According to the Federation of Indian Export Organization (FIEO), India's exports are likely to touch $360 billion in the current fiscal from $312.35 billion in 2013-14. However, the FIEO President Rafeeq Ahmed said that to touch $360 billion exports mark, the new government will have to take various measures further.
The FIEO President also suggested the Commerce Ministry to fix export target for five years instead of annual target. India’s exports may reach at $750 billion after five years, though there is an urgent need to improve infrastructure and resolve issues related to revenue. FIEO has also stated that India’s export growth can come from the neighboring countries and any improvement in relationship with Pakistan will help boost the country’s exports.
During the financial year 2014, India’s exports touched $312.35 billion, a 3.98% growth over the previous fiscal year, but remained below the set exports target at $325 billion. India's share in global trade stands at about 2 percent. In India, Foreign Trade Policy (FTP) governs all exports and imports related activities and mainly aims at enhancing the country's exports. Over the last three fiscal years, India’s export has been hovering near $300 billion and it has become imperative to boost country’s exports and enhance its contribution in the world trade.
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 in June 2014. Meanwhile, new FTP is likely to promote exports of specific products in specific geographies and would also abolish conventional method of exports by focusing more on areas like branding of products in the global markets, exports of services and hi-tech products and new strategy for marketing.
