India’s troubles at the WTO refuse to go away. Even as the country faces challenges at the international trade body from the US and the EU, a fresh complaint has been lodged against India -- this time by Japan. The Eastern nation is accusing India of “continuously and systematically’ raising import duties on certain electronic items, in excess of the prescribed import duty ceiling. Japan seeks consultation with India under the WTO’s dispute settlement mechanism and is yet another international trade problem for next week’s fresh government to grapple with. The US, on the other hand, has agreed to give India a breather, extending GSP trade benefits to India until the new government is formed. The decision will be a big relief for Indian exporters, even as fresh trade data from the RBI showed a very marginal 0.64% growth in exports in March. As the country waits with bated breath for the outcome of the General Elections, exporters will also take some solace from the news that GST refunds will likely be automated from June, resolving a major pain point for shippers suffering because of a credit crunch and stuck working capital.
