Export ki ladai mein Govt ka support!
So, Indian exporters ab thoda chain ki saans le sakte hain kyunki government ne RoDTEP (Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products) rates ko seedha March 31, 2026 tak ke liye restore kar diya hai. Ye decision isliye liya gaya hai kyunki shipping costs aur West Asia mein chal rahe conflicts ki wajah se exporters ki mushkilein badh gayi hain. Ministry of Commerce and Industry ka kehna hai ki ye move timely support provide karega, kyunki shipping routes mein problems ki wajah se logistics ka kharcha kaafi badh gaya hai. Especially textiles jaisi industries jo pehle se hi kam profit margin par kaam karti hain, unke liye ye ek zaroori step hai immediate losses se bachne ke liye.
Global Conflicts ne badhaya Shipping ka kharcha
Yaad hai West Asia mein chal raha hangama? Uska seedha impact Indian exports par pad raha hai. Asia aur West Asia ke beech container freight rates 2 se 3 guna tak badh gaye hain. War-risk premiums bhi chaar guna ho gaye hain aur bunker fuel prices bhi upar gaye hain. In sab cheezon ne exporters ka operational cost badha diya hai. Is badhte hue logistics expenses ne pehle se chal rahi challenges ko aur bhi bura bana diya hai. Iska asar trade data mein bhi dikh raha hai, February mein US, UK, UAE aur Saudi Arabia jaise bade markets mein exports kam hue hain. Trade deficit bhi badh gaya hai, jo global instability se aur kharab ho raha hai.
India competitors se peeche hai incentives mein?
RoDTEP jaise schemes ke bawajud, Indian exporters ko hamesha yeh chinta rehti hai ki woh global peers ke muqable kahan khade hain. Vietnam, Bangladesh, Turkey aur China jaise countries ke paas stable aur mazboot remission mechanisms hain jo unhe cost advantage dete hain. Industry ne kai baar warning di hai ki agar cost mein thoda bhi difference hua toh orders dusri countries mein ja sakte hain, especially textiles aur garments jaise labor-intensive sectors mein jinke margins bahut tight hote hain. RoDTEP scheme embedded taxes ko refund karne ke liye hai, lekin iska temporary hona aur pehle hue adjustments ki wajah se uncertainty hai, jo competitors ke stable systems se alag hai. Is policy ki uncertainty ki wajah se India ko UK, EU aur US jaise countries ke saath kiye gaye naye Free Trade Agreements ka poora fayda uthana mushkil ho raha hai.
Exporters ko chahiye stable support, baar baar ke ad-hoc measures nahi!
Jaise schemes par nirbhar rehna chalta rehta hai, yeh ek badi weakness dikhata hai: Indian exporters, khaas kar MSMEs, global level par compete karne ke liye government aid par bahut zyada depend karte hain. MSMEs, jo India ke total exports mein achha khaasa hissa dete hain, unke paas zyada financial cushion nahi hota, isliye woh badhti hui costs aur policy changes ke liye bahut vulnerable hote hain. RoDTEP ka yeh current restoration sirf ek short-term measure hai jo sirf March 2026 tak valid hai. Iske baad kya hoga, yeh uncertain hai, khaas kar budget cuts aur larger export programs mein integration ki talks ke baad. Yeh dependency Indian firms ko competitors ke muqable nuksaan mein rakhti hai jinke paas steady, long-term export incentives hain. Aur haan, textile sector kaafi important hai, lekin investors sector risks aur badhti hui costs aur uncertain global demand ke effects ko bhi consider kar rahe hain, jo outlook ke liye ek cautious view suggest karta hai.
Industry ki maang: Predictable export policies!
Industry stakeholders ne government se RoDTEP scheme ko bina kisi time limit ke extend karne ki appeal ki hai. Unka kehna hai ki export orders ke liye long lead times (usually six months) hote hain, aur global competitiveness badhane ke liye predictable policy zaroori hai. Jabki government ne immediate crises par response dikhaya hai, lekin asal goal ek stable, long-term policy banana hai. Iske bina, India competitors se market share kho sakta hai, chahe kitne bhi ambitious trade deals ho rahe hon. Focus crises par react karne se shift hokar steady support provide karne par hona chahiye, taaki India ka export sector global volatility mein grow kar sake.
