Special and Differential Treatment SDT at WTO implies special concessions to developing and under-developed countries in trade norms, market access, and so on. India as a developing country was a critical player in formulation of SDT principle. By protecting its domestic norms such as MSP, buffer stock, subsidies, it has rightfully asserted the SDT principle. India was the first to invoke Bali Peace Clause (on public stockholding)

protecting not just food security but also livelihoods of farmers. Agriculture employs 43% of the population, hence India has also been seeking revision of base year (1986-87) and doing away with amber box. Further, as part of G33 within WTO, India seeks better market access for developing nations in beneficial sectors (textile, services). India consistently rejects protectionist measures (CBAM, SPS norms) and non-trade issues IPD being imposed on developing nations.
