Spoke at the G20 Trade Ministers' Meeting session on 'Structural Excess Capacity and Production'.
Highlighted that distortion arises where concentration follows hidden subsidies & support, and that India addresses dumping and predatory pricing through WTO measures such as antidumping & countervailing duties, based on evidence.
Underscored that on the issue of excess capacity, a common, evidence-based understanding is essential, and capacity expansion driven by legitimate development needs should be recognised accordingly.

At the G20 Trade Ministers' Meeting Session on the Most-Favoured-Nation Principle, I stressed that the MFN treatment guarantees that the smallest trader receives the same terms as the largest.
Underlined that India cannot support making MFN conditional on obligations chosen by some members of the WTO. Also reiterated that as we strengthen the multilateral trading system, preserving this balance can reinforce confidence, predictability & inclusiveness.

Trade among BRICS countries has grown from USD 84 billion in 2003 to nearly USD 1.2 trillion in 2024, reflecting the growing scale of trade and economic engagement among member economies.
At the BRICS Business Forum 2026, Commerce Secretary Shri @RajeshAgrawal94 highlighted the opportunities emerging from this expanding market, alongside India’s goods exports of USD 438 billion in 2025.

A strong multilateral trading system is essential to sustaining global trade while ensuring that development remains at its core, with the WTO playing a central role.
At the BRICS Business Forum 2026, Commerce Secretary Shri @RajeshAgrawal94 highlighted the importance of strengthening the rules underpinning global trade and recognising the role of MSMEs in global value chains. Ensuring greater participation of these businesses can help make the gains from expanding global trade more broad-based.
