$ 62 m ADB boost to revive fisheries industry in North
On the request of Government, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) has provided preparatory technical assistance to formulate a project to revive the fisheries sector in the four conflict affected districts of Jaffna, Mannar, Mullaitivu and Kilinochchi under the Northern Province Sustainable Fisheries Development Project.
The $ 62 million ADB supported project intends to support Gurunagar and three identified feasible fisheries harbours in Point Pedro in the Jaffna district and Pesalai in the Mannar district, V. Sivagnanasothy, Secretary, Ministry of Prisons Reform, Rehabilitation, Resettlement and Hindu Religious Affairs said.
The Northern Province was one of the most productive fishing regions in the past. Fish production has decreased over the years due to the past 30 year old conflict that prevailed in the region. Fisheries infrastructure facilities are in the dilapidated stage and the proposed ADB funded project intends to develop fisheries harbours, anchorages, landing sites, and related infrastructure facilities.
Prior to the conflict, the Northern Province accounted for 40% of the marine fish catch. By2009 however it has declined to 7%. However, with the lifting of restriction to access coastal waters, the contribution has increased to 12%.

DNC Asiatic plans to set up motorcycle factory in Sri Lanka
KUCHING: DNC Asiatic Holdings Sdn Bhd, which has invested some RM10mil to develop the market for its Malaysian-made Demak motorcycles in Sri Lanka, has plans to set up manufacturing facilities there.
According to executive director Hu Ying, the company would consider setting up a manufacturing plant in Sri Lanka once the Demak brand is firmly established with sizeable market share and annual sales of at least between 25,000-30,000 units in that country.
Wholly-owned subsidiary Demak Manufacturing Lanka (Pvt) Ltd has acquired a 10-acre land, located about 20km from the international airport in Colombo, for the proposed plant project.
Hu said the company’s Sri Lanka operations currently assembled Demak bikes from knocked-down components manufactured by DNC Asiatic’s main factory in Selangor. The company also owns a manufacturing plant in Kuching, and the two plants have a total production capacity of 120,000 units per annum.
“Our sales in Sri Lanka doubled to 3,000 units last year from 2014 and our target is to more than triple the sales to 10,000 units this year,” she told StarBiz. Hu is optimistic that the target is achieveable in view of the phenomenal growth of the motorcycle market after the civil war in Sri Lanka ended in 2009, and with the launch of specially-designed Demak scooters for the locals, especially female riders.
According to Sri Lankan road transport authorities, the number of new registered motorcycles jumped by over 50% to 301,000 units last year, from 197,000 units in 2014.
Hu said the double-digit growth in annual registration of new motorbikes was expected to be maintained in future years as the locals had the purchasing power in line with Sri Lanka’s economic growth.
Last month, International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Mustapha Mohamed launched the new Demak Civic Scooter 110cc in Colombo.
Hu said DNC Asiatic had capitalised on the spectacular growth in the sales of scooter – from 10% to over 30% of total bike sales in three years – to come up with the specially-designed model for the Sri Lanka market. The Demak Civic Scooter 110cc is priced at about US$1,300.
“Our scooter has easy riding features for particularly urban ladies. It is affordable, fashionable and with high performance. The scooter is an efficient transport for the locals in traffic congested cities. The feedbacks after the launch is very good. Initially, we forsee we can sell an average of 300 units a month.
“We plan to launch two more scooter models – 125cc and 150cc – in the next three months,” she said, adding that scooters are seen as trendy bikes. Eight credit companies in Sri Lanka provide end-financing for the purchase of Demak motorcycles. Under the Sri Lanka central bank’s new ruling, motorbike purchasers are now required to pay a minimium 30% in downpayment.
Hu said eight Demak models, including street bikes and scramblers, are currently available at 90 Demak dealers nationwide in Sri Lanka. Demak’s extensive sales networks also include 15 mega showrooms/3S centres as well as 220 service and spare parts centres.
Demak, which spread its wing to Sri Lanka in 2010, made a breakthrough into the new market with its 150cc scrambler, which is still No. 1 seller in the scrambler segment today. Riding on the popularity, the company then introduced the 200cc scrambler and other models. “Next year, we will unveil a new 250cc scrambler,” she said.
This year alone, Demak Manufacturing Lanka has a RM3mil budget to fund the brand’s advertising, promotion and marketing activities.

