WHY THIS MARKET? India

12

• India is Queensland's fourth largest export destination with merchandise exports from Queensland valued at $6.1 billion or 11.4% of Queensland's total export value for 2011-12. The major export items from Queensland to India included coal and metalliferous ores, fertilisers, and vegetables and fruit.

• In addition to the strong demand for Queensland's natural resources, there is growing demand for Queensland goods and services with an increasing number of Queensland exporters securing business in India in the areas of mining equipment, technology & services (METS), environmental technologies, transport infrastructure, construction, education & training, agribusiness, creative industries, aviation and tourism.

• Long term, export opportunities for Queensland companies are set to increase with India currently the world's second fastest growing major economy and second most populous nation, projected to become the world's third largest economy overall after the U.S. and China by 2025. This economic growth will spur a rapid rise in India's household disposable incomes leading to a dramatic increase in consumption. The bulk of this consumption will be attributable to India's new middle class which is anticipated to grow from a number of 50 million in 2005 to 583 million by 2025.

• Coupled with India's economic growth is a rapidly increasing demand for energy. Unable to produce enough coal to satisfy demand for energy and steel domestically, India is a net importer of coal prompting Indian companies to pursue international investment in energy and resources projects. As a result, Queensland has received a substantial increase in Indian inward investment in the resources sector, with large Indian conglomerates such as Adani and GVK committing to multi-billion dollar projects in Queensland's Galilee Basin.

• Other major Indian companies that have invested in Queensland and have established offices include Pearls MiiHome, Jindal Steel, Shushan Steel, and Tata.

• The Australia-India Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement currently under negotiation has the potential to expand trade in services between India and Australia. A comprehensive FTA could facilitate growth in services trade by reducing barriers faced by Australian service suppliers and by increasing regulatory transparency. It may also facilitate and encourage investment by reducing barriers, increasing transparency and enhancing investment protections.

• Recognising the growing importance of Queensland's bilateral trade and investment relationship with India, the Queensland Government established a Trade and Investment Queensland office in Bangalore in 2004, officially opened by the then Premier in September 2004. As well as having an office in Bangalore, Trade and Investment Queensland also has representatives in Mumbai and Kolkata who promote Queensland's world-class expertise, products and services and investment opportunities.

Interview with Campbell Newman, Queensland Premier, who talks about his recent visit to India. Newman notes there are opportunities for the state in regard to mining investment, training and education, agricultural cooperation, and tourism. He says he is encouraged by the opportunity to get large mineral and energy projects going, including uranium, coal and natural gas. He acknowledges that public service job cuts have 'delivered a component' of the backward economic growth in Qld, but that there has been a massive downturn in mining activity due to the price of coal and high Australian dollar. He notes that Gold Coast Airport passenger numbers have increased, and notes that Qantas, Etihad, Scoot Airlines, China East and China Southern have all recently committed to new flights into Qld airports. He believes the government's attack on red tape is generating results in the housing sector, and notes that there are Galilee Basin projects from Adani and GVK. Of Clive Palmer's projects, he says Palmer needs to put in a proposal that ticks the boxes. He says that Indian companies are not concerned about the current coal price turndown, as they are planning investment for energy security 50 years ahead. He notes it will see royalties fuelling the construction of schools, roads and hospitals.(cont]

