NEW DELHI - The United States does not believe that India is eligible for the grant of a special trade privilege but is renegotiating its terms after revoking the status earlier this year, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross told Reuters on Thursday.
Citing lack of reciprocal market access, the United States stripped India from the Generalized System of Preferences program that allowed duty-free entry for up to $5.6 billion worth of its annual exports to America. “If we can solve GSP, that’s a very good step towards free trade,” Ross told Reuters in an interview on the sidelines of the India Economic Summit in New Delhi.
In February, India’s new investment rules for the e-commerce sector jolted Amazon.com Inc and Walmart’s Flipkart as the companies were forced to change their business structures to continue to operate in the country.

Ford expects to book Q3 impairment charges of up to $900 million on India fixed assetsFord Motor Co. said Tuesday it expects to book an impairment charge of $800 million to $900 million related to fixed assets in its India Automotive operations. The charge is required based on held-for-sale impairment testing conducted in connection with the pending sale of assets to a joint venture in India that Ford is creating with Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. , the company said in a regulatory filing. The charge will not result in cash expenditures, said the filing. Ford said it still expects about $11 billion in potential EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) charges for a global overhaul of its operations, with a negative cash effect of about $7 billion.
