Back in February, RoDTEP support was slashed by half for most goods (excluding agriculture), squeezing margins for exporters, especially in sectors like textiles.

Even though the scheme's budget has been reduced to ₹10,000 crore allocated for 2026-27 (down from ₹18,232 crore in 2025-26), industry groups like FIEO hope restoring full benefits will ease cost pressures and help Indian exports stay competitive.
