NEW DELHI: The Government officials said that the commerce department has already taken up the issue of interest subsidy, which expired at the end of March, with the Finance Ministry and the extension is a certainty, given that a budgetary provision of over Rs 1,600 crore has already been made.
For exporters, the interest subsidy that was available till the end of the last financial year is a crucial area. "We are looking forward to an announcement although the big question is whether it will be prospective or retrospective. The subsidy helped increase the competitiveness of goods given that our interest rates are vey high compared to global levels," said FIEO president Rafeeque Ahmed. In all likelihood, the benefit will be made available prospectively, officials indicated.
Commerce & Industry Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had said that the focus will remain on the job-creating manufacturing sectors, which have been flagged as the priority area by the Government. "We are also looking at project exports in a big way because India has become a brand in many sectors whether pharmaceuticals, auto sector, biotechnology, construction and textiles," she had added.
