India remains committed to supporting foreign trade in the face of unstable logistics routes and rising supply costs. The country's central bank has extended the export credit relief until June 30, 2026, fixing the parameters that were previously considered temporary.
The regulator has extended the term of the export credit to 450 days. This solution allows exporters to flexibly manage financial flows and reduces pressure on working capital in conditions of extended logistics chains. Additionally, the deadline for the return of export earnings has been maintained to 15 months, which expands the possibilities for working with foreign counterparties.
The business community emphasizes that the extension of the measures was a response to ongoing disruptions in global supplies. Market participants are recording an increase in transaction costs and an increase in delivery times, which directly affects the liquidity of companies.
Financial support instruments are becoming a critical element of India's export strategy. Companies gain the opportunity to maintain competitive positions in the BRICS and Asian markets through more flexible settlement terms.
Special attention is paid to sectors with a high share of foreign trade — pharmaceuticals, textiles, mechanical engineering and agricultural exports. For these industries, access to extended credit means reducing the risk of contract failures and increasing supply sustainability.
The extension of the measures until mid-2026 signals that India is laying down a long-term export support model. This decision creates a predictable business environment and strengthens the country's position in global trade.
