As COVID-19 continues to wreak havoc around the world, destroying human lives as well as economies, India’s recent export data show the country’s traders have started to feel the burn. March 2020 exports from India declined by 34.57% to $21.41 billion while for the financial year 2020, exports fell by 4.78% to $314.31 billion. Having said that, Prime Minister Narendra Modi also announced a Rs. 20 lakh crore economic stimulus package to make India ‘atmanirbhar’ (self-reliant). This communication was further backed by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announcing a series of schemes to revive the economy, of which at least six of them were directed to support local MSMEs. The announcement included revising the definition of MSMEs, and Rs. 20,000 crore in subordinated debt, among other provisions. The move has been welcomed by industry stakeholders across the nation as it is expected to help MSMEs sail through at least the COVID-induced economic crisis. Having said that, even though these measures support the MSME industry as a whole, the government has not announced any export-sector specific strategy. Given the recent data, the export community hopes that in the coming days, the government will take cognizance of its trouble and offer some relief measures catered specifically to them.
