Foreign Trade Policy 2004-09
New government has decided to terminate the five-year Exim Policy, 2002-07 and replace it with a Foreign Trade Policy for a five-year term beginning this fiscal year on the 31st August 2004
1. Strategy:
(a) It is for the first time that a comprehensive Foreign Trade Policy is being notified. The Foreign Trade Policy takes an integrated view of the overall development of India’s foreign trade.
(b) The objective of the Foreign Trade Policy is two-fold:
(i) to double India’s percentage share of global merchandise trade by 2009; and
(ii) to act as an effective instrument of economic growth by giving a thrust to employment generation, especially in semi-urban and rural areas.
(c) The key strategies are:
(i) Unshackling of controls;
(ii) Creating an atmosphere of trust and transparency;
Simplifying procedures and bringing down transaction costs;
Adopting the fundamental principle that duties and levies should not be exported;
Identifying and nurturing different special focus areas to facilitate development of India as a global hub for manufacturing, trading and services.
