Date- 26 September 2022

• The Government has received requests from Export Promotion Councils and leading exporters that we should continue with the current Foreign Trade Policy (2015-20), which has been extended from time to time.
• In recent days, exporters and industry bodies have strongly urged the government that in view of the prevailing, volatile global economic and geo-political situation, it would be advisable to extend the current policy for some time, and undertake more consultations before coming out with the new policy.
• The government has always involved all stakeholders in formulating policy. In view of this, it has been decided to extend the Foreign Trade Policy 2015-20, valid till Sept 30, 2022 for a further period of six months, w.e.f. October 01, 2022.
