India, Aug. 18 -- The Government of India has issued a release:
India's FTA journey is moving from expanding its network of agreements to making fuller use of the market access. Recent export performance shows the growing commercial importance of FTA partners. A shift is visible in early export gains, rising preferential CoO issuance and a wider range of exports to these markets. This indicates that more businesses are beginning to engage with opportunities created by the agreements. The transition is also being supported by government initiatives that help exporters access preferential benefits and enter new markets.
