Government Restores RoDTEP Rates, Caps to Support Exporters Amid West Asia Trade Disruptions

The government has restored the rates and value caps under the Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (RoDTEP) Scheme for all eligible export products with effect from yesterday. In a statement, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry said this move has been made to support Exporters amid West Asia trade disruptions. It said that the restored rates shall be those that came into force from 22nd February this year, thereby withdrawing the earlier restriction of 50 per cent.
This step is intended to provide timely support to Indian exporters facing elevated freight costs and war-related trade risks arising from disruptions in the Gulf and the wider West Asia maritime corridor. The Ministry also said that the decision reflects the Government’s continued commitment to ensuring a stable, responsive, and supportive policy environment for exporters while sustaining India’s export competitiveness in a challenging global environment.
