Challenges in Indian Export Trade Industry
- Sea piracy in the Gulf of Aden poses a significant risk to international trade, affecting over half of India's merchandise trade. New exporters and importers struggle to obtain insurance due to increased pirate attacks.
- Negative attitudes of overseas buyers towards Indian goods, especially from developed nations, impact exports. Buyers perceive Indian products as inferior in quality and service, leading to challenges for Indian exporters.
- Documentation formalities for exports have been simplified, reducing the number of mandatory documents required to three: airway bill, commercial invoice, and shipping bill or bill of export.
- Foreign exchange regulations dictate that exporters must realize sale proceeds in foreign currency within six months, creating challenges for exporters who may face delays or credit risks.
- Poor infrastructure in India hampers exporters' ability to secure orders and deliver goods on time, with inadequate port handling and transportation facilities discouraging exports.
- Trading blocks impose barriers on non-member countries like India, hindering exports by increasing tariff and non-tariff barriers. India has signed preferential agreements with Asian countries to mitigate these challenges.
- Exporter-related problems include delays in handling grievances, high pricing compared to other exporting countries, poor promotion mix, and quality-related issues, all contributing to demotivation among Indian exporters.
