US identifies fake markets in India, criticizes IndiaMART

A report by the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) has hauled up three Indian markets and a leading e-commerce platform for facilitating the sale of counterfeit goods amid fears of a trade war under Donald Trump, who is days away from taking over the American presidency on January 20.

The report identifies Mumbai’s Heera Panna, Bengaluru’s SP Road Market and Delhi’s Tank Road Market in Karol Bagh as hubs for counterfeit products, from luxury watches to electronics.
