‘India’s Exports’

Chapter is being reviewed.

Job creation is essential
in order to increase
the produces
for our people and
to earn more through Exports.

But India’s exports have underperformed,
to compare with not only country like China
but also like Bangaladesh.

The Small and Medium enterprises are exporting textiles from industrial belt areas
which provide most Jobs.
But it is hard to fit into Global Levels,
which is also affected by GST.

Indian Labour force does not have
sufficient skills and labour regulations,
to make more efficient.

Our transport infrastructure is insufficient,
outdated and badly planned
to stay in competitive export markets.

Summary by Gita Gopinath & Amartya Lahiri :

Micro polcies such as trade agreements,
simpler documentation procedures at port,
improved credit access and the
industrial upgradation will help
to accelerate the growth
of our country.

The position of Labour is abundant
in India. Cheap laboour in India is attractive destination for all countries.

The scale of encouragement
for specific manufacturing sectors
like textiles and
electronics can be catalyst
for growth and for generating
employment level.

Exports are not growing Fast enough

Indian Goods exports rose
from 0.5% in 1992 to 1.7% in 2017.
Services sector rose from 0.5% to 3.4%
during the same period.

Where as, Chinese share of world
Exports rose from 1.8% to 12.8%.

The World as a whole exports
around 30% of its GDP;
India’s GDP continues
to below 20%.

In this book, Macro issues such as scale,
Fundamental Labour Reforms Better
Transportation Infrastructure require
to be done at this juncture are explaining
in brief.

Micro issues are to be looked at
with the points of Improving the
credit acess, Simplify the GST and
Trade Agreements with the EU, South
Asian Trade along with tariff are discussing
in this bookwith short notes.

Global Integrate with the
Electronics Industry and
Revitalize the Textiles
Industry are the specific issues
to be analysed and improved.

The Solution lies in with the
favourable macro economic
environment, to focus the
SME industries and to reform
the GST. Labour reform and
the country’s transport
infrastructure are to be
looked in details.

The above mentioned facts and
figures are pinpointing the exports
problem and solution in Nutshell.
