About this stamp
Sixty Years of EEPC India
India Post issued this ₹5 stamp on 24 November 2015 for the sixtieth anniversary of EEPC India, the former Engineering Export Promotion Council, set up in 1955 under the Ministry of Commerce to promote exports of engineering goods, projects and services. From a few members it has grown into the largest export promotion council in the country, with about 13,000 member firms, from large corporations to small and medium enterprises. It was the first export promotion body in India to receive ISO 9002 certification.
From $10 Million to $62 Billion
India’s engineering exports rose from US$10 million in 1956–57 to US$62 billion in 2013–14. EEPC India promotes them through trade delegations, buyer–seller meets and its own Indian Engineering Exhibitions (INDEE) abroad, held in cities from Singapore, Nairobi and London to Mexico City, St Petersburg and Shanghai, and helps overseas buyers find suppliers in India.
The stamp was designed by Alka Sharma; Security Printing Press, Hyderabad printed 0.6 million.
