International trade to be impacted by Trump 2.0, global uncertainties: Experts
NEW DELHI: Global trade in 2025 is projected to undergo transformative shifts impacted by a variety of factors such as geopolitical tensions, a possible US-led trade war under Donald Trump, China’s industrial overcapacity, rising sustainability demands, and rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI).
Experts emphasised that Indian exporters and importers must collaborate closely with the government to navigate these challenges effectively.
They further highlighted the urgent need for India to prioritise its AI strategy, as the technology is poised to revolutionise trade logistics, supply chain management, and traditional trade patterns.
Deep Kapuria, trade expert and Chairman of Hi-Tech Gears said, “AI is fast emerging as an important vehicle for future trade’s journey ”
He added that digital transformation driven by artificial intelligence is set to boost not only services trade, “it may also create whole new categories of tradable AI-powered goods — from autonomous vehicles to robotics and beyond.”
While geopolitical tensions remain outside the private sector’s control, Kapuria stressed the importance of businesses, particularly in developing countries, meeting environmental and social sustainability standards.
“Complying with sustainability indicators is also important for companies to get integrated into GVCs (global value chains) as new laws such as EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive make it legally mandatory to ensure supply chain becomes sustainable,” Kapuria said.
SK Saraf, founder chairman of Technocraft Industries, urged Indian industries to invest in new age technologies to enhance competitiveness. He highlighted the opportunities for Indian exporters in the US market, particularly if the country imposes higher tariffs on Chinese goods under Trump’s administration.
“The exporters will have to look for ways to increase exports to the US as imposition of high tariffs on Chinese goods by America would open up huge potential for them,” Saraf said.
Kapuria cautioned that retaliatory measures from Washington could disrupt global supply chains, trade, and foreign direct investment (FDI). He also pointed to the recent series of global shocks including the Covid-19 pandemic, the Russia-Ukraine war, and tensions in the Middle East which have prompted nations to re explore their trade relationships and seek partnerships aligned with their economic and security priorities.

India-Nepal Inter-Governmental Committee Meeting on trade transit and cooperation to combat unauthorised trade concludes in Kathmandu
KATHMANDU : The India-Nepal Inter-Governmental Committee (IGC) on Trade, Transit, and Cooperation to Combat Unauthorised Trade was held in Kathmandu from January 10-11, 2025.
India has showed concerns over the problems faced by its milk exporters in Nepal, with the neighboring country agreeing to explore the possibility of facilitating imports of specific products like whey and cheese.
Secretary, Department of Commerce, Government of India, Shri Sunil Barthwal led the Indian delegation which included senior officials from various Ministries and the Embassy of India in Kathmandu. The Nepali side was headed by Secretary, Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Supplies, Government of Nepal, Mr Gobinda Bahadur Karkee, accompanied by representatives from different Nepali Ministries and Departments.
“The Indian side highlighted the problems faced in milk exports to Nepal. The Nepali side agreed to consider the request of the Indian side positively for milk products not adequately produced in Nepal such as whey and cheese,” the commerce ministry said.
This meeting of the IGC, a bilateral mechanism aimed at strengthening trade and investment ties, carried out a comprehensive review of the whole gamut of bilateral trade and economic relationship. Both sides reviewed mutual market access issues, IPR and duty related issues. The agenda also included discussions on review of the Treaty of Transit and the Treaty of Trade, proposed amendments to existing agreements, the harmonization of standards and the synchronized development of trade infrastructure including the electrification of the RaxaulBirgunj rail line.
During the meeting, the Indian side informed that the request of Nepal for supply of 200,000 MT wheat had been accepted. The Nepali side expressed its appreciation to the Indian side for its continued support in ensuring the supply of essential commodities to Nepal.
At the Nepali side’s request, the Indian side agreed that as per prevailing regulations of Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, maximum axle weight of 18.5 tonnes for two axle vehicles and 28 tonnes for three axle vehicles may also be applicable to Nepali vehicles with respect to the cargoin-transit on Kakarbhitta (Nepal)-Banglabandha
(Bangladesh) via Phulbari (India) route. In response to Nepali side’s requests, the Indian side informed that Sal Seeds and Chayote have been included in the Plant Quarantine Order of India. The request for Jatamasi –Root extract; Sugandhkokila berry extracts; Sugandhwal Rhizome extract and Timur berry extracts into the list of Processed Items (Plant Products) has also been accepted.
