India’s share in world trade increased from 0.5 to 2% over the last 7 years. The Government believes that this is on account of the trade policy initiatives. Do you agree? Explain.
Answer: I agree that the increase in the share of exports from .5 percent to 2 percent over the last seven years is contributed by government policies to enhance exports from India. The major policies and programs introduced by the government of India to increase its Export share in World Market are:-
1, Market Development Assistance Scheme.
2, Export Oriented Unit Scheme.
3, Software Technology Park Scheme
4, Services Export from India Scheme.
5, Market Access Initiative Scheme.
6, Export Promotional Capital Goods Zero Duty Scheme.
7, The Merchandise Export from India Scheme.
8, Advance Authorization Scheme.
9, Advance Authorization for Annual Requirement.
10, Customs, Central Excise and Export Duty Drawback Scheme.
11, GST Tax Rebate.
12, Duty Free Import Authorization.
13, Post Export Promotional Capital Goods Duty Credit Scrip Scheme.
14, Towns of Export Excellence.
15, Fright Assistance to Exporters.
16, Rebates of State Levies etc.
These are some of the schemes to enhance Exports of India. All these schemes were helped in the growth of Exports from India in the World Market. Thus we cannot disagree with the above argument of the government.
