India Extends RELIEF Export Risk Coverage Scheme Amid West Asia Geopolitical Tensions
The Indian Department of Commerce has extended Component II of the Resilience Logistics Intervention for Export Facilitation (RELIEF) scheme until March 31, 2027. This extension aims to support exporters facing increased shipping and insurance costs due to ongoing geopolitical tensions in West Asia. The scheme offers 95% risk coverage through Export Credit Guarantee Corporation of India (ECGC) policies for eligible shipments, covering various container types except energy shipments. Exporters must submit claims via the ECGC portal to avail benefits, with premiums protected against increases beyond pre-disruption levels during the eligible period.
