and all the three technologies incorporated in the
proposal are important for the welding industry. It was observed that the Institute has requisite
manpower, facility and technology to initiate the Project.
8
5.4 PSG Institute of Technology mentioned that they envisage 33% growth in Asia Pacific
regions, in industries where welding technologies will find application(s). By 2019, PSG will be
able to contribute about Rs. 35 crore by way of import substitution. It was stated that the above
COE would be housed in a separate building and maintain its distinct character.
5.5 The Committee ‘in principle’ approved the proposal of PSG College of Technology for
development of 3 welding technologies (welding automation, intelligent welding power supply
and welding consumables) under CoE component of the Scheme at a budgetary support of
21.1 crores.
6. Proposal of HMT under Technology Acquisition Fund Programme (TAFP) component of the Scheme
HMT has submitted two proposals on development of technologies for consideration under above
scheme and gave presentation on both the technologies:
(i) Four Guideway CNC lathe by HMT Machine Tools Ltd., Bangalore
(ii) Turning Mill Centre SBCNC 30 TMY by HMT Machine Tools Ltd., Kalamassery.
6.1 Four Guideway 20 Ton CNC lathe design validation:-The proposed development is for a
four guideway CNC lathe with admit between centers at 6m and load capacity of 15 tons (without
steady) and 20 Tons with steadies. It was brought out that heavy duty lathes of above class are
useful to meet the demands of a wide range of sectors such as power, heavy vehicles, rail, ship
building, wind, oil sector, etc. The project report by HMT has identified a good market demand for
this machinery both in India and abroad. They also stated that they have orders from PSUs/ OFB
etc. Industry is largely dependent on imports to meet requirement of such machinery. The estimated
imports are in the range of Rs 100 –200 crore every year for lathes between 20 tons to 80 tons. The
product is an import substitute and is of strategic importance to the country. When made by HMT, it
will be 30 – 40% cheaper than the imported machines. Critical technologies include structural
elements like headstock & bed with optimized static, dynamic & thermal properties.
6.2 Under the proposal, HMT Machine Tools will develop the designs and fabricate the
prototype, while Fraunhofer Society- a leading applied German applied research organization of
global repute, will send two experts for design validation through simulation as well as analysis of
9
prototype testing. The project cost is Rs 4.4 crore; DHI grant sought is Rs 1.1 crore and grant to
Fraunhofer is Rs 42.24 lakh. They have projected breakeven in three years and sale of 30 machines.
6.3 Turning Mill Centre SBCNC 30 TMY – C Axis Design: The proposed development is
for a Turning Mill Centre with C-axis on main spindle having an accuracy of ±3 arc sec, a
significant upgrade from existing product specification of 45 arc sec. Turn mill centers with high
accuracy C-axis on main spindle are essential to the aerospace and precision component industry.
HAL has recently floated a tender with these high accuracy requirements. Though there are quite a
few indigenous manufacturers of turn mill centers, industries have to depend on imported
technology / machinery to meet the very high order of accuracy targeted in this proposal. Critical
technologies include drive design for optimum stiffness & dynamics towards realizing high
accuracy and reliability of the C-axis main spindle. The estimated project cost of Rs 1.528 crore
includes payment of Rs 38.2 lakhs to Fraunhofer for C –axis designs and validation. Rest is for
prototype fabrication by HMT Machine Tools. DHI grant requested is Rs 43.61 lacks. HMT
Machine Tools will not only gain the critical and difficult technology of no backlash C axis drive,
but also capabilities to design higher specs in future. They have projected breakeven in three years
and sale of 8 machines.
6.4 Committee opined that HMT Machine Tools with their previous track record in machine
tools has the capability and infrastructure to develop this machine with the technology support of
Fraunhofer for the critical technologies. Committee noted the provision in the Gazette Notification
regarding TAFP Component with reference to routing of fund through R&D organisation. It was
observed that the Department of Heavy Industry has signed an MoU with Fraunhofer Society of
Germany on technology collaboration who is actively involved in both the TAFP projects of HMT
Machine Tools. The two TAFP proposals under consideration are joint development exercises
where both HMT Machine Tools Limited and Fraunhofer are contributing. Since Fraunhofer is a
globally reputed applied R&D organization such a requirement of routing of fund through R&D
organisation may not be applicable. Moreover, HMT itself undertakes R&D work and can be
considered as R&D Organisation for the purpose of TAFP. Need for proper documentation and man
power training with Fraunhofer was stressed upon by the members. Detailed documentation and
visual recording of the projects may be kept with HMT Machine Tools to preserve institutional
memory. Commitment of HMT board, for commitment of money towards the project, needs to be
10
ensured. Grant disbursal is to be as per the provisions of the scheme. HMT agreed to share the IPR
as per the IPR Policy already finalized by the Apex Committee.
6.5 The committee ‘in principle’ approved both the proposals of HMT under Technology
Acquisition Fund Programme (TAFP) component of the Scheme with grant of Rs 1.1 crore
for technology relating to 20 Ton CNC Lathe design validation support by Fraunhofer and
DHI grant of Rs 38.20 lacs for technology relating to C Axis design & validation support by
Fraunhofer while ensuring compliance of the observations and suggestions of the committee,
as mentioned above.
7. Proposal from Heavy Engineering Corporation (HEC) for setting up high Tech Training Centre with Russian trainees with grant from DHI CG Scheme.
