Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu has lauded the newly established India-US interim trade framework as a game-changer for Indian enterprises, poised to significantly amplify their competitiveness in international markets. This strategic agreement is designed to dismantle trade hurdles, simplify regulatory processes, and foster seamless integration into worldwide supply networks.
The framework prioritizes easing the path for Indian exporters by cutting down on redundant compliance requirements and expediting export protocols. By eliminating unnecessary testing and certifications, it aims to slash operational costs and save valuable time for businesses. This efficiency is expected to ripple through supply chains, ultimately making products more cost-effective for end consumers.
Particularly advantageous for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), the pact opens doors for these entities to embed themselves more deeply into global value chains. This move is anticipated to drive sectoral expansion, generate employment opportunities, and empower smaller players to broaden their overseas footprint.
A core element of the initiative involves synchronizing Indian products with international benchmarks. Such harmonization is projected to instill greater confidence in global buyers regarding the quality and reliability of Indian offerings, thereby strengthening India’s position in key markets like the United States.
Chief Minister Khandu emphasized the transformative potential, stating: “The India-US interim trade framework will make Indian businesses more competitive in global markets.” He elaborated that it “aims to lower trade barriers and create a more streamlined process for Indian exporters, allowing them to participate more effectively in international commerce.” Highlighting cost benefits, he added: “The framework has the potential to reduce compliance burdens, streamline export procedures and bring down costs for consumers.”
On supporting MSMEs, Khandu noted: “The pact is also expected to be particularly beneficial for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). By facilitating easier integration into global value chains, the framework is designed to provide MSMEs with improved opportunities to expand their international presence, supporting sectoral growth and employment.”
Regarding standards alignment, he remarked: “Another significant aspect involves aligning Indian products with global standards. The harmonisation of regulations is anticipated to help Indian goods gain greater trust among international buyers.”
This development aligns with the broader economic reforms spearheaded by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the central government, aimed at bolstering India’s trade prowess and overcoming longstanding regulatory challenges that have impeded access to major global economies.
The interim framework not only promises enhanced market access but also underscores a commitment to building a resilient, quality-driven export ecosystem, paving the way for sustained economic growth and international collaboration.
