BRICS, FTAs, and Beyond: The New Map of Indian Trade

In 2025, India’s global trade landscape is evolving faster than ever — driven by new alliances, bilateral agreements, and emerging economic blocs. For international buyers, this shift means greater access, reduced duties, and diverse sourcing options from India.

With India’s active participation in BRICS+, and strategic Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) with key markets, the stage is set for a new era of exports — and Gurru Exim is ready to help global importers navigate this opportunity.

Here’s how the new map of Indian trade is opening doors for international sourcing — and what it means for your business.

The BRICS bloc — Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa — has now expanded to include countries like:

• Egypt

• UAE

• Iran

• Ethiopia

• Argentina

This expanded BRICS+, comprising over 40% of global GDP and population, is creating:

• New trade corridors between the Global South

• Currency diversification (moving away from USD in some bilateral trades)

• Reduced tariff barriers among member nations

✅ Gurru Exim Advantage:

As BRICS+ trade expands, we help buyers in these countries tap into India’s export ecosystem with:

• Localized packaging and documentation

• Currency-flexible payment terms

Multimodal shipping to BRICS+ ports

India has signed key FTAs with:

• UAE (CEPA) – 0% duty on 80%+ traded goods

• Australia (ECTA) – Tariff relief and customs simplification

• ASEAN – Deep regional integration with Southeast Asia

• Mauritius, Chile, Sri Lanka – Country-specific trade boosts

Upcoming negotiations are underway with:

• UK (India-UK FTA)

• European Union (India-EU FTA)

• GCC countries

🔍 What This Means for You as a Buyer:

• Lower import duties on many Indian products

• Simpler compliance with rules of origin and labeling

• Faster customs processing due to pre-negotiated protocols

Whether you’re based in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, or Asia, your landed cost on Indian products is likely to decrease significantly in 2025.

India’s trade incentives are boosting exports in:

• Agro commodities & spices

• Processed and dehydrated foods

• Botanicals, herbal powders & nutraceuticals

• Textiles & handicrafts

• Organic and sustainable products

At Gurru Exim, our exports of spices, jaggery, moringa, dehydrated goods, and chicory are witnessing growing demand, especially from FTA-friendly markets.

Some BRICS+ members are pushing for rupee-based trade, reducing dependency on volatile USD exchange rates. This enables faster settlements and localized pricing in regional currencies.

Gurru Exim is adapting to this change by:

• Exploring rupee trade options where feasible

• Offering advance pricing protection in volatile currency markets
