India faces WTO scrutiny over import curbs, quality control

India's curbs on pulses drew scrutiny from Canada, EU.

(MINT)

India featured prominently in a draft report for 2025 released on Thursday by the WTO's committee on market access among countries whose policies were challenged.

Per the report, India’s quantitative restrictions on pulses came under repeated scrutiny from Australia, Canada and the European Union (EU).

Its quality control orders (QCO) on tyres and air conditioners also attracted queries from the EU, Indonesia, Chinese Taipei (Taiwan) and Thailand, which argued that such measures could limit market access and increase the compliance burden for exporters.
