FICCI Boating Meet for Boat Manufacturers
in India – 17th December 2009
FICCI – The FICCI India Boating
forum, which was established during the
previous Mumbai International Boat Show,
has organized its first consultative meeting
of Indian Boat Manufacturers on Thursday,
December 17th 2009, 10 am to 01 pm at
FICCI Conference Room, Worli, Mumbai.
This will be a precursor to the FICCI
India Boating Conference which will be
held during the Mumbai International Boat
Show in February 2010. So far up to 10
major boat manufacturers from all over
India have confirmed their participation
for the meet.

The objective of organizing this meeting
is to gather suggestions and inputs on
existing policy, regulatory and tax issues,
which will help in improving the existing
business environment for Indian boat manufacturers
and their competitiveness in Indian and
overseas market.
These are exciting but also challenging
times for this young industry. There is
much to do and action is necessary at
all levels. We are confident that the
collective ideas, expertise, suggestions
and energies of all the Indian boat manufacturers
during this consultative meeting will
go long way in achieving our objective
of creating a competitive and capable
boating industry for Indian and overseas
markets.
The outcome of consultative meeting will
be compiled as a white paper to be presented
at the FICCI India Boating Conference
which will be held during the Mumbai International
Boat Show in February 2010 and will also
be then submitted to the Government of
India and other agencies for their necessary
action.

The Mumbai International Boat Show has received
support from Admiral
Nirmal Verma, Chief of the
Naval Staff, Ministry of Defence (Navy)
& President, Yachting Association of
India.
According to Admiral Verma, after the
successful conduct of three boat shows,
the Mumbai
International Boat Show is now being globally
recognized as the premier boat show in
India.
It is Admiral Verma’s view that
boating and sailing should be natural
activities in a country with a long coastline
such as ours, and a boat show like this
would provide an impetus by creating a
high level of interest. He has further
assures us of the Yachting Association
of India’s continual support for
the future.
The Mumbai International Boat Show has
been enjoying phenomenal success year-after-year,
since its inception in 2007. It is today
seen as not only India’s largest
boat show but also as a platform for the
Indian as well as the International boating
industry. Mumbai International Boat Show’s
strategy and grandeur has attracted the
right kind of visitors, with more exhibitors
believing in it every year, making it
the most important boat show in the country.
This year more than fifty per cent of
the show is already booked and the rest
is filling up fast, proving that the Mumbai
International Boat Show 2010 has once
again been perceived as the ideal platform
for exhibitors and visitors.
Bookings are open till 31st January,
2010. Don’t miss the opportunity
to be a part of this fantastic event!