Hardgrave talks to Campbell Newman, Queensland Premier, who discusses the trade mission he has embarked on in Hyderabad, India. Newman says that the week long trip is about investment and jobs for Queenslanders. Hardgrave and Newman discuss the importance of a close economic relationship between Queensland and India. Newman says he wants to promote materials, agriculture, expertise and tourism exports. They discuss the coal mine investment being proposed by the Adani Group in the Galilee Basin, west of Emerald. The mine will probably be the biggest export coal mine in the world, hauling 60m tonnes a year in order to provide energy for India. Newman mentions that he was with Martin Ferguson, Federal Minister for Resources, Energy and Tourism, during the meeting with the Adani Group. He talks about his upcoming meeting with the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh and the Mayor of Hyderabad, and the signing of a memorandum of understanding of education collaboration between Griffith University and the Indian School of Business. Skills Tech Australia will also be signing a deal to provide mining technology and training to India. Hardgrave mentions comments by Ray Hopper, former LNP MP, about Newman being a puppet of Jeff Seeney, Queensland Deputy Premier and Tim Nicholls, State Treasurer, who ordered him to India. Newman denies these claims. Newman comments on the departure of Carl Judge, MP for Yeerongpilly, from the LNP, saying that he has asked lan Kaye, MP for Greenslopes, to take responsibility for the needs of Yeerongpilly, and that he will seek a replacement for Judge. Newman mentions that he is attending the COAG meeting in Canberra with Julia Gillard, Australian Prime Minister, saying that his government has a plan to cap rising electricity prices, and that they don't agree with the Prime Minister who, according to Newman, wants to cap prices through privatisation or price deregulation.

Young talks about Premier Campbell Newman not being at yesterday's traditional valedictory debate on the last day of Parliament as he had left for a Queensland Trade and Investment mission to India. She replays Newman' speech from during Question Time yesterday morning in which he promotes what his Government has accomplished in the past eight months. Newman says the Government will focus on the four pillar economy of tourism, resources, construction and agriculture. He says they will continue working on health care, education, safety, infrastructure, and being open and accountable. Young plays a part of Deputy Premier Jeff Seeney's speech who paid tribute to family members of the politicians for their support. Young plays an interview with Opposition Leader Annastacia Palaszczuk who applauded the resilience of Queenslanders, those in the armed forces who died this year in Afghanistan, and the formal apology to those affected by forced adoptions.

FROM scoring polo competitions to selling the Sunshine Strtte as rtn education destination, Campbell Ne\vman has declared his first internatiomtl tr<Hie trip a success.

The Queensland Premier returns tonight from his brief sqjourn in India during which he was ;1ccompanied by almosl80 business de legales.

India is one of Queensland's biggest trade destinations and during his liveday dsit Mr Newman held meelings in Mumhai. Ilyderabad, Mundra. Ahmedabad and Kolkata.

Mr Newman told Tlte

Courier-Mail yesterday the Government would be upfront about the costs. which he insisted had been wmth everv cent

"io the iayman it will seem expensive but there will be huge bene!ils that come rmm it," he said.

During the trip, the Premiel' announced n new tleal between Sinclair Knighl MerL and India energy giant, the Admi Group, to .supply engineering serYices.

He also used a speech in Hyderabad to talk up Queensl;md as an ed11C<ttion destination, saying there were

n.ooo lndi;m students in Queensland. contributing $330 million to the economy.

llowever. the most curious announcement was the unveiling of plans to host India's Mahamja Cup polo tournament on the Gold Coast from 2013.

"The Mahar;1,ja Cup is an exclusive polo tournament held under the patronage of !lis I lighness the Mnlwrf~:ja Ragha\' Raj Singh of Shivrali. Udaipur, which is proposed to mo\'e between I ndin and Australia annually," ;vtr Newm;111 said.

Lack of cash stops mission A"Y:. organisation wanting to attract more lndian students to Cairns has not been able to aflbrd to take part in the Queensland trade mission to the country.

Study Caims wanted to attend but accommodation and other expenses were too cosUy.

Premier Campbell Newman flew to India last Thursday on his nrst overseas trade and investment mission with 76 senior business representatives.

He said the mission would showcase the slate's best in mining, construction, inii·astructure, agriculture, tourism and the arts.

"Education <.md training rorms another intet,'l'al part of our cultural and economic relationship, with Queensland hosting more than 1:--l,OOO Indian students in 2011," Mr Xewman said.

The mission includes Mumbai, Gujarat, Ahmedabad, Hydcrabad and l<.olkata.

Study Cain1s president Carol Uoyle said India was a key source of students.

"We would l1ave loved to have gone hut couldn't afford it," she said.

"It actually was free for education providers, there were no costs to attend the various forums but we would have had to pay lOr accommodation and other expenses which v;muld have been about $4000. We don't have Lhe funds.

