Abolish inter-state barriers

The 2015 proposal

Abolish inter-state trade barriers to create a uniform national market with easy movement of goods.

Where it stands in 2026

GST (2017) abolished inter-state fiscal barriers and the e-way bill digitised the movement of goods — essentially what the deck asked for.

The open gap

Agricultural marketing itself remains a state subject.

How to sustain & deepen it

Finish the job on the marketing side: a model market-fee framework that clears across states (see #17), so the single market GST created fiscally also exists for agricultural trade.
