India's Ministry of Commerce and Industry has initiated various measures to enhance export promotion efforts amidst the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. These initiatives aim to support businesses, enhance competitiveness, and stimulate economic recovery in the export sector.

The implementation of the Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (RoDTEP) scheme is one of the key measures introduced. This scheme seeks to reimburse various taxes and duties incurred in the production and distribution of exported goods, improving the competitiveness of Indian products in the global market.

Additionally, efforts to address logistical challenges faced by exporters are underway, including improving port infrastructure and streamlining customs procedures. These measures aim to reduce transaction costs and facilitate smoother trade operations, thereby enhancing India's export competitiveness.

Furthermore, the Ministry is actively engaging with industry stakeholders to identify and address sector-specific issues hindering export growth. This collaborative approach ensures that policy interventions are tailored to the needs and challenges faced by different sectors, maximizing their effectiveness in promoting exports.

The export promotion measures implemented by India underscore the government's commitment to supporting businesses and driving economic recovery post-pandemic. By incentivizing exports and addressing key bottlenecks in trade infrastructure and procedures, India aims to revive growth momentum in the export sector and position itself as a competitive player in the global marketplace.

Overall, these initiatives signify India's proactive stance in leveraging trade as a driver of economic growth and resilience in the face of unprecedented challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
