Why in new?
EEPC India highlights its Platinum Jubilee celebrations, new export targets, major policy advocacy, and support for MSMEs affected by recent tariff actions.
 
New Initiatives and Targets

• EEPC India, under government direction, aims for $300 billion in engineering exports by 2030 as part of India's broader $1 trillion export target.
• The organization is actively engaging stakeholders in strategy formulation and launching new events, such as trade expos, excellence awards, and industry workshops.

Policy Advocacy and MSME Support

• EEPC India has urged the central government to provide financial support to MSMEs hit by recent US tariffs, including expanding interest equalization schemes to reduce the financing burden for small businesses.
• Proposals include faceless GST audits for MSMEs, higher interest subventions under export schemes, and tax rate incentives for reinvestment in the business.

India’s engineering exports reached an all-time high of USD 116.67 billion in FY 2024–25, with notable growth driven by Free Trade Agreements with the UAE and Australia, and strong performance in regions like WANA and North-East Asia.
