Regional co-operation has been an important feature of trade policy in the post-war period. Europe was the first continent where regional economic co-operation developed. The movement towards greater regional economic cooperation among developing countries has emerged as an effective modality for promoting South – South Cooperation. The establishment of South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) is also an effort in this direction. Expansion of trade after the formation of SAARC needs to be evaluated periodically; such an evaluation will help to understand whether trade has really expanded more after the formation of SAARC, compared to the earlier phases. Hence, the main focus this study is to understand the problems of Indian trade with SARRC Region. All the nations have promised to move from SAPTA to SAFTA by the turn of the countries. It is yet to be seen whether they take all the necessary steps towards trade liberalizations to make the movement from SAPTA to SAFTA smooth.
