China s tariff cut plans may help India: Analysts
The jury may still be out on whether China can pacify the Trump administration with its plans to cut tariff on cars and open up the financial sector, but any easing in the trade war raises the prospects of global trade growth, which would ultimately benefit India, trade analysts said on Tuesday. Although much of Tuesday s announcement by China is actually a reiteration of the past, and given that the proof of the pudding is in the eating, analysts said any move to offer better access in pharmaceuticals, agriculture, marine items and information technology would help India, which has been able to supply mostly raw inputs to the giant neighbour. China s plan to better protect intellectual property rights could encourage Indian pharma companies to set up shop there.Posted On:11-Apr-2018
