In order to protect interest of industry and traders, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal has said his ministry will review all existing free trade agreements (FTAs) with different countries. He said India also decided to walk out from the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership agreement, keeping in view the interest of small traders and dairy industry.
The minister mentioned that FTAs with countries like Japan, South Korea, and Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) provided duty-free access to Indian markets, but domestic goods face barriers in these countries. These unfair pacts did not benefited Indian traders and industry. He said ‘I want to assure you that the commerce ministry will open the old FTAs and hold discussions with these countries.’
Besides, he said that the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) will authorise small shops running in over 100 colonies in the national capital. He said that the move would benefit 50,000 small and marginal traders in Delhi.
