Product Specific Industrial Cluster Development Program

Karnataka is creating India's first toy cluster in the district of Koppal, developed in partnership with Aequs Infra, provides state of the art industrial infrastructure with power, water, internal roads, and waste disposal facilities and common facilities like customs, security, and a Centre of Excellence. The cluster provides a built to suit, self-sustained ecosystem spread over 400 acres of land, including an SEZ to serve export markets and domestic tariff area (DTA) for the domestic market. It has the potential to create 40,000 jobs in five years and attract over INR 5,000 crore in investments. 

Trade Scenario

All toy products under category HS Code 9503 benefit from a preferential tariff structure under APTA (Asia Pacific Trade Agreement) and AIFTA (ASEAN India Free Trade Area). As such, the imposed duties on toy imports of 60% are effectively reduced to up to 34.2% under APTA and 0% under AIFTA subject to FTA conditions.
India has been importing toys of an average value of $285 mn for the last 3 years under the Chapter 9503.
Toys exports from India amounted to $130 mn during 2019-2020 with USA and UK being the lead export destinations
