Such incentives have existed from ages in many forms ( DEPB, SEZ etc.).
One can look at it this way. If GOI removes DEPB, Bajaj will move out with the offer of setting up a plant that will make 1 million bikes, provide employment to 1000 workers, bring in 100 ancillary industries. Then the plant will be set up in that country that offers cheapest production cost. Its a win-win for Bajaj and that country.
The reason why Bajaj is worried is because removal of DEPB will tarnish their balance sheets for at least 2-3 years. But I am sure Bajaj will have Plan B and C.
