The Government of India, through the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), has issued Notification No. 11/2026-27 dated April 17, 2026, amending an earlier notification relating to the Resilience & Logistics Intervention for Export Facilitation (RELIEF) scheme under the Export Promotion Mission (EPM). Exercising powers under the Foreign Trade (Development and Regulation) Act, 1992, and the Foreign Trade Policy, 2023, the amendment expands the list of eligible export destinations to include Egypt and Jordan. This inclusion applies specifically to provisions governing shipments for delivery or transshipment under the RELIEF framework. The move is aimed at supporting exporters facing ongoing global logistics disruptions by extending relief benefits to additional strategic markets. All other provisions of the earlier notification remain unchanged. The amendment enhances the scope of export facilitation measures and reflects the government’s continued efforts to mitigate supply chain challenges and promote international trade resilience for Indian exporters.
