WTO and India India, being a founder member of the WTO, has been following the WTO decisions. We can point out some undesirable impacts of the WTO regime on Indian economy. These are noted below: 1. Under the WTO regime, Indian industries are seriously affected. For example, the government of India allowed the import of second hand cars into India. This policy has seriously hit Indian automobile industry. Recently Chinese goods are flooding the Indian markets, thus adversely affecting quite a large range of consumer goods industries. 2. Small Scale Industries (SSIs) are loosing their markets to cheap imported products. A large number of SSIs units are becoming sick or have closed down. In soft drinks the entry of powerful Coca Cola and Pepsi have eliminated practically all small units engaged in the manufacture of aerated water.
