Today, the Reserve Bank released the results1 of the fifteenth round of its biennial survey on foreign collaboration in Indian industry (FCS) covering the financial years 2023-24 and 2024-25. This survey captures information on financial parameters and operations of the Indian companies having technical collaboration with foreign companies during the reference period, as per the attached schedule. In the latest survey round, 601 foreign technical collaboration (FTC) agreements were reported by 255 Indian entities, of which, 163 entities had participated in the previous survey round. Highlights:
- Foreign technical collaboration (FTC) agreements were primarily present in the foreign direct investment (FDI) companies, which were either foreign subsidiaries (i.e., single foreign investor holding more than 50 per cent of total equity) or foreign associate companies (i.e., foreign investors’ equity holding ranging between 10 to 50 per cent), with 68 per cent and 21 per cent share of the total FTCs, respectively (Table 1).
- The FTCs in the manufacturing sector entities accounted for 78.4 per cent of the total reported FTCs, of which, machinery and motor vehicles together accounted for 30.6 per cent; while FTCs in the services sector constituted 16.6 per cent (Table 2).
- Japan, the United States of America (USA) and Germany remained the top three countries contributing to the technical collaborations in the Indian entities (Table 3).
- Around 61 per cent of FTCs involved technology know-how transfer by the foreign collaborators and 8 per cent FTCs were for use of trademarks / brand names (Table 4).
- Royalty payments, inclusive both royalty and lump sum technical fees, was the payment mode for around two-thirds of FTCs (Table 5).
- Of the 601 reported FTC agreements, 187 had export restriction clauses and 188 FTC had provision for exclusive rights on assets transferred (Tables 6 and 8).
- Manufacturing sector had the highest share in value of production among the FTC companies. Within manufacturing, motor vehicles sector had the largest share (Table 9).
- The exports of the FTC reporting entities grew at a faster pace (20.3 per cent) as compared to the imports (4.6 per cent) in 2024-25 - they had 17.7 per cent and 18.6 per cent shares, respectively, in the total value of production (Tables 10 and 11).
- Average profitability of FTC reporting companies, measured by the ratio of gross profit to capital employed, stood at 14.4 per cent in the current survey round (Table 12).
