🔔 Update — April 2026: The Foreign Trade Policy 2023 has been in force since 1 April 2023 and notably departed from the five-year model. FTP 2023 has no end date. It is a dynamic policy updated through DGFT notifications as needed. The core pillars — incentive to remission, export promotion through collaboration, ease of doing business, and emerging areas — continue to guide trade measures in 2026.
Key 2025-26 amendments include updates to Para 4.63, import policy tweaks for ITC HS Chapter 71, new Para 2.20A on origin restrictions, and QCO input flexibility under Notifications 20/2025-26 and 28/2025-26. See the DGFT notifications page for the latest. Download the full FTP 2023 text here. IndBiz maintains a running summary.
