Sector-Wise Issues Faced by U.S. Companies in India

On April 7^th, AMCHAM submitted a formal representation to the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India, on behalf of U.S. companies operating across multiple sectors in India. This representation highlighted a range of challenges these companies are currently facing, including both tariff-related and non-tariff barriers that hinder smooth business operations and growth. The document provided detailed insights into how current trade policies and regulatory frameworks impact the ease of doing business for U.S. firms. The representation emphasized the lack of a level playing field in certain sectors, key concerns where domestic policies or preferential treatment may be disadvantaging foreign players despite their commitment to the Indian market and economy. By articulating these issues, AMCHAM, aims to foster a more transparent, equitable, and investment-friendly environment, ultimately encouraging greater bilateral trade and economic cooperation between the U.S. and India. The representation also underlined the willingness of U.S. companies to collaborate with Indian stakeholders in identifying and implementing reforms that support sustainable and inclusive growth.
