India's Export Powerhouse: Your 2025 Guide to Top Export Promotion Schemes
The Core of Export Incentives: Why These Schemes Matter
The Government of India, through the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), offers schemes to neutralise local taxes, reduce the cost of credit, and facilitate duty-free import of raw materials and capital goods.
For an exporter, these schemes translate directly into:
Lower Production Costs: By refunding taxes and allowing duty-free imports.
Enhanced Competitiveness: Making your products/services more attractive globally.
Improved Working Capital: Through interest subsidies and faster refunds.
1. RoDTEP (Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products): The Game Changer
The RoDTEP scheme is the successor to the Merchandise Exports from India Scheme (MEIS) and is fully compliant with WTO guidelines. It is perhaps the most fundamental incentive for goods exporters.
| Feature | Key Benefit |
| What it Reimburses | Hidden central, state, and local taxes/duties (e.g., VAT on fuel, electricity duty, Mandi tax) that are not refunded under GST. |
| How it Works | Benefits are provided as transferable Duty Credit e-scrips (digital credits) that can be used to pay Basic Customs Duty on imports or sold for cash. |
| Globax Insight | The scheme is fully digital (via the ICEGATE portal), aligning perfectly with the e-commerce export boom. Ensure your shipping bill explicitly claims RoDTEP. |
2. Advance Authorisation (AA) Scheme: For Duty-Free Raw Material
The AA Scheme directly addresses a core cost component: the raw materials used in your export product.
| Feature | Key Benefit |
| What it Allows | Duty-free import of raw materials, components, consumables, fuel, oil, and catalysts used in the manufacture of export products. |
| The Obligation | The exporter must fulfill an Export Obligation (EO) by exporting the finished goods within a set time frame (typically 18 months). |
| Globax Insight | This scheme is ideal for exporters with high-value inputs. It eliminates the upfront payment of customs duties (including Basic Customs Duty, IGST, and Compensation Cess), offering significant cash flow benefits. |
3. EPCG (Export Promotion Capital Goods) Scheme: Zero-Duty Machinery
Looking to upgrade your factory with the latest global technology? The EPCG scheme makes it significantly cheaper.
| Feature | Key Benefit |
| What it Allows | Zero customs duty import of capital goods (machinery and equipment) for pre-production, production, and post-production. |
| The Obligation | The exporter must fulfill an export obligation equivalent to 6 times the duty saved on the capital goods, to be completed within 6 years. |
| Globax Insight | The EPCG scheme is essential for long-term competitiveness. By reducing the cost of high-quality machinery, it directly boosts product quality and production efficiency, a major selling point in international markets. |
4. Interest Equalisation Scheme (IES): Cheaper Export Credit
Access to affordable working capital is a persistent challenge for MSMEs. The IES provides a direct financial boost.
| Feature | Key Benefit |
| What it Offers | An interest subsidy on Pre-Shipment and Post-Shipment Rupee Export Credit. |
| Benefit Rate | Up to 3% to 5% interest subvention, significantly reducing your cost of borrowing. |
| Globax Insight | This scheme is crucial for MSMEs and sectors with tight working capital. It directly addresses the “cost of credit” bottleneck, allowing you to take on larger, more profitable export orders. |
5. Other Key Incentives to Know
RoSCTL (Rebate of State and Central Taxes and Levies): A specialized version of RoDTEP specifically designed for the Apparel and Textile sector.
Duty Drawback Scheme (DBK): Provides a refund of customs and central excise duties paid on inputs used in the manufacture of exported goods.
Market Access Initiative (MAI): Offers financial assistance for export promotion activities such as participation in international trade fairs, market studies, and product registration/certification in foreign countries.
