Beyond signing FTAs: How India is helping exporters use trade deals to enter global markets and boost shipments
India’s approach to free trade agreements is moving into a more implementation-focused phase. After spending the past decade expanding its network of bilateral and regional trade arrangements, the emphasis is increasingly on converting negotiated market access into actual export gains for Indian businesses. The shift is visible in export performance, the growing use of preferential Certificates of Origin and the expansion in the number of product categories being shipped to countries with which India has trade agreements.
