The implementation of new Free Trade Agreements by India is expected to boost manufacturing, revive private capital expenditure, and integrate supply chains, particularly in the Electronics, Pharmaceuticals, and Engineering & Machinery Goods sectors. This could lead to increased exports and overall economic growth for India, attracting global manufacturers looking to diversify from China.
India is implementing a new generation of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) with various countries and alliances, including the United Arab Emirates, Australia, United Kingdom, European Free Trade Association, Oman, New Zealand, and European Union. These FTAs, combined with domestic initiatives like PLI schemes, are expected to act as catalysts for manufacturing expansion, private capital expenditure revival, and supply-chain integration. A report by Meritz Securities highlights that these agreements could help India achieve its target of US$1 trillion in merchandise exports and US$2 trillion in total exports by 2030. While the FTAs are seen as a fundamental shift towards deeper global trade integration, Meritz Securities also cautions that domestic competitiveness challenges, such as high logistics costs and lower labor productivity, must be addressed for the full benefits to materialize.
