03 Oct 2025 CW Team

The Indian government has extended the Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (RoDTEP) scheme by six months, until 31 March 2026, according to a notification from the Director General of Foreign Trade (DGFT). The scheme had been due to expire on 30 September 2025.

The extension will continue to cover eligible exports from domestic tariff area units, Advance Authorisation (AA) holders, Export Oriented Units (EOUs), and Special Economic Zone (SEZ) entities. Rates will remain unchanged, ranging between 0.3 per cent and 3.9 per cent, for all qualifying export products.

Launched in January 2021, RoDTEP reimburses exporters for embedded duties, taxes and charges incurred during production and distribution that are not refunded through other mechanisms. It is designed to enhance competitiveness by offsetting non-creditable levies.

The Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) welcomed the move. Its President, S C Ralhan, said: “The timely extension of RoDTEP has removed uncertainty that was weighing on the exporting community. This step provides much-needed policy continuity as exporters navigate global headwinds.”

By 31 March 2025, total disbursements under RoDTEP had crossed Rs 579.8 billion, underscoring its importance in supporting India’s merchandise exports. For FY 2025–26, the government has allocated Rs 182.3 billion to the scheme, covering 10,780 HS lines for Domestic Tariff Area exports and 10,795 HS lines for AA, EOU, and SEZ exports.
