India's government strengthens export approval process through DGFT reforms. The Ministry of Commerce has restructured Norms Committees to accelerate Advance Authorisation and Duty-Free Import Authorisation applications, addressing critical delays that have hindered exporters. Key changes include biweekly scheduled meetings, increased technical expertise from twelve to twenty-two members, and prioritized case disposal. From January to April 2026, committees reviewed 3,925 cases and disposed of 1,770 applications. These reforms aim to reduce transaction costs, shorten approval timelines, and enhance predictability for small and medium enterprises. The initiative reflects the government's commitment to improving ease of doing business and strengthening export competitiveness through streamlined trade facilitation mechanisms.
