The study focuses on India‘s role in economic cooperation in South Asia. It explores: what role India has played in conclusion of different trading arrangements in the region; and how far India has dispelled the economic concerns of smaller regional countries (SRCs). India played leading role in conclusion of SAPTA and SAFTA as well as bilateral trade arrangements with Bhutan, Bangladesh, Maldives, Nepal and Sri Lanka. The agreements with Nepal and Sri Lanka encountered difficulties after showing initial successes. SRCs including Bangladesh and Pakistan face obstacles in enhancing their exports to India. New Delhi has so far not taken enough measures to address the concerns of the SRCs. The prevailing tariffs, non-tariff and para-tariff barriers impede access to Indian market for regional products. The resultant widening trade imbalances strain relations between India and SRCs and also impede the development of overall regional cooperation process in South Asia.
