Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India] : Following India’s successful conclusion and advancement of landmark Free Trade Agreements with the United Kingdom, the United States, and the European Union, the entertainment industry has expressed deep appreciation for the Government’s leadership in strengthening India’s global trade position. The agreements’ focus on intellectual property protection and digital trade facilitation is expected to open significant new pathways for Indian creative exports.
During a high-level consultation chaired by Hon’ble Commerce and Industry Minister Shri Piyush Goyal with Export Promotion Councils and industry bodies, a strategic proposal was formally placed to review India’s copyright framework — including extending the current 60-year protection period for cinematograph films and sound recordings to align with global standards ranging between 70 to 95 years.
Representing the entire entertainment sector in his capacity as Council of Administration (COA) Member of the Services Export Promotion Council (SEPC), Mr. Narendra Hirawat, Chairman, NH Studioz, presented the industry’s consolidated position on strengthening intellectual property as a long-term export asset.
