Government of India launched the RELIEF (Resilience & Logistics Intervention for Export Facilitation) scheme under the Export Promotion Mission (EPM) to support exporters facing disruptions.
It aims to reduce losses due to rising freight costs, higher insurance premiums, and supply chain uncertainties in global trade routes.
The scheme is implemented by the Export Credit Guarantee Corporation of India (ECGC), which provides export credit risk insurance.
Exporters can get up to 100% additional risk cover for insured shipments and up to 95% cover for new shipments during the disruption period.
Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) receive up to 50% reimbursement of freight and insurance surcharges, with a maximum of ₹50 lakh per exporter.
