The Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) recently announced the taking charge of Mr SC Ralhan as President.

Mr Ralhan brings with him decades of expertise and a strategic vision to strengthen India’s position in global trade.

A stalwart in India’s international trade sector, he has over 50 years of experience in exports, particularly in the engineering and hand tools industry.

As Managing Director of Sri Tools Industries Private Ltd, his deep industry insights and global market understanding will be instrumental in guiding Indian exporters through the ever-evolving international trade landscape.

Upon taking charge, Mr Ralhan emphasized his commitment to tackling the ongoing tariff wars and trade barriers that have impacted Indian exporters.

He outlined a proactive strategy that includes: engaging with global trade bodies and policymakers to negotiate favourable tariff structures and reduce trade restrictions.; promoting export diversification to mitigate risks associated with over-dependence on specific markets: strengthening FIEO’s role as a bridge between exporters and the government;  ensuring swift policy interventions to counter unfair trade practices and enhancing global competitiveness by advocating for incentives, technology-driven exports, and supply chain resilience.

“At a time when global trade dynamics are shifting rapidly, Indian exporters must be equipped with the right policies, strategies, and support to compete effectively. I am committed to working closely with the government and industry stakeholders to ensure a fair and favourable trade environment for our exporters,” said Mr Ralhan.

Similarly Mr. Ravikant Kapur took charge as Vice President, marking the beginning of a dynamic leadership tenure from April 1, 2025, to March 31, 2027.
