NITI Aayog is set to release the third edition of the Export Preparedness Index (EPI) for States and UTs for the year 2022 on July 17, 2023.
The report discusses India’s export performance amid the prevailing global trade context in FY22, followed by an overview of the country’s sector-specific export performance.
The report further highlights the need to develop districts as export hubs in the country and undertakes a district-level analysis of merchandise exports in the country.
EPI is a comprehensive tool that measures the export preparedness of the States and UTs in India.
Exports are vital for stimulating economic growth and development in a country, which necessitates understanding the factors which influence export performance.
EPI assesses the performance of the States and UTs across four pillars – Policy, Business Ecosystem, Export Ecosystem, and Export Performance. Each pillar is composed of sub-pillars, which in turn capture a state’s performance using relevant indicators.
