India’s Trade Policy Adapts to Fragmented Global Landscape, Focus on Sustainability( Sustainable)
India is proactively positioning itself as a pivotal player in a rapidly evolving global trade landscape, according to recent analysis from June 9, 2025. As protectionism, climate imperatives, and geopolitical rivalries increasingly reshape international commerce, India is not merely adapting to these changes but actively aiming to shape new global trade rules, with a distinct emphasis on sustainability. This forward-thinking and proactive stance is particularly critical as major economies, like the US, continue to diversify their supply chains away from traditional partners like China, seeking more resilient and ethically aligned sources.
India’s robust bilateral trade with the US touched an impressive $131.84 billion in the financial year 2024-25. Importantly, India’s merchandise export dependency on the US remains relatively low at just 18%, a strategic advantage that grants it significant negotiating latitude on the global stage. This inherent independence allows India to align its trade strategy more effectively with emerging global values, particularly those centered around environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria. A key component of this strategy is the nation’s focus on a “circular bioeconomy,” which involves innovative approaches to transforming agricultural byproducts into valuable exportable goods such as biodegradable textiles, plant-based chemicals, and biofertilizers. This initiative clearly showcases a viable and impactful path towards green industrial growth. Global investors are increasingly prioritizing factors beyond mere cost-effectiveness, placing a high value on resilience, ESG compliance, and regulatory predictability, making India’s sustainable ambitions highly attractive for foreign direct investment. Furthermore, the country’s ambitious and expansive infrastructure investment plan, projected at approximately $1.723 trillion between FY 2024-2030, further underpins its growth trajectory in crucial sectors like renewable energy and electric vehicles. This comprehensive approach provides a stable and supportive environment for future trade partnerships.
