India Expands Trade Agreements, Arbitration, and Digital Infrastructure to Boost Global Economic Role
India is advancing its global economic engagement through trade agreements like the India-UK CETA, which facilitates duty-free exports and expands services access, especially for smaller businesses in regional cities. Concurrently, India is strengthening its arbitration framework via new bilateral investment treaties and free trade agreements. The country’s digital infrastructure, exemplified by UPI and Aadhaar, supports sovereign yet interoperable systems, a model India promotes within BRICS. Additionally, India's growing startup ecosystem and global economic reputation highlight its expanding influence amid evolving international trade and investment landscapes.