"It certainly was on the radar and we were invited. We commend Premier Campbell .t\ewman for organising the mission."

NICK DALTON

"lndian students arc quite important to Cairns. When there were issues with the changes to visas two years ago and also the violence in Melbomne and Sydney a lot of Indian students came to Cairns.

'"'!'here is quite an enclave of Indian students, particularly lOr VET (vocational education and training) and many stay in Innis!hil to wm·]{ on banana !h1ms and such.

'"So what is happening now that is when some of them get permanent residency they bring their relatives out here too."

Ms Doyle said UIC attractiveness of Cairns to visit, work and study was being spread by word or mouth in India.

Advance Cain1s chief executive ollicer Stewa1i Christie said his organisation and several others in Cairns were invited.

'"1 know Umt a number of oU1er organisations in the region \vere invited but due to the lOcus that Advance Cairns has on P.i'\G and China, our organisation chose not to attend the Premier's mission so we can remain fOcused on these two gcog:raphic markets lbr the time being," he said.

Mine a solution, not a sell-out says Premier

Owen Jacques APN Newsdesk

CLAIMS by controversial talk-back personality Alan Jones that Queensland was "selling out" to Indian mine developers have been cmmtered by Premier Campbell Newman.

Mr Jones told listeners on Monday the massive Carmichael Mine, to be built west of Emerald in the Galilee Basin, was an example of putting short-term mining gains ahead of agricultnral interests.

He said for Premier Campbell Newman and Resources Minister Martin Ferguson to support the plan was a "betrayal of ordinary Australians".

Mr Jones discussed both politicians being toured around India by international powerhouse Adani, which is developing the mine.

The broadcaster warned floodplains and farms would be split by Ad ani's 400km rail line from Alpha to Abbot Point in central Queensland.

It would also destroy the environment, he said.

Speaking to APN from India earlier this week, the Premier said despite having "the utmost respect" for Mr

Ifwewant... international trade, we have to go after these projects.

Jones, he did not agree with the shock jock.

"It's a symbiotic relationship," Mr Newman said.

"If we want to leverage the things we have that give us international trade, we have to go after these projects.

"We need jobs for Queenslanders, not just at the mine but for boilermakers, fitters and turners and concreters.

"If we say no, it's like this: it won't happen."

Adani's Carmichael Mine is expected to create 5000 jobs during construction and 4000 jobs once operating.

Carmichael will export up to 60 million tonnes of thermal coal per year, used to produce electricity.

Adani is seeking government approvals to start construction by mid 2013 so it can begin exporting in 2016.

Adani deal QUEENSLAND companies are continuing to secure major contracts to provide mining equipment and services in the development of Adani Group's Queensland operations, including Abbot Point.

Premier Campbell Newman announced at a media conference at Adani Group's port facility in Mundra, India, Sinclair Knight Merz would be supplying its engineering services to the Group.

"Sinclair Knight Merz is one of the Queensland companies that has contrib-

uted to our international status as a centre of excellence for mining, and is now providing its services in major infrastructure developments to overseas companies," he said.

"The company has been commissioned by Adani Group to provide engineering services for the development of the Abbot Point port expansion, supporting Adani's proposed plans to develop Queensland's Galilee Basin into a leading resources hub."

Adani moves ahead on Carmichael plan

Owen Jaques [email protected]

INDIAN powerhouse Adani has enthusiastically affirmed its plans to hire up to 9000 workers as it spends $10 billion on a mine, railway and port in Queensland's central west.

It is a sharp contrast to others, including BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto, which both flagged a more restrained approach in announcements last week.

In a statement, Adani celebrated the end of its exploration phase for the Carmichael Mine, a phase which found its land in the Galilee Basin, west of Rockhampton, to be the largest single coal province in the world.

Carmichael will mine 60 million tonnes of coal for electricity production per year, dispatching it over a 400km rail line to Abbot Point, near Bowen.

The firm is also developing a giant export terminal at Dudgeon Point, south of Mackay.

