EEPC India holds open house session on India-US bilateral trade
New Delhi, June 13 (UNI) EEPC India, the country's apex engineering exports promotion body, on Friday held an Open House Session on the India-US Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA) here in which participating members shared that buyers in the US are delaying orders due to policy uncertainty, making it hard for businesses to plan and grow. Even as India and the US are holding bilateral trade agreement (BTA) talks, the US recently doubled tariffs under Section 232 — from 25 percent to 50 pc on steel, steel products, and aluminium. Auto components face a 25 pc duty, while other items are taxed at 10 pc. Unlike countries like Canada, Mexico, and the UK, India does not enjoy tariff exemptions from the US. This puts Indian exporters at a disadvantage, especially for low-margin products that are easily replaceable and sensitive to price changes, the speakers said. EEPC India chairman Pankaj Chadha, emphasised that while the BTA may take time, India must ensure that its final agreement is on par or better than those of other US trade partners. Aakash Shah, Vice Chairman of EEPC India, pointed out that India's penetration in the US engineering market remains low. India ranks only 13th among the US's engineering trade partners, with a modest 1.8 pc share. 'These small figures might offer India an opportunity to request more favourable trade terms under the ongoing BTA discussions to support its engineering exporters,' he noted. The aluminium industry raised concerns about high power costs in India, which make production expensive. In contrast, countries like Canada and those in Europe, which use cheaper renewable energy, can offer better prices and gain market share in the US. Producers in the Middle East, such as UAE and Bahrain, are also expanding rapidly. EEPC India members appreciated the Government's support in dealing with various challenges which hit the industry from time to time. Rajesh Agrawal, Special Secretary in the Department of Commerce and India's Chief Negotiator for the BTA was the chief guest at the session. UNI PC SSP
