India Joins US and 13 Economies in Joint Statement to Address Global Excess Capacity
India joined the United States and 13 other economies in signing a joint ministerial statement to address structural excess capacity and production in key manufacturing sectors. The statement, issued after G20 Trade Ministerial discussions and OECD Trade Committee meetings, calls for eliminating non-market policies that distort markets and contribute to overproduction. The initiative aims to coordinate global action through sectoral platforms, focusing on sectors like automobiles, electric vehicles, chemicals, semiconductors, and solar panels. Notably, several G20 members, including China and Brazil, did not sign the statement. The US continues a related investigation into excess capacity involving some signatories, including India, with findings expected by March 2027.
