India extends RoSCTL scheme till Sept 2026 to support apparel exports
The extension comes at a time when exporters are facing heightened pressure from geopolitical uncertainties, volatile demand, and rising logistics and input costs. By continuing the scheme, the government aims to provide stability and cost support to the labour-intensive apparel sector.
The extension of RoSCTL till September 30, 2026, or until the next Finance Commission approval, provides interim policy clarity amid global demand and cost pressures. Continued structure and rates support pricing competitiveness for apparel exporters.
However, its temporary nature signals a likely recalibration of export incentives in the upcoming policy cycle.
The scheme will continue without any change to its structure, coverage, rates, or eligibility criteria, ensuring policy continuity for exporters. Rebates will be provided through transferable duty credit scrips in a fully digital format, supporting ease of use and faster processing.
To maintain fiscal discipline, expenditure under the scheme will be reviewed on a quarterly basis by an inter-ministerial committee. The government has also retained the flexibility to revise rates and caps depending on evolving conditions, while keeping eligibility norms unchanged.
Effective April 1, 2026, the extension provides interim visibility to exporters as the government works towards finalising a longer-term framework under the upcoming Finance Commission period.

On March **, ****, India’s Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) issued Notification No. **/****–**, amending Para *.** of the Foreign Trade Policy and removing the long-standing ****;** lakh (about $**,***) per-consignment cap on courier exports. From April *, exporters can send consignments of any value through courier mode instead of splitting higher-value orders into smaller parcels.
For textiles and apparel, this is more than a procedural tweak. The sector is no longer driven only by large container-based orders from global retailers. It is increasingly shaped by samples, capsule drops, repeat orders, customised runs, premium home textiles, craft-led fashion, and direct-to-consumer cross-border fulfilment. In that world, courier flexibility matters.
