According to Sakthivel, the GST levy on export freight has made exporters’ liquidity problems worse.
Exporters raised a number of concerns at the meeting, including the growing cost of raw materials, the weakening demand in several important export destinations, and the need for increased support for exporters during this challenging time.
The need for a higher exporter interest subsidy, the extension of benefits for export to Russia under rupee payment, higher freight costs, the removal of the 50% duty on the export of law-grade iron ore, and non-tariff barriers faced by domestic exporters in the EU, Japan, and China markets were other topics covered during the session.
