Task Force for Export Promotion

In February 2011, Department of Commerce released two reports on export promotion. One was on the strategy to double India’s exports by 2014 with focus on product strategy, market strategy, technologies and R&D and building a brand image. The other was a report of Task Force on Transaction Cost in Exports which made 44 recommendations relating to infrastructure and procedure. Out of these 44 recommendations, 23 have been implemented which reduced the transaction cost to an extent of Rs.2100 crore in perpetuity
