Saving more than ₹25 Crore Liability for a Packaging Material Company

Challenge

In 2012, a leading packaging material manufacturer obtained multiple EPCG licenses for setting up a new plant. However, due to a misunderstanding by the company in the license application process, all licenses carried an average export obligation condition, even though the company had not made any exports prior to the imports under these licenses.

As a result, the company was unable to close the licenses because it could not meet the average export obligation. The total liability arising from this issue exceeded ₹25 crore, putting the company under immense financial and compliance pressure.

Action

Conducted a detailed review of all EPCG licenses.
Identified and corrected the errors by amending the licenses appropriately.

The company faced multiple complex issues across its licenses, including:

Norms sanctioned lower than actual input loss

To ensure uninterrupted operations, the company also imported multiple capital goods and spare parts as buffers. Many of these spares were not installed within the stipulated time as they were not immediately required.

As a result, the company faced multiple policy-level issues in closing its EPCG licenses, including:

Long-drawn installation timelines

These challenges posed serious risks to timely license closure and potential financial liability.
