Need to explore new markets to boost service sector’s exports: Commerce Minister

13 Nov 2013 Evaluate

In a move to enhance country’s services exports, the government has asked the service exporters to explore new markets such as Africa as the share of India's services sector in global trade is still very low. Commerce and Industry Minister Anand Sharma said that like Indian merchandise exporters who diversified their markets and tapped new economies, service sector companies should also adopt the same strategy. Services sector, which includes banking, insurance, outsourcing, R&D, courier and technology testing, represent around 60% share in the country’s GDP and 40 percent in Indian exports.

Commerce minister said that though India has strong presence in North America countries, Indian service exports will have to focus on Africa nations offering huge opportunities. Besides IT and telecommunication, there is also need to focus on services such as healthcare, tourism and financial services, he added. Further in order to enlarge our presence in the global market, services companies should reduce transaction costs like delays in cargo and reducing infrastructural bottlenecks. The Government will set up a joint task force for the services sector together with the industry to prepare an action plan for the development of the sector and increase services exports, he added.

At present, Indian service sector’s outsourcing business is under pressure due to the various restrictions put by developed economies.  During 2012-13, Indian service sector exports stood at $146 billion. Further, the sector account for over 50 percent of foreign direct investment into the country. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into Indian services sector has declined by 47.5 percent to $1.19 billion during the April-August period of 2013 as compared to $ 2.28 billion in the same period last year amid rising concerns over the declined outsourcing business of India.
