Trade, Customs & Strategic Supply Chains

India's trade and customs sector underpins its ambition to become a $5 trillion economy, with the Ministry of Commerce & Industry and CBIC driving export promotion, tariff rationalisation, and supply chain resilience. Key initiatives include the Foreign Trade Policy 2023, PM GatiShakti, and PLI schemes aimed at deepening manufacturing integration into global value chains. Policy direction is focused on reducing logistics costs, expanding free trade agreements, and securing strategic supply chains in semiconductors, critical minerals, and pharmaceuticals.
