NEW DELHI: Amid rising expectations of higher tariffs on Chinese goods, exporters are in talks with govt to be ready to tap into possible opportunities across at least half-a-dozen sectors, ranging from textiles and leather to chemicals, electronics, auto parts and toys, by partnering American trade bodies and creating awareness about Indian products in the US.
"These are sectors where we have built capacity and where we are competitive. We should be ready to take advantage of the opportunity if it arises," said Israr Ahmed, vice-president of industry lobby group Fieo. Toys alone offered a $1 billion opportunity in the US market in the coming few years.
