Dear All,
We are executing Hydro Power plant contract in Nepal, order is received against bidding and funding by Joint venture of Govt of Nepal and Govt of India. All payment will be received against supply in INR.
We want confirmation for :-
(1) As a manufacturer , Is Advance Authorisation under Physical Export allowed for Import of Raw material & components for manufacturing of Power Plant equipment ?
(2) If allowed , Documents required for EODC,
In this case , we will fulfill value addition condition but payment is only in INR.
Regards,
BM Goyal
