The World Trade Organization (WTO) significantly influenced the Indian economy since its establishment in 1995.

India's membership in the WTO required it to liberalize its trade policy, including reducing tariffs and non-tariff trade barriers.

WTO membership has given Indian exporters better access to foreign markets by lowering trade barriers in other countries.

This improved market access has facilitated the growth of Indian exports, particularly in sectors such as textiles, information technology, and pharmaceuticals.
