Government Supports Exporters Amid Decline in West Asia Trade Due to Conflict

The Indian government has urged exporters to continue trade with West Asia, despite a 57.9% decline in exports due to regional conflict. It is providing comprehensive support through schemes like RELIEF and ECGC to mitigate credit risks and higher freight costs. Export Promotion Councils are developing a three-year event calendar to assist small and medium exporters, and proposals for warehousing in buyer countries are being encouraged to strengthen export infrastructure.
