Expansion Scheme

- Mukesh Jagota

As part of its export diversification measures in the wake of tariff shocks emanating from the US, the government is working to expand the current list of 20 "focus markets" by adding 30 more countries, officials said on Monday.

The market expansion efforts that started earlier to de-risk exports will be expanded. Top 10 countries accounted for 50% of total exports when the focus country list was expanded to 20 countries. The addition of 30 countries will take the focus country initiative to cover 90% of India's exports.
