Rs. 330 crore assistance to states for development of infrastructure for exports

摘要

In a major initiative to ensure greater involvement of the States and Union Territories in the export effort, the government has allocated a sum of Rs. 330 crore for 'Assistance to States for Development of Infrastructure for Exports and other Allied Activities' during the current year (2002-03). This represents a record 12-fold increase from a level of Rs. 165 crore spent for this purpose during the last six years from 1996-97 to 2001-02. The aim is to increase India's share in global exports from the present level of 0.6% to at least 1% over the next few years.
