Abstract
This paper analyses the impact of trade reforms on plant level markups using a panel
data for the period 1998-99 to 2007-08. Accounting for plant level heterogeneity in
terms of productivity levels and pricing behaviour, this paper finds evidence of fall in
markups due reduction in input and output tariffs. Rise in imported input variety and
export variety are found to have exerted a positive impact on markups.
