Hi Raju, there are many ways it could applied, but I expect the most common would be in presenting product benefits like rules:
“Our soap produces the best results.”
Or to make state/condition claims:
“We have more sun on the south coast than anywhere else.”

Glad you found it interesting – indeed this isn’t a use that’s typically taught, I suppose because it is rather nuanced.

I have no idea we could use the present to express the past!
