इस सब्सिडी के बारे में
The Export Promotion Capital Goods (EPCG) Scheme, run by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, lets you import capital goods at zero customs duty. For physical exports, the exemption also covers Integrated Goods and Services Tax (IGST) and Compensation Cess. You can also buy capital goods from indigenous sources.
Covered goods include machinery, computer systems and software integral to those machines, spares, moulds, dies, jigs, fixtures, tools, refractories and catalysts.
In return, you take on an Export Obligation (EO), typically six times the duties, taxes and cess saved, to be fulfilled over six years. Manufacturer exporters, merchant exporters tied to supporting manufacturers, and service providers can apply.
The export obligation can be reduced for exporters of Green Technology Products and for units in Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, Tripura, and Jammu and Kashmir. You need an Active IEC (Importer Exporter Code) and a login to the DGFT Customer Portal.

लाभ और फंडिंग
आपको क्या मिलेगा
The EPCG scheme offers significant financial advantages by allowing the import of vital capital goods at zero customs duty, IGST, and Compensation Cess. This upfront saving dramatically reduces the capital expenditure for businesses engaged in export-oriented pre-production, production, and post-production activities. Beyond the direct duty waiver, the scheme provides flexibility in fulfilling export obligations, with potential reductions for exporters of Green Technology Products or units located in specific regions like Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, Tripura, and Jammu and Kashmir. This targeted support enhances the competitiveness of Indian exports and promotes sustainable and regional economic development.

Who is eligible to apply for the EPCG Scheme?
The scheme is open to manufacturer exporters (with or without supporting manufacturers), merchant exporters tied to supporting manufacturers, and service providers. Applicants must possess an active IEC and comply with DGFT portal requirements.
What is the Export Obligation under the EPCG Scheme?
Under the EPCG Scheme, applicants must fulfill an Export Obligation (EO) equivalent to 6 times the duties, taxes, and cess saved on the imported capital goods. This obligation must typically be met within six years from the date of Authorisation issuance.

Yes, import of items that are restricted for import or export shall be permitted under the EPCG Scheme only after obtaining approval from the Exim Facilitation Committee (EFC) at DGFT Headquarters.
How can the export obligation be reduced?
The specific export obligation can be reduced in certain cases, such as for exporters of Green Technology Products (75% of EO) or for units located in Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, Tripura, and Jammu and Kashmir (25% of EO).
Is the EPCG scheme open to new businesses or only established exporters?
The scheme is primarily aimed at businesses engaged in export activities, including manufacturer exporters, merchant exporters, and service providers. While no explicit age restriction is mentioned, having an 'Active' IEC and GSTN details implies a registered, operational business, rather than a pre-incorporation or idea-stage startup.
