Roundtable flags challenges in trade policy, calls for sectoral consensus
MUMBAI: The Centre for Policy Research and Governance (CPRG) flagged key challenges in India's trade policy at a roundtable held in Mumbai on Tuesday, calling for stronger coordination across industry, finance, and policy institutions to address rising trade barriers. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The session, part of CPRG's ongoing Trade Roundtable Series, focused on the impact of tariff and non-tariff hurdles on steel and aluminum industries and the role of trade finance in ensuring resilience. Hosted at the National Stock Exchange (NSE), the roundtable brought together representatives from financial institutions, manufacturing firms, policymakers, and regulatory bodies. Discussions highlighted how India must adopt a proactive and strategic approach to protect its economic interests amid shifting global trade dynamics. Ashish Chauhan, managing director and CEO of NSE, underlined the potential of India's services sector. 'Our strategy need not be reactionary. While we may work on improving goods exports with finance, technology upgradation, incentives, policies and trade deals, our services and experience-driven sectors have boundless potential,' he said. Senior RSS functionary, Sunil Ambekar, noted the importance of recalibrating India's trade position. 'India has always welcomed international trade, but it's now vital to assert our interests with clarity and strength,' he said. 'This is the right time to strategically renegotiate our trade positions in line with national priorities.' Participants also discussed trade-related priorities such as enhancing the competitiveness of GIFT City, integrating the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) into international trade finance, and aligning trade benefits across multinational corporations and MSMEs. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now CPRG director Ramanand said the roundtable was aimed at fostering cross-sector alignment. 'Continuous dialogue between economists, industry, and institutions is essential to navigate the complexities of the global trade landscape. Our approach should be to build consensus among all stakeholders while also holding India's economic interests on priority,' he said. The CPRG Trade Roundtable Series will continue with sector-focused discussions. The next session is scheduled for June 30 in Delhi and will involve stakeholders from manufacturing and startup sectors.

Energy sector futures: NSE to launch electricity futures in coming weeks; fees waived for first 6 months
The National Stock Exchange (NSE) is set to launch electricity futures contracts within the next two to three weeks, offering power sector participants a tool to hedge against price volatility. The move comes after the exchange secured all necessary approvals from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) last month. The product is designed to serve a wide range of users, including power buyers, sellers, traders, industrial consumers and retailers and enable them to manage electricity price risks more effectively. 'We have all approvals in are talking to all stakeholders. Our internal team is fully 2-3 weeks we will announce the launch date,' said Harish K Ahuja, NSE's head of sustainability, power, carbon markets and listing. Once launched, the contract will become operational within days. Each one-month electricity futures contract will represent 50 MWh, equivalent to 50,000 units of electricity, and will be priced using the 30-day weighted average spot price across three platforms: Indian Energy Exchange Ltd, Hindustan Power Exchange Ltd, and HPL Electric and Power Ltd. The monthly contracts will be available year-round, starting on the first business day of each month and expiring a day before the end of that month. Tick size has been set at Re 1 per MWh, with a maximum order size of 2,500 MWh, PTI reported. To promote the product, NSE will waive transaction charges on electricity futures trades for the first six months following the launch, NSE chief business development officer Sriram Krishnan said. The exchange is also exploring a Contract for Difference (CfD) model to help renewable energy projects achieve predictable revenue streams, a crucial step in India's journey toward its net-zero targets. According to Niti Aayog, India needs over $250 billion in annual investment until 2047 to meet its decarbonisation goals. By 2030, renewable energy is expected to make up more than half of the country's installed power capacity. A vibrant and efficient electricity derivatives market is key to drawing in the scale of climate finance India needs, both from within the country and from global investors. As the first Indian stock exchange to set up an electricity trading platform with the launch of Power Exchange India Limited (PXIL) in 2008, NSE brings deep expertise in both spot and derivatives markets. This experience puts it in a strong position to develop a well-integrated and liquid electricity derivatives ecosystem.
