The commerce ministry in its 2024 year-end review has said that the Export Credit Guarantee Corporation of India (ECGC) is aiming to reduce the export credit gap through the Whole Turnover Export Credit Insurance for Banks (WT-ECIB) scheme, which is expected to benefit about 1,000 new small exporters, in addition to the existing 8,000-odd by facilitating the availability of adequate and affordable export finance from banks for working capital.
The ministry said ECGC has extended the scope of its WT-ECIB scheme to export credit working capital limits up to Rs 80 crore with effect from July 1. It also said that the India-Sri Lanka Economic and Technology Cooperation Agreement (ETCA) negotiations are ongoing with the 14th round of negotiations concluded in July.
It said except the track on goods dealing with specific lines pertaining to garments, negotiations on almost all chapters including services and Rules of Origin have been concluded. It added that India is leveraging its free trade agreement engagements to enhance services trade through these pacts by ensuring certainty in market access, non-discriminatory treatment and a transparent and objective regulatory environment.