At the Indian side’s request, Nepali side expressed openness to reviewing the documentation regarding the reclassification of products like EPAQUE and POLYHIDE 28 in their technical systems. The Indian side highlighted the problems faced in milk exports to Nepal. The Nepali side agreed to consider the request of the Indian side positively for milk products not adequately produced in Nepal such as whey and cheese.
The meeting welcomed bilateral initiatives aimed at reinforcing the seamless cross-border connectivity between India and Nepal including through construction of new Integrated Check Posts and railway links. Both sides expressed a commitment to taking forward bilateral connectivity, reflecting the shared vision of prosperous bilateral trade. Both sides agreed to form a Joint Working Group for discussion on the acceptance of Online CoO with Nepal and SAFTA
A meeting of the Inter-Governmental Sub-Committee (IGSC) on Trade, Transit, and Cooperation to Combat Unauthorised Trade at the level of Joint Secretary had earlier met from 12-13 January 2024 in Kathmandu.
Railways targets 80% of coal freight
NEW DELHI: Indian Railways is set to redouble efforts to increase freight movement, with coal loading witnessing 8–9 per cent increase in both volume and value terms Other major freight categories like cement, raw materials and imported coal witnessed a decline in loading, according to the latest (January first week) figures from the national transporter.
Earnings from coal loading (including imported coal) account for nearly 50 per cent of the Railways’ freight earnings.
Coal loading (excluding imported coal) until the first week of January 2025 was around 528 million tonnes (mt), up by 41-odd mt year-on-year Earnings from coal loading stood at Rs. 59,100 crore, up by around Rs. 4,709 crore.
Imported coal loading declined by about 10 per cent y-o-y in volume terms. Loading until January 5 stood at 74.38 mt, down by 9–10 mt from the same period a year ago. However, earnings from the segment plunged 18 per cent to Rs. 7,210 crore.
The other freight categories that saw an increase in loading included refined petroleum products and containers.
Freight earnings until December were Rs. 1,25,109 crore, up by about 3.5 per cent y-o-y Coal Logistics plan
A senior Railways official said that as part of the
National Coal Logistics Plan — which aims to increase the country’s annual coal production to 1.5 billion tonnes by FY30 — about 37 railway projects have been identified to plug critical gaps. One lakh additional wagons would be needed for the projected 86 per cent of coal evacuation by rail by FY2030.
“The Ministry of Railways has undertaken the procurement of these wagons for coal evacuation,” the official said, adding that an origin-destination study of coal movement is currently underway, based on congestion analysis and other scientific data.
This had led to the identification of gaps in railway infrastructure in the blocks currently in operation and those set to be operationalised for the country’s peak production requirement.
Coastal movement
Incidentally, there is a suggestion to increase coastal movement of coal from 40 mt per annum to about 120 mtpa, for which critical railway infrastructure gaps have been identified.
These gaps include the need for rail-over-rail in Cuttack and the four-lining (to be upgraded to four tracks) of the Cuttack-Paradip railway line.
“Authorities of Paradip, Dhamra and Gangavaram port are taking measures to enhance their coal handling capabilities,” a second official said.
VOC Port sees significant growth in edible oil handling
TOOTHUKUDI: V.O. Chidambaranar Port in Tuticorin achieved remarkable growth in handling edible oil.
In this financial year 2024-25, till December last year, the Port has handled 3, 73,393 tonnes of edible oil (2, 97,132 tonnes of palm oil and 76,261 tonnes of sunflower oil), compared to 3,09,229 tonnes during the same period in the previous year, achieving an impressive 20.75% growth.
The Port’s commitment to enhancing its operational capacity and facilitating smooth trade has led to impressive growth in edible oil handling over the years, a statement said on Saturday.
Being a vibrant seaport in southern India, it handles a wide array of cargo like coal, containers, limestone, windmill blades and accessories, fertilizers and raw materials, construction materials, and edible oil including palm oil and sunflower oil.
