The following points were discussed during various meetings with TPO, Iran:

  • Iranian side highlighted the high duty on their saffron export to India which is suffering due to 0% import duty levied on Afghanistan as a result of LDC, FTA.
  • Iranian side is seeking technology transfer in textile sector and also wanted machinery and yarn for their consumption. They are also welcoming investment and joint ventures in this sector.
  • The Iranian side informed TPCI delegation about the increase demand in priority sectors such as Food & Agriculture, Textile, IT, Pharmaceuticals & Building & Construction products.
  • Modalities were discussed in the connection with signing the MOU between TPO and TPCI. This will help in facilitating the trade delegations and taking part in exhibitions in India and Iran.
  • This will open new avenues between two great friends India and Iran. This would surely be a great help for TPO to organise its activities in India. It will be mutually benefited for both the countries.
