<h1>Commerce Minister Discusses Foreign Trade Policy with EPCs and FIEO; Highlights NIRVIK Scheme and High-Tech Export Challenges.</h1> The Union Minister for Commerce and Industry met with Export Promotion Councils (EPCs), the Federation of Indian Export Organisation (FIEO), and Commodity Boards to discuss the Foreign Trade Policy and gather pre-budget inputs. Issues such as rationalizing EPCs, addressing non-tariff barriers, and supporting exporters identified as risky by the CBIC were discussed. The Minister urged the use of the NIRVIK Scheme for easier access to credit. Concerns about India's low share in high-tech exports and suggestions for the new Foreign Trade Policy were raised. A follow-up meeting is planned post-Budget 2020 to review progress.
