Government approves RELIEF (Resilience & Logistics Intervention for Export Facilitation) – an intervention under Export Promotion Mission to support exporters amid West Asia logistics disruptions

• RELIEF = Resilience & Logistics Intervention for Export Facilitation, a time-bound, targeted sub-intervention under the Export Promotion Mission (EPM) to cushion Indian exporters from West Asia maritime-logistics shocks.
• Approved by the Ministry of Commerce & Industry on 19 March 2026; financial outlay ₹497 crore; nodal/implementing agency ECGC Ltd..
• Demonstrates EPM's "flexible umbrella" design — ability to spin off rapid-response interventions for freight, insurance, and war-risk escalation without fresh Cabinet approval.
• Examinable as a case of trade-policy response to geopolitical risk (Strait of Hormuz) and as a component of the ₹25,060 crore EPM (Budget 2025-26).
