Illicit trade has emerged as a serious challenge to national economies and governance systems worldwide. It undermines lawful commerce, distorts market competition, and weakens the foundation of legitimate industry. The circulation of unregulated and substandard products poses significant risks to consumer safety, while the proceeds from such activities often finance organised crime. Beyond revenue losses to the government, illicit trade damages institutional credibility and disrupts sustainable economic growth.
Addressing this complex challenge places law-enforcement agencies at the centre of the response. Police forces play a pivotal role in identifying, disrupting, and dismantling illegal supply chains. Their effectiveness depends on continuous capacity enhancement, access to updated intelligence, and exposure to modern investigative tools and techniques.
Recognising this imperative, FICCI CASCADE has been actively collaborating with enforcement agencies nationwide. Continuing this engagement, FICCI CASCADE is organising a capacity-building programme titled “Strengthening Enforcement against Illicit Trade and Economic Offences” on 27th February 2026 at Academy for Smart Policing (ASP), Mother Teresa Crescent, Chanakyapuri, New Delhi. The programme aims to deepen officers’ understanding of evolving illicit trade practices and provide practical, field-oriented approaches to tackle these offences more effectively.
This initiative reflects a collective commitment to building a safer and more transparent marketplace. By strengthening the skills and preparedness of the Delhi Police, the programme seeks to reinforce the enforcement framework and enhance resilience against the increasingly sophisticated threats posed by illicit trade.
