The article states: "The government said the order will apply only to new tenders for public procurement. It will not apply to procurement by the private sector." I'm guessing this means for the cranes. So on the crane front MPL shouldn't be affected. I also can't see how they can work it with the tankers either. Don't really see this Indian Govt. procurement /trade rule being an issue for the time being - it also relates to new procurements not existing ones.
Article also states: "The rule, though, will be difficult to implement under the cost, insurance and freight (CIF) contracts, where the shipping part is finalised by the overseas suppliers."
Good spot draft, certainly a discussion point :)
