·Economic Times·Impact 3/5 · Notable

Exporters in India have received a six-month extension on the RELIEF initiative, a scheme that provides risk coverage to those facing higher shipping and insurance costs due to turmoil in West Asia. This extension, which will now run until March 31, 2027, aims to help exporters mitigate the financial impact of rising insurance premiums. The scheme offers eligible exporters 95 percent coverage, giving them greater protection against these increased costs. This move is likely to provide some relief to exporters and support India's trade and economy.
