Trade, import and export for MSMEs: Multiple schemes have so far been offered by the government for exporters such as Rebate of State and Central Levies and Taxes (RoSCTL) scheme, Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (RoDTEP) scheme, Districts as Export Hubs launched by identifying products with export potential in each district, Interest Equalization scheme and more.

Even as support extended to MSME exporters through such schemes help them to scale up and export more with better competitiveness among players from other countries, it is important to understand if exporters can grow without the clutches of these schemes in the international arena.
