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.
