Request for Inputs on Trade Negotiations with Peru and Chile
|
Dear Members,
Greetings from CHEMEXCIL!
This is to inform you that the Department of Commerce, Government of India, is actively engaging in trade negotiations with Chile and Peru.
-
India–Chile: India signed a Preferential Trade Agreement (PTA) with Chile in 2006, which was expanded in 2016 and implemented from May 2017. The negotiations for the India–Chile Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) began in April 2025, and the second round is expected shortly.
-
India–Peru: Negotiations for the India–Peru Trade Agreement began in 2017. Seven rounds have been held so far, the most recent in April 2024. The eighth round is scheduled to take place soon.
In preparation for this consultation, members are requested to share their inputs on:
-
Offensive interests (i.e., items/areas where India should seek enhanced market access or tariff concessions)
-
Defensive interests (i.e., areas/products where protection is needed from import competition)
These inputs are vital to ensure that your sector’s interests are adequately represented during the negotiation rounds.
We request you to send your submissions by 8th July 2025 to Ms Parul Gupta at ad.del@chemexcil.in with copy to Ms Amrita at amrita@chemexcil.in .
We look forward to your valuable feedback.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
Raghuveer Kini
Director General
CHEMEXCIL
