India actively discussing trade pact with US, say minister
Agency: Last Updated: New Delhi, Aug 5 (PTI) India is actively involved in the discussions with the US on the proposed bilateral trade agreement (BTA) with an aim to expand trade and investment, Parliament was informed on Tuesday. In a written reply to the Lok Sabha, Minister of State for Commerce and Industry Jitin Prasada said India-US bilateral trade agreement negotiations were launched in March 2025. Five rounds of negotiations have been held, the last being from July 14-18th, 2025, at Washington, he said. The US team is visiting India from August 25 to hold the next round of trade talks. 'To safeguard the interests of farmers and the domestic industry, international trade negotiations allow for the inclusion of sensitive, negative, or exclusion lists — categories of goods on which limited or no tariff concessions are granted," he said. In addition, in case of surge in imports and injury to the domestic industry, a country is allowed to take recourse to trade remedial measures such as anti-dumping and safeguards on imports. During 2021-25, the US was India's largest trading partner. The US accounts for about 18 per cent of India's total goods exports, 6.22 per cent in imports, and 10.73 per cent in bilateral trade. With America, India had a trade surplus (the difference between imports and exports) of USD 35.32 billion in goods in 2023-24. It was USD 41 billion in 2024-25 and USD 27.7 billion in 2022-23. In 2024-25, bilateral trade between India and the US reached USD 186 billion. India exported USD 86.5 billion in goods while importing USD 45.3 billion. In a separate reply, he said the US did not accept India's request for consultations under an agreement of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) concerning American tariffs on steel, aluminium, and related derivative products, Parliament was informed on Tuesday. The US has maintained that these measures were introduced on the grounds of national security, Prasada said in a written reply to the Lok Sabha. India, however, considers these measures to be safeguard actions that should have been notified and subjected to consultations under the WTO's Agreement on Safeguards (AoS). 'India has accordingly reserved its right to suspend substantially equivalent concessions (right to impose equal trade measures in response) due to the US's non-compliance with its obligations under the AoS," he said. In another reply, the minister said India has not taken any decision to suspend or restrict trade or tourism activities with Turkey and Azerbaijan. However, the import from Turkey has declined from USD 3.78 billion in 2023-24 to USD 2.99 billion in 2024-25. The major items imported from Turkey during 2024-25 include Petroleum Crude, Gold, Inorganic Chemicals, Granite, Natural Stones and Aircraft & Spacecraft parts. The major items of import from Azerbaijan during 2024-25 include Finished Leather, Medical and Scientific Instruments, Raw Hides and Skins, Fruits/Vegetables Seeds and Hand Tools, Cutting Tools of Metals.

India-UK trade deal: India eyes three-fold surge in seafood exports
Ahmedabad, Seafood exports from India to the United Kingdom would witness a three-fold jump in the coming years after the removal of duty on fisheries products under the India-UK free trade agreement, according to industry leaders. Since Gujarat, having a coastline of nearly 2,300 kilometers, is one of the key states contributing to India's seafood exports, industry leaders believe that the increase in India's exports will also help Gujarat-based fishermen, exports and the entire ecosystem attached with this industry. Gujarat-based exporter Jagdish Fofandi said the relief in export duty would take India's seafood export to the UK from current levels of ₹ 1,000 crore to nearly ₹ 3,000 crore in three years. At present, the UK levies 8.9 per cent export duty on Indian seafood products such as fish and shrimp, said Fofandi, former national president of Seafood Exporters Association of India . "Now, after the signing of the trade agreement, there will be zero duty on such products exported to the UK from India. The UK imports seafood worth USD 5.4 billion from across the world every year. "However, India's share in this basket is just 2.2 per cent, which comes to ₹ 1,000 crore at present," said Fofandi. With the reduction in the duty, Indian seafood items will be cheaper by nearly 8 to 9 per cent for the buyers in the UK, making Indian products more competitive in comparison to other countries, said Fofandi, former vice president of Marine Products Export Development Authority . "We are assuming that in the next three years, there is a potential growth of 300 per cent. Thus, I am seeing that our export will go up from the current level of ₹ 1,000 crore to ₹ 3,000 crore. Since Gujarat is a major contributing state, this new market will certainly benefit our fishermen, exporters and everyone associated with this business," said Fofandi. Shrimp constitutes 70 per cent of the total export basket of Indian seafood. However, it is facing stress from US and other markets at present, said Fofandi. "Opening up of the UK market due to this trade deal, it will absorb some of the shock which other markets are creating to Indian exporters. This will particularly help the shrimp farming industry of south Gujarat," said Fofandi. While south Gujarat is more into shrimp farming, the coastline of Saurashtra region contributes in exporting fish caught from the sea, said Fofandi, adding that some varieties of fish exported from that region have become popular among Indians and Chinese settled in the UK. According to Ketan Suyani, Gujarat-based regional president of SEAI, this trade agreement will eventually help fishermen in getting better prices for the catch. At present, Gujarat's fisheries export is roughly around ₹ 5,000 crore. Of these, entire Europe accounts for nearly 40 per cent while the remaining 60 per cent goes to the Gulf, China and other Far-east countries, said Suyani. "This trade agreement will eventually benefit Gujarat fishermen because the demand for Indian seafood products will increase after the duty reduction. Fishermen will get better prices with the increase in export quantity," he said. In July, India and the United Kingdom signed the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement , a bilateral free trade agreement. CETA provides an unprecedented duty-free access to 99 per cent of India's exports to the UK, covering nearly 100 per cent of the trade value. This includes labour-intensive sectors such as textiles, leather, marine products, gems and jewellery, and toys as well as high-growth sectors like engineering goods, chemicals, and auto components.

ChrysCapital gets CCI nod to acquire majority stake in bakery chain Theobroma
New Delhi, Aug 5 (PTI) Fair trade regulator Competition Commission on Tuesday cleared homegrown private equity major ChrysCapital's proposal to acquire a majority stake in Mumbai-based bakery chain Theobroma. ChrysCapital is acquiring the stake in Theobroma through its affiliates, Infinity Partners, Aqua Investments Ltd and Atreides Investments BV. 'The proposed combination relates to the acquisition of certain equity shareholding of Theobroma Foods Pvt Ltd (Theobroma) by Infinity Partners, Aqua Investments Limited and Atreides Investments BV," the Competition Commission of India (CCI) said in a release. Theobroma is engaged in the business of manufacturing and sale of bakery and confectionery products, food and beverages through its patisseries and stores present in over 30 cities in India and via its online platform and other online sales channels. 'CCI approves acquisition of certain equity shareholding of Theobroma Foods Pvt Ltd by Infinity Partners, Aqua Investments Ltd and Atreides Investments BV," the regulator said in a post on X. According to reports, ChrysCapital is set to acquire a 90 per cent stake in Theobroma Foods for an estimated Rs 2,410 crore. ChrysCapital signed a deal to acquire a majority stake in Theobroma from its promoters and the current existing investor ICICI Venture, as per reports. However, the founders will retain around 10 per cent holding in the company. ICICI Venture owns nearly a 42 per cent stake in Theobroma. It had invested nearly USD 20 million in 2017. Theobroma was founded in 2004 by sisters Kainaz Messman Harchandrai and Tina Messman Wykes. Deals beyond a certain threshold require approval from the regulator, which keeps a tab on unfair business practices as well as promotes fair competition in the marketplace.