As part of the Port-led development initiative under the Coastal Employment Unit, envisioned by the Sagarmala program of the Ministry of Ports, Shipping, and Waterways, the Port provides land to support various portbased industries One of the key beneficiaries, Kaleesuwari Agro Industries Private Limited, has established a refinery plant and storage tanks in Portland. Crude edible oil, sourced from countries such as South Korea, is refined, stored, and packaged here for domestic
consumption. Additionally, KTV Health Food Pvt. Ltd. has set up dedicated storage tanks exclusively for crude and refined palm oil. Crude palm oil, imported from Indonesia and Malaysia, is transported through pipelines to their refinery in Thoothukudi SIPCOT, where it is refined and packaged for domestic use.
Commending the achievement, Mr. Susanta Kumar Purohit, Chairperson, stated that this achievement underscores the trust and confidence of our stakeholders, the dedication of our workforce and the strategic vision driving our Port’s development. By providing state-of-theart infrastr ucture and seamless connectivity, ‘we have enabled our partners to thrive and contribute to this remarkable growth’, he said.
China saw record Annual Exports in 2024
BEIJING: China's exports surged to a record high in 2024, state media reported recently, as the prospect of biting tariffs imposed by US president-elect Donald Trump looms.
Overseas shipments represented a rare bright spot in China's economy last year as sluggish domestic consumption and a prolonged crisis in the property sector dragged on growth.
Total exports last year "exceeded 25 trillion yuan for the
first time, reaching 25.45 trillion yuan ($3.47 trillion), a year-on-year increase of 7.1 percent", state broadcaster CCTV said.
Imports totalled 18.39 trillion yuan, a rise of 2.3 percent on-year, CCTV said, adding that combined trade swelled five percent to reach a record 43.85 trillion yuan.
Trump imposed sweeping tariffs on China during his first term in office and has threatened even heftier levies when he returns to the White House next week.
India Budget: GTRI calls for simplied customs duty structure in Union Budget 2025
NEW DELHI: Union Budget: The Indian government should simplify the customs duty structure by reducing the number of slabs from over 40 to 5 in the upcoming Budget for the next fiscal year, GTRI said. It should also ensure that raw materials are taxed lower than finished goods in the upcoming Budget to reduce import costs, boost manufacturing, and increase exports, the think tank GTRI said.
GTRI called for an inter-ministerial review of tariff policies to refine India's framework, avoid international scrutiny, and align tariffs with national goals.
GTRI suggested lowering India's average tariff to about 10%, saying this could be done without a significant revenue loss.
Currently, 85% of tariff revenue comes from just 10% of product categories, while 60% of product categories contribute less than 3% of the revenue.
The report noted that customs duties, once a major revenue source for the government, now account for only 6.4% of gross tax revenue, compared to corporate tax (26.8%), income tax (29.7%), and GST (27.8%).
Given this decline, GTRI suggested that customs duties are no longer a key revenue source and should instead be used strategically to support domestic manufacturing and global trade.
"Simplifying the tariff structure by reducing slabs from over 40 to 5, capping maximum tariffs at 50%, and ensuring raw materials are taxed lower than finished goods would foster economic growth, reduce import reliance, and promote
exports," said the report, prepared by GTRI Founder Ajay Srivastava and Trade Expert Satish Reddy.
The report also recommended ending IGST, cess, and Basic Customs duty exemptions under the MOOWR (Manufacture and Other Operations in Warehouse) scheme. This would support local capital goods manufacturers and align with the Make in India initiative.
Currently, the scheme allows duty-free import of machinery, even if the goods produced using that machinery are sold domestically.
"This creates an unfair disadvantage for local capital goods manufacturers, who must pay GST on machinery sold in India. Additionally, firms outside the MOOWR scheme pay full import duties and IGST when importing machinery for domestic sales," the report said.
It further suggested reforms to the regulatory framework of Customs Cargo Service Providers (CCSPs) to reduce operational costs and improve trade logistics.
The government should bear the costs of customs officers performing sovereign duties instead of passing these expenses on to CCSPs, the report said. This would help reduce trade expenses.
The report also emphasized the need to rescind outdated customs notifications and replace them with self-contained, clear duty structures.
"Providing a single, comprehensive duty sheet will make customs processes more transparent and business-friendly," it said.