CEAT Sri Lanka to raise radial tyre capacity by 75-pct
A section of CEAT's radial tyre manufacturing plant at Kelaniya
ECONOMYNEXT - CEAT Sri Lanka has announced it will invest Rs 800 million over the next 12 months to increase radial tyre production capacity by 75 per cent, to 70,000 tyres a month from 40,000 to meet growing local and export demand.
The company said in a statement it currently has a 30% share of the radial tyre market and supplies nearly half of Sri Lanka’s overall requirement of pneumatic tyres.
About a third of CEAT Sri Lanka’s current tyre production is exported to 15 countries in South Asia, the Middle East, Africa and the Far East.
The new expansion comes two years after CEAT Sri Lanka commissioned a Rs 600 million radial tyre manufacturing plant at the company’s Kelaniya complex to produce tyres for cars and sports utility vehicles (SUVs).
“Our new investment entails a virtual replication of the plant we opened in July 2014, with new hi-tech machines,” CEAT Sri Lanka Managing Director Vijay Gambhire said.
“This bold decision to almost double production reflects our commitment to Sri Lanka and our confidence in the potential of our tyres to compete with global brands in the domestic and export markets. With this investment, CEAT Sri Lanka’s total investment will rise to Rs 3.8 billion.”
The new machines to be installed would produce 13 sizes of radial tyres, increasing production of several existing sizes as well as adding new sizes to the company’s radial tyre portfolio, which already comprises of 33 sizes - 20 for cars, eight for vans and five for SUVs, Gambhire said.
CEAT Sri Lanka Vice President Sales, Marketing & Exports Ravi Dadlani said the increase in production capacity and the introduction of new sizes will give the firm the potential to double market share.
Among the 13 CEAT radial tyre sizes to be manufactured when the latest phase of expansion is complete, are 31x10.5 R 15 All-Terrain tyres, 265/70R16 H/T, 205/75R 14 H/T and 205/75R15 H/Ttyres under CEAT’s Czar brand, and two export sizes - 215/70 R 15 C and 225/70 R 15 C.

Rajagiriya flyover to be built in 32 months
June 13, 2016, 9:52 pm
by Maheesha Mudugamuwa
The construction work on the proposed Rajagiriya flyover which was officially inaugurated in last week was expected to be completed within 32 months, Higher Education and Highways Minister Lakshman Kiriella said yesterday.
Kiriella told The Island that the 534-metre long, four-lane bridge would be the longest in the country.
The first phase of the project was expected to be completed by the end of next year and the second stage scheduled to be completed in late 2018, the Minister said.
Funds for the project come from a relief credit line established by the Government of Spain. The total cost of the project is estimated at Rs. 4.7 billion.
After the completion of the project, the travel time between Nelum Pokuna and Battaramulla would be halved, Minister Kiriella noted.
It was estimated that generally more than 100,000 vehicles moved across the Welikada Junction daily, the Minister said.
According to the Road Development Authority (RDA), the average speed of a vehicle from Diyatha Uyana Battaramulla to Devi Balika Vidyalaya in Borella was currently about nine kilometres per hour due to heavy traffic congestion, Minister Kiriella said. During peak hours, the speed dropped to about three kilometres per hour, he added.
After the construction of the flyover vehicles would be able to ply at a speed of 20 km per hour along the stretch between Diyatha Uyana to Devi Balika Vidyalaya, Minister Kiriella added.
The vehicles travelling direct to and from Colombo via Battaramulla could use the proposed flyover at Rajagiriya, the Minister said.
In addition, the Highways Ministry stated that the construction work on the Polgahawela and Ganemulla flyovers built under the same Spanish-funded project was already underway at an estimated cost of Rs. 8.4 billion. An interest of 0.15 percent would be charged on 70 percent of the loan while the interest on the balance 30 percent would be 1.95 percent, Minister Kiriella said. The loan is repayable in 40 years with a grace period of four years.
