My dear fellow exporters,

India is en route to solve its existing trade dispute with many of its trading partners, according to the Commerce Minister Mr. Suresh Prabhu. This message of friendliness is definitely an effective step towards enhancing India`s trade and extending presence of Indian business across the globe. The biggest beneficiary of this decision will certainly be the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) of India who has already been playing a key role in promotion of industrialization and exports.

Meanwhile, India has started its two-day meeting with the officials of USA today where renewal of GSP benefits provided to India by the USA will remain on top of the agenda along with discussion on Tariff War, Pricing of medical devices and additional tariffs on Indian steel and aluminium exports. Retaining the GSP beneficiary status is quite important for India as withdrawal of the same by the US government may cause a number of indigenous MSME units to shut down in India. India`s total exports to USA amounts to US$5.6 billion under the GSP beneficiary programme.

Plan to get millions more Indians flying faces turbulence

Bangkok Post 12.06.2018

The slow pace of fitting out regional airports risks delaying Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ambitious plan to launch more flights connecting smaller towns and cities and get millions more people using air travel. The program, flagged off by Modi last year, aims to boost economic growth by refurbishing idled colonial-era airstrips or building newer airports, and incentivizing airlines to offer discounted fares to connect them with bigger cities. But work on building new airports in small towns and upgrading existing facilities has failed to keep pace, two government officials said, and could knock off course the government’s lofty goal of bringing 100 million more passengers to the skies in the next five years.
