The executive brief
The decision in front of the business.
01Notification 41/2026-27 continues RoDTEP through 31 December 2026 for eligible DTA, AA, SEZ and EOU exports, retaining existing Appendix 4R/4RE rates, caps and conditions. Separately, Notification 37/2026-27 extends RELIEF Component-II eligibility under paragraph 7.2 to 31 March 2027. Official guidance identifies 95% ECGC risk cover for qualifying FCL, LCL and reefer cargo, excluding energy shipments; policies must meet the specified date and regional conditions.
02Exporters should separate remission assumptions from shipment-specific insurance protection. Continuation improves planning visibility but does not make every consignment eligible or create an automatic receivable. Pricing and working-capital models should use the relevant product schedule, destination, shipment timing and documentary conditions.
03Check each shipment against the relevant remission and insurance conditions.

Commercial and operating implications.
Commercial implications
Exporters should separate remission assumptions from shipment-specific insurance protection. Continuation improves planning visibility but does not make every consignment eligible or create an automatic receivable. Pricing and working-capital models should use the relevant product schedule, destination, shipment timing and documentary conditions.
Implementation priorities
Commercial teams can review contracts, insurance placement and cash-flow assumptions together. Logistics disruption, premium conditions and policy coverage need to be checked against the actual ECGC terms. A support scheme can mitigate identified exposure; it does not replace contractual allocation of freight, delivery and payment risk.
From insight to action
Priorities for leadership.
Exporters and logistics businesses
Check each shipment against the relevant remission and insurance conditions.
Commercial and compliance teams
Maintain a documentary eligibility and cash-flow register for the separate interventions.
Project and policy milestones
What changes the next decision.
Product schedules, eligible regions, ECGC policy terms and later DGFT amendments remain the key operating references.
