PHDCCI appreciates Restoration of RoDTEP Benefits for AA, EOU, and SEZ Exports
The scheme for ‘zero rated exports’ will boost our exports and competitiveness globally, further strengthening the vision of Viksit Bharat@2047
Government’s decision to reinstate benefits under the Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (RoDTEP) scheme for exports by Advance Authorization (AA) holders, Export-Oriented Units (EOUs), and Special Economic Zones (SEZs), effective from 1st June 2025 onwards, highlights the government’s unwavering commitment to strengthen India’s position as a global export destination, said Mr. Hemant Jain, President of PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI), in a press statement issued here today.
The RoDTEP scheme notified in January 2021, helps exporters by reimbursing taxes and duties not refunded elsewhere incurred during the production and distribution of the exported products, said Mr. Jain. Government has continuously enhanced the coverage of this scheme from 8555 tariff lines in 2021 to more than 10000 tariff lines in 2025, to ensure broad sectorial coverage, he said.
Additionally, the total disbursements under the RoDTEP scheme has surpassed Rs 50,000 crore as of 31st March 2025, underscores the government’s dedication to fostering a diverse and resilient export ecosystem, he said.
The restoration of RoDTEP benefits will significantly boost India’s export across diverse sectors, including chemicals, pharmaceuticals, agriculture and electronics, among others, by reducing cost burdens and enhancing price competitiveness, said Mr. Jain.
This move is poised to attract greater investment, spur innovation, and create new opportunities for MSMEs, contributing to sustainable economic growth and employment creation, he said.
PHDCCI highly appreciates the government’s strategic policy initiatives, robust infrastructure growth, and trade facilitation measures to accelerate exports including, National Logistics Policy, Production-Linked Incentive scheme, Trade Infrastructure for Export Scheme, National Single Window System, Enhanced Insurance Cover for MSME Exporters and ICEGATE Digital Platform, among others.
Going forward, this move will drive India’s exports trajectory higher and support a stronger, self-reliant economy, given the global trade frictions and policy uncertainty, said Mr. Hemant Jain.
