Escalating US-Iran conflict may affect India's exports to Iran: FIEO

06 Jan 2020 Evaluate

Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) Director General Ajay Sahai has said that the escalating conflict between the United States (US) and Iran will have implications on India's exports to the Persian Gulf nation. He noted that so far exporters have not flagged any concerns related with exports to Iran, but, if the tensions will continue, it may have affect on India's exports to Iran.

Sahai has stated that due to existing trade sanctions on Iran, Iranian shipping lines are only taking Indian consignments to that country. He said that tensions between Iran and the US increased after an American drone strike killed top Iranian general Qasem Soleimani. He added that Iran is a key trading partner of India and its major exports to India are oil, fertilisers and chemicals, while it imports cereals, tea, coffee, basmati rice, spices and organic chemicals, among others.

In 2018-19, India's exports to the Persian Gulf nation were worth $3.51 billion (about Rs 24,920 crore), while imports were valued at $13.52 billion (about Rs 96,000 crore). The trade imbalance is mainly because of India's import of oil from Iran. Both the countries are holding negotiations for a bilateral preferential trade agreement (PTA) to increase trade. Unlike a free trade pact, where two trading partners significantly reduce or eliminate duties on maximum number of goods traded between them, PTA involves removal of duties on certain identified products.
