Back EEPC to focus on outsourcing

Hyderabad, Aug. 31

The Engineering Export Promotion Council (EEPC) will focus on engineering process outsourcing (EPO) to tap the emerging market, according to Mr Rakesh Shah, Chairman EEPC. “Indian engineering industry can have a niche in EPO in the days to come. With the recent sanction of services sector status to EPO, there is a huge global opportunity for India in this sector,” Mr Shah told newspersons here on Friday. The EEPC would act as a facilitator to drive EPO from Ind ia. “Towards this end, we are organising a global conference on EPO in the Indian Engineering Meet and Exhibition (IEME) to be held in Hyderabad between January 9 and 11, 2008.” .

The global EPO opportunity for India was estimated to be over $30 billion by 2015, he added. —
