RBI extends trade relief to exporters facing tariff headwinds

To provide relief to exporters on account of trade disruptions arising due to global headwinds, more specifically tariffs, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Friday announced a host of trade relief measures that could mitigate a part of the impact. The Reserve Bank has permitted exporters to bring proceeds of their shipments in 15 months as against the prevailing time- frame of nine months in view of stress being faced by them.

Exporters are facing issues due to a steep tariff imposed by the U.S. on Indian shipments since August. The U.S. imposed a steep 50% tariff on goods from India.
