New FTP to focus on branding of products, services exports

16 Apr 2014 Evaluate

Taking into account the rising concerns of India’s subdued exports performance, the new foreign trade policy (FTP) to be introduced this year, is expected to focus on issues such as services sector shipments, standards and branding of products. The five-year FTP (2009-14) ended on March 31 and the new government formed after the general election will introduce new FTP for the period 2014-19. FTP governs all exports and imports related activities and mainly aims at enhancing the country's exports and use trade expansion as an effective instrument of economic growth and employment generation. 

It has become imperative to boost country’s exports which have been hovering near $300 billion over the last three fiscal years. The new FTP is likely to promote exports of specific products in specific geographies and would also abolish conventional method of exports through focusing more on areas like high-tech items, branding of products in the global market and new strategy for marketing. The policy may also review the current schemes which are not in compliance with the World Trade Organization (WTO) norms. According to global exports norms, India cannot provide export subsidies to a sector if outbound shipments from those particular segment crosses 3.5 percent share in the global market. Therefore, India would not be able to provide export subsidies to textile sector as the sector is reported to have crossed the 3.5 percent share in the global market. India's share in global trade stands at about 2 percent.

In FY14, India's exports grew marginally by 3.96 percent to $312.35 billion, which was below the set export target at $325 billion. During April-February period, services exports, which contribute about 60 per cent to the country's GDP were worth $152.69 billion.
