India Targets 10% Global Merchandise Export Share by 2047, WTO Highlights Challenges
India aims to increase its share of global merchandise exports from about 1.8% in 2024 to around 10% by 2047, as outlined in a World Trade Organisation (WTO) report. This goal aligns with the Viksit Bharat vision, emphasizing export promotion through duty exemptions, rebate schemes, and expanded regional trade agreements. The WTO highlights the need for India to address structural challenges such as high trade costs, regulatory complexity, infrastructure gaps, and deeper global integration to sustain growth and achieve developed-nation status by 2047. The eighth WTO trade policy review of India is underway, with Commerce Secretary Rajesh Agarwal leading the delegation.
