India-Bangladesh: India has banned 42 % of goods imported from Bangladesh. This will give Bangladesh a shock of about 770 million US dollars (about 66 thousand crores). According to Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI), it is about 42 percent of imports of both countries. The ban issued by the Union Ministry of Commerce and Industry on Saturday after the instructions of the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) means that India will now import some things from Bangladesh in small quantities.
Impact on Garment Export of Bangladesh
Due to this step taken by the Government of India, only items like readymade clothes, processed food and plastic items from Bangladesh will be able to come to India from certain ports. The entry in India has been completely banned by the ground route of some goods.
For example, about $ 618 million readymade clothes imported from Bangladesh will now come from Kolkata and Nava Sheva ports. Earlier these clothes were also delivered to India by ground path. In such a situation, Bangladesh’s Garment Export in India is expected to have a huge impact.
Why did India take this step?
The GTRI report states that India has not taken this step alone, but is the answer to the action taken by Bangladesh. Let us know that Bangladesh has banned the import of many Indian goods from the end of the year 2024, such as the import of Indian thread has been banned from April 2025. The rules on shipment of many things were made strict such as rice.
The report also said that India has taken this step with China with the growing Yari of Bangladesh. Let me tell you that recently, Muhammad Yunus, the head of the interim government of Bangladesh, visited China. Going there, he said, “Seven states in the eastern part of India, called Seven Sisters, are surrounded by land and there is no way to reach the sea. We are alone for this entire region, we are the patron of the sea, so it is likely to expand the Chinese economy. ”During this time there was also an investment and cooperation agreement of $ 2.1 billion between the two countries.
The rhetoric made about India by going to China has now overshadowed Yunus because like Pakistan, Bangladesh’s economy has gone into the trough. To handle this, Bangladesh also recently sought a help of $ 762 million in front of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which is equal to about Rs 6,360 crore.
