“With globalisation and increasing trade volumes, the industry is witnessing a surge in demand for various products and commodities. One prominent trend is the rise of e-commerce, which has facilitated cross-border transactions and provided new opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to engage in international trade. Additionally, there is a growing focus on diversifying export markets and product portfolios to reduce dependency on a single market or product,” he told F2F.
He emphasised that implementation of initiatives like the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and the introduction of e-Way bills have simplified the tax regime and improved compliance. “Bilateral and multilateral trade agreements have opened up new markets and increased market access for Indian exporters. To foster further growth, it would be beneficial to focus on reducing trade barriers, enhancing infrastructure, and investing in skill development to boost competitiveness in the global market,” Kharbanda added.