Adani Group chairman Gautam Ad ani showed Premier Campbell Newman and Resources Minister Martin Ferguson around the firm's massive port development in Mundra, India.

This would be where Queensland's coal would arrive, before being funnelled into a nearby power station.

In a phone interviewfrom India, Premier Newman told APN he believed Ad ani would move quickly so it could benefit from the caution shown by its multinational competitors.

With suppliers to the industry now facing a slowing demand, Adani will purchase more for less.

"The irony for Adani, which has a long-term vision, this is the time to build the infrastructure they need at a lower price," Mr Newman said.

The Premier, Mr Ferguson and almost 80 business representatives toured the Mundra project - a development that wowed Queensland's top politician with its linked port and power station.

"I have seen a Jot of ports in my time, but judging how big it will ultimately be is staggering," Mr Newman said.

"(The power station) will be burning Queensland coal.

"It is the largest power station I have seen anywhere in the world.

"It's twice the size of the largest in Australia."

The scale of these structures helps to explain why the Premier said he

Premier Campbell

Newman: It is the largest power station I have seen anywhere in the world. It's twice the size of the largest in Australia

never doubted Adani's intentions. The Carmichael Mine will ideally de

liver its first coal for export in early 2016, with Adani keen for an approval by mid-2013.

Carmichael's firstexportswilllikely follow closely behind those of the nearby GVK Hancock's Alpha Projecta mine also exporting from Abbot Point.

Once given its mining lease, Adani will employ 5000 workers to build the three projects, with 4000 needed once operations begin.

"l'he self-made billionaire said the company had proved up a 10 billion tonne coal resource at its Carmichael Coal Mine in the Galilee Basin- making it the world's largest single coal tenement. "OurpartnershipwithAustralia and Queensland has been one of exceptional trust, transparency ;"ltld understanding." the

50-year-oltl Indian mining and power magnate said.

"T Irtving seen lhe speed. rtnd with the supporl received to undertake and complete the largest and most ambitious mining exploralionprogram in record time.

were whisked ofT- again by private jet- to the Atlani private estate in the Gujarati capital Ahmetlabad for a lavish evening reception and concert, part or the four-month-long Ozfest atltural program.

Though Ozfest is Australia's public diplomatic and trade push in India, last night's concert by Australian hybrid orchestra and theatre performers Deep Blue was a private event at the residence of Mr Adani - one of Ozfest's main Indian sponsors.

The 12-hour mutual schmooze fest is in stark contrast to the escalating drama with Mr Palmer. which beg:m earlier this year when he lost out to GVK Hancock for the contract to build a rail network linking the coal-rich Galilee Basin to lhe Queensland coast. and has since resulted in his resignrtlion from the Queensland Liberal National Party.

Adani defies trend with $10bn Galilee project

AUSTRALIA'S lmgesllndian investor Adani Group will push ~he~d with it.:; $10 bi\lion Carmichael Coal mine, rail and port project in central Queensland. defYing the commodities slowdown lhal he~s clipped Lhe ambitions of many Australian miners.

Chairman Gautrtm Adani announced yeslenlay his company had completed exploration in arecord nine months and intended to exporllo India ils first coal shipment from the mine by January 2016, t:tking adv:tntage of theresources industry slowdown thal has freed up manpower to begin construction work.

At n press conference with Queensland Premier Campbell Newm.-.n and Federal Resources :tnd Energy Minister N1<1rtin Ferguson at Adani Group's Mundra Porland Powersl<~lion in Gqjaral, the self-made hillionair·e said his company had praYed up a 10 hillion-lonne co:tl resource at Lhe Carmichael deposit in central Queensland's Galilee Basin -the world's largest single coal lenemenL

1.-Jr Newman and ~vir Ferguson yesterday pledged their governments' commitment to granting all regulatory and endronmental approv:tls by mid nexl ye.-.r so lhal mine construction work could begin on target by the end of2013.

