The government today said the sops would continue for exporters in sectors like capital goods and textiles to help them mitigate the impact of "fragile" recovery of global economy.

Announcing the annual Foreign Trade Policy, commerce and industry minister Anand Sharma said that recovery in global economy so far has been fragile and uneven.

"Whatever recovery has been there is stimulus-fed and stimulus-led," Sharma said, adding that it was posing challenges to Indian exporters.

Aiming to provide some relief to exporters hurt by global slowdown, Sharma announced extending DEPB (Duty Entitlement Pass Book) scheme for six months or till June 30, 2011.

Under this scheme, the government reimburses duties on imported inputs used in exports.

Sharma also announced extension of zero duty EPCG (Export Promotion for Capital Goods) for one more year, that is till March 31, 2011, and SHI (Status Holders Incentive) scheme for one more year till March 31, 2011.

At the same time, Sharma also said that India remained committed to successful completion of Doha round of WTO talks.

He noted that the efforts were continuing to cut down the export transaction costs and discussions were on for various trade agreements with Malaysia, Japan, European Union and Asean nations.

Sharma said that the country is on course to achieving USD 200 billion export target for 2010-11.

During April-July 2010-11, exports grew by 30.1 per cent to USD 68.63 billion. In the last fiscal, India's exports were at USD 182 billion.

Also, interest subvention of two per cent has been extended to textiles, jute, leather and engineering goods sectors, Sharma said.

Currently, the scheme is for sectors like handicrafts, handlooms, carpets and small and medium enterprises. The scheme is to expire on March 31, 2011.

Under the scheme, banks provide loans at a rate lower by two per cent than the market rate.

"A bonus incentive scheme is being introduced for those sectors whose exports are not doing well. This specially covers labour intensive sectors like handicrafts, handlooms, leather and leather manufacturers, carpets, sports goods, toys and some bicycle parts," Sharma said.
