Good news for exporters! 🙌
The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has issued a corrigendum to Notification No. 60/2025–26 dated 23rd February 2026—bringing much-needed clarity.
🔍 What Was the Concern?
Earlier notification had:
👉 Capped RoDTEP benefits at 50% of notified rates and value caps
This created uncertainty across export sectors relying on these incentives.
✅ What Has Been Clarified Now?
DGFT has confirmed:
👉 The 50% cap on RoDTEP benefits will NOT apply to exports falling under:
📦 ITC (HS) Chapters 01 to 24
🧾 Covered Sectors (No Impact on RoDTEP Benefits)
🐄 Section I – Chapters 01–05
Animals & Animal Products
🌾 Section II – Chapters 06–14
Vegetable Products
🛢️ Section III – Chapter 15
Fats & Oils (Animal/Vegetable)
🍱 Section IV – Chapters 16–24
Prepared Food, Beverages, Tobacco, etc.
🎯 Practical Impact
👉 Full RoDTEP benefits continue for these sectors
👉 Removes uncertainty in pricing & export planning
👉 Protects cash flow for agri & food exporters
⚠️ What Still Remains?
- The 50% cap continues for other sectors (beyond Chapter 24)
- All other conditions of the original notification remain unchanged
💡 Why This Matters
This corrigendum signals:
✔ Policy responsiveness to sector concerns
✔ Continued support to agri & allied exports
✔ Stability in incentive-driven export sectors
💬 Final Thought
Sometimes, a small clarification creates a big impact.
For exporters in Chapters 01–24:👉 This is not just relief—
👉 It’s restored certainty in incentive planning.
