Since its inception in 1992 and prior to that in its erstwhile incarnations of Trade Fair Authority of India and Trade Development Authority, ITPO has, for well over three decades, played a multi-faceted role in bringing out the strengths of the Indian economy through a focussed sevenband spectrum of activity.
The prism analogy of ITPO is appropriate in the context of its seven main activities that endeavour to carry the economy forward in the singular broadband of global competitiveness.
Likewise, the spectrum metaphor that ITPO's activities have come to connote is inherent in the merging of all theses diverse stands of activity into the organisational objective of facilitating consistently higher levels of India's external trade.
This assumes significance particularly at this juncture when the country is aspiring to reach the one percent share of world trade. The seven activities that constitute the spectrum are well defined and seek to facilitate the progression of the Indian economy towards the goal of rapid development.
