India Plans Support Measures for Exporters Amid West Asia Trade Disruptions

Amid escalating tensions in West Asia following the US-Israel-Iran conflict, India’s Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal announced that the government is actively supporting exporters facing disruptions. An inter-ministerial group engages daily with exporters and coordinates with the shipping ministry and companies to address cargo delays, high freight costs, and insurance surcharges. The government plans to formalize relief measures through policy tools and the Export Promotion Mission to ensure India meets its international trade commitments despite logistical challenges in the region.
