Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) has said that with Pakistan suspending all trade ties with India, including that routes through third countries, the two-way commerce will now come to a complete halt.  

Exporters’ body said following the terror attack in Pahalgam, which killed 26 people, mostly tourists, India took a series of measures including immediate shutting down of the Attari land-transit post, used for movement of certain kinds of goods. Besides, India has announced expulsion of Pakistani military attaches, and suspension of the Indus Water Treaty of 1960. In retaliation, Pakistan announced suspension of 'all trade' with India, including that routes through third countries. 

Commenting on the decision of the neighbouring country, FIEO President S C Ralhan said India's bilateral trade with Pakistan is miniscule and is just 0.06 per cent of India's total trade. He said ‘we have minuscule trade with Pakistan, which is constantly declining’. He noted that during April-January 2024-25, the same was not even $500 million as against the overall trade of over $800 billion in the same period. He added that the trade will now come to a complete standstil affecting supply of some key products to Pakistan, hitting their economy further.