7.1 CMD, HEC made a presentation on the proposal. As a background he mentioned that HEC
is pioneer in the country in the field of manufacturing heavy Engineering equipment for power,
energy, mining, steel sectors. Even today, in few areas HEC has a monopoly. HEC possesses some
of the world’s largest manufacturing equipment in forging, press and other heavy engineering, with
few parallels in the world. HEC was set up with USSR technology and assistance. After dismantling
of USSR and role reversal in India after 1991, HEC lost its edge to Indian private sector, but more
to imports. Now, DHI is drafting its modernization plan. The present proposal of setting up a
national high tech Centre for training practicing engineers from Indian manufacturing sector is a
logical extension of its overall modernization plan.
7.2 After several decades, HEC has once again successfully negotiated an integrated proposal
with Russian Government industrial R & D institute CNIITMASH. The proposal includes
technology transfer as well as setting up a training Centre for high purity steel making through
electro slag re-melting, welding technologies, gear box manufacturing and non destructive testing.
All are high tech, import substitute, closely held, strategic and high value technology. The proposed
national centre will address the skill requirements of Indian manufacturers from private sector as
well as PSUs. HEC also propose MoUs with stakeholder institutes for horizontal transfer of
knowledge. A total of 1350 persons will be trained in batches of 25 for nine modules spread over 3
years. Every external trainee will be charged Rs 6.5 lakh. 2-3 Russian experts will stay one month
or so at a time in rotation for six months for writing the course content and training engineers as
well as mentors. They will bring English translators with them. HEC has proposed to spend Rs 50
11
crore for the center, Rs 30 crore proposed as grant from DHI, will go to the Russian institute for
their knowledge transfer support in setting up & running the institute.
7.3 CMD clarified that both HEC engineers and private sector engineers are proposed to be
trained. AS & FA advised that the proposed facility to be developed at multiple locations and only
10% of seats should be for internal HEC candidates. A competitive exam needs to be held for
deciding the eligible candidates for training.
In order to address the apprehension that once the first batch of Russian trainers go away , not much
activity will happen, need for proper documentation and videography was stressed which would
help in institutionalizing the memory. AS & FA advised for improving upon the plan drawn up by
HEC and suggested that HEC should sign MoU with IITs etc for horizontal transfer of training
knowledge. CMD HEC informed of their efforts with NIFFT, IIT –Kharagpur, ISM-Dhanbad and
other institutions. HEC was advised to sign more MoUs with IIT –Roorkee, WRI, BHEL, HMT and
others to broaden the training process. SDO (SC),DHI was given the responsibility to prepare an
effective plan. AS& FA also suggested live and simultaneous video broadcast, webcast of the
training to MoU Institutes. AS & FA also enquired about per diem cost of expatriate and also the
bifurcation of the project cost. CMD, HEC was asked to provide detailed financial data. HEC
informed that they have already listed the prospective units for each of the training modules. The
first batch to be trained by the Russians may be exclusive to train the trainers/ mentors also from
private sector. CMD HEC added that the training will be of specialized nature which needs practical
demonstration for its success, therefore, HEC workshops will be the right place for the same. It was
further clarified that CNIITMASH has agreed for videography of the entire training proceedings &
the same will also be placed on web portal on commercial terms. CEFC will be self sustaining by
revenue generation from the course fees of trainees / sponsored candidates. Possibility of sharing
different facilities with institutions with whom MoU is being signed will to be explored.
7.4 Committee noted that the financial implication for GoI in respect of the Project cannot
exceed Rs. 30 crore which is further subject to available budget provision under CEFC component
of the Scheme [after taking into account financial commitment to CEFC of TECT at Pune (Rs.
26.17 crore) and HMT Machine Tools Training Centre (|Rs.0.77 crore) and overall budget of
Rs.48.96 crore]. In this regard, it was mentioned by the Chairman that these allocations are only
12
indicative and flexibility is needed in the interest of optimal utilisation of the various components of
the scheme. It was, however, felt that the issue needs to be brought up before the Review
Committee.
7.5 Apex Committee felt that there is a need for such training facilities in the strategic interest of
the nation. The training knowledge is also closely held and is not easily available. HEC has made a
good breakthrough in transfer of high tech and setting up training centre in collaboration with the
Russian Government industrial R & D institute. However, in order to derive maximum benefit,
broad basing of training knowledge both through Institutes as well as beneficiary Indian
manufacturers is required. For this better plan has to be prepared & implemented by HEC in
consultation with stakeholders. HEC also needs to form an SPV as per Scheme Guideline for CEFC
to be eligible to receive Grant in Aid under the Scheme. Commitment of HEC Board, for
commitment of money towards the project, needs to be ensured. DHI must take a lead in
preparation of the plan. Midway review and final impact analysis has to be done through
independent professional agency(ies).
7.6 The Committee in principle approved the grant of Rs 30 crore (subject to approval of
the review committee) subject to broad basing of the plan prepared under DHI guidance for
institutionalizing the training knowledge batches after batches. The plan to be made part of
the MoU with DHI with involvement of stakeholder institutes like IIT –Kharagpur, Roorkee
etc through MoU for horizontal transfer of training knowledge, MoU with beneficiary units
with Non Disclosure Agreement, mile stones specifying financial and training achievements
etc. as per the observations of the Committee mentioned above.
