India has extended Component II of its RELIEF export support initiative until 31 March 2027, maintaining enhanced ECGC risk coverage and protection against premium increases for eligible exporters. The extension responds to continuing West Asian geopolitical disruptions affecting maritime logistics, insurance costs and trade through the Gulf and adjoining regions.
The RELIEF export support initiative will continue offering eligible exporters enhanced insurance protection under Component II until 31 March 2027, following an extension notified by the Department of Commerce.
Notification No. 37/2026-27, dated 30 September 2026, extends the component’s eligibility and validity timelines. The measure was reiterated in the department’s announcement on 26 October, as disruption across West Asian maritime corridors continued to affect export operations.
RELIEF—Resilience & Logistics Intervention for Export Facilitation—operates under the Export Promotion Mission. Launched on 19 March 2026, it addresses exceptional freight escalation, increased insurance premiums and war-related export risks.
