3rd Annual Trade & Supply Chain Finance Summit 2026
India is poised to become a central force in global trade as a preferred manufacturing hub for electronics, pharmaceuticals, automotive and green technology and a leader in digital trade and services. Driven by structural reforms, digital infrastructure, and trade agreements, there is growing recognition that India will be instrumental in shaping the next phase of international trade. With the world's most advanced digital public infrastructure (DPI) and a thriving fintech ecosystem, India is already at the heart of reimagining working capital.
The India trade finance market is valued at USD 2.72 billion in 2025 and is forecasted to reach USD 3.88 billion by 2030, advancing at a 7.39% CAGR. Government export-push schemes, a maturing digital - payments backbone, and widening credit access for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) continue to accelerate growth. Revised FEMA rules now let overseas branches of Indian banks open INR accounts for non-residents, enabling direct rupee settlement and lowering reliance on costly correspondent banking networks. A widening MSME working-capital gap, liberalization at Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT City), and the rise of ESG-linked lending create additional revenue pools for incumbents and fintech newcomers.
The 3rd Annual Trade & Supply Chain Finance Summit 2026 will showcase the latest innovations for both domestic and cross-border financing, examining the future of technology enabled supply chain models, and driving the conversation on increasing access of trade finance in the region.