"We welcome thal commitment because we haYe to Lake advantage of this window where mosl other major (resomt·es) projeds are on hold, freeing up re-

sources and manpower to expedite this prqjecl," Mr Ad.-.ni told 1'1leAu.stralian.

The company's partnership with both lhe Queensl:111d and federal governments had been "one of exceptional trust, transparency and understanding". he added.

"!laving seen the speed and with lhe support received Lo undertake and complete the 1.-.rgesl and most mnbilious mining explorallon program in record time. I am now certain that Queensland has been the righl choice."

While Rio Tintoand BHP ha\'e significantly scaled down ambitious plans in the face of cooling commodities demand from China. Mr Adani said his group was immune to the slowdown.

"Indian demand for power is great bul we are .-.!so one or the largest coal traders (selling coal rtcross South and Southeast Asia) and Adani Power :tlso has ils own co:tl requirements so we're quite flexible.'' he said.

Mr Ferguson and the Queensland Premier flew from Mumbai to the massive industrial complex on <1 priv<~te Adani jet yesterday, leaving behind the ongoing war or words between the Newman state government and Queensland miner Clive Palmer· m·er his rival Galilee coal venture.

The two men, <llong wilh 76 Queensland business le:tders, were gi\'en a morning tour of the sile:tnd lalerwhisli.ed off- again by pri\'atejel- to Lhe Adani pri\"ate estate in the Gujarati capital Ahmedabad for a ];wish evening

Mr· Ferguson said his lour of the Mundra facility had reinforced his confidence in the Adani Group's capacity to pull off Lhe Carmichael project. as well as his view that the Galilee Basin could he "another llunler Vallev in terms of coal capadly and Aus~tralian export opportunity".

"llere today I w:ts also informed of the likelihood lhal an LNG receiYing depot will be built in immediate years to come creating future export opportunity for Australia which will vel'\' shorlly become the l:trgesl ex~porlerofLNG in the world."

Mr Newman said his government too w<ls "doing e\'erylhing we can lo progress Lhe approvals process'" and also called on Indian companies lo explore uranium mining opportunities in Queensland now his government had o\·erturned the 20-year-long ban.

Both ministers will attend a mining industry conference in Kolkata tomorrow. but last night watched a private performance by Austr·alian hybrid orchestr:t .-.nd theatre group Deep Blue at the residence of Mr Adani, a major Ozl'est sponsor.

FED:$10 billion coal boom for Qld

SYDNEY, Dec 2 AAP- Australian officials are in India to formalise a deal for the largest and most comprehensive coal mining exploration program undertaken in Australia.

Federal Resources Minister Martin Ferguson and Queensland Premier Campbell Newman travelled to the sub-continent for the announcement by Indian-based infrastructure company The Adani Group that it's ready to proceed with a multi-billion dollar mining project in the Galilee basin.

The Adani Group has completed a comprehensive geotechnical field investigation to define the coal resource at Carmichael Mine, which at ten billion tonnes, worth an estimated $10 billion, makes it the largest coal tenement in the world.

The company says the project will include the construction of a mine, rail and port infrastructure and create 4000 long-term jobs.

The Adani Group chairman, Gautam Adani, said the company's partnership with Australia and Queensland had been one of "exceptional trust, transparency and understanding".

"Australian industry and the Indian corporales like the Adani Group have some distinctive synergies, which will prove to be of mutual benefit to all in the long run," Mr Adani said in a statement on Sunday.

"The Adani Group stands committed to setting up world-class infrastructure facilities such as a mine, railway and port in Australia."

Mr Newman said India was now a "trading ally". "As India's industries ccntinue to grow, so do the opportunities for partnerships between our regions.

India has become more to Queensland than a mere trading partner. We are now trading allies," the premier said.

The Adani Group has already invested $3 billion in its integrated Australian projects and is expected to invest a further $7 billion over coming years.

The group is operating Abbot Point coal terminal near Bowen which it acquired in 2011 and is planning to increase its annual capacity to 120 million tonnes from the current 50 million tonnes.

The coal from the Carmichael Mine will be transported via the 400km railway line to Abbot Point for export to India.
