Foreign trade policy to be announced on April 1

30 Mar 2015 Evaluate

The much-delayed foreign trade policy (FTP) for five years - from 2015 to 2020 is set to be unveiled on April 1. It has been reported that the policy, poised to be “different” from previous such policies and will emphasise promotion of manufacturing and services exports and strive for greater use of free trade agreements (FTAs). Within manufacturing exports, the government will chart out a strategy to promote the key sectors of engineering products, electronic goods and textile exports.

The policy which has been delayed by almost a year is likely to be incentive-based and reward the high quality, globally-competitive exports. Aiming to streamline export sops, the commerce ministry is likely to consolidate a host of schemes, such as focus market, focus product and market-linked focus product.

The Focus Market Scheme (FMS) aims to offset high freight costs and other externalities to select international markets with a view to enhance India’s export competitiveness in these markets. The objective of the Focus Product Scheme (FPS) is to promote exports of products that have a high export intensity and employment potential, so as to offset infrastructural inefficiencies and other associated costs involved in the marketing of these products.

The ministry has stated that the policy was delayed as it had to be in tandem with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Make in India, Digital India and ease-of-doing-business initiatives and also as last year’s Budget wasn’t a full-fledged one; it was only for eight months.
