MESSAGE
India is one of the world's fastest-growing economies, with exports playing a vital part in its economic growth. With
the advent of globalisation in the early 1990s, India's participation in global trade has increased significantly. In 2022,
exports of goods and services accounted for nearly 22.74% of India's GDP, a near threefold increase from their
7.05% share in 1990. Increased attempts by the central and state governments to boost the production of goods with
diversified profiles, stimulate investment in industries, and discover additional exportable products all contributed to
India's export growth.
While every country has its own circumstances, India stands out given its sheer size, complexity, and internal
heterogeneity. The national level exports data that conceals considerable regional variation at the state level. Therefore,
continuous evaluation of exports at the subnational level with significant differences at the state and district levels is
required to address the challenges India’s exports face.
In this context, a data-driven examination of the export landscape is important and more relevant than ever. The
Export Preparedness Report is a step in the same direction as it evaluates the states and UTs on the most important
key parameters influencing the region's export preparedness. Recognising the complexities and variations resulting
from spatial segregation, the index categorises states based on four categories: coastal, landlocked, Himalayan, and
Union Territories/Small States. These categories will aid states and territories in identifying opportunities and best
practises that can be adapted to boost their export performance.
The third edition of the Export Preparedness Index (EPI) continues to seek and identify opportunities and obstacles
for each state and union territory, as well as recommend context-specific strategies to resolve the heterogeneity at the
regional level. This edition of the index strengthened its assessment of indicators and improved its methodology with
stakeholder recommendations. The index continues to serve as a benchmark for evaluating the performance of states
and union territories and fostering peer-to-peer learning to improve their respective performances.
I am grateful to NITI Aayog for entrusting the Institute for Competitiveness to develop this important body of work.
I am grateful to all stakeholders who were involved in preparing this report. With regard to the preparation of this
report, I would like to thank Shri Suman Bery, Shri B.V.R. Subrahmanyam, Dr. Arvind Virmani, Shri Sanjeet Singh,
and Shri Ishtiyaque Ahmed for their constant backing and guidance. Finally, I would like to thank my team at the
Institute for Competitiveness, including Anshul Sharma, Sheen Zutshi, and Teesta Bose.
I am confident that this iteration will likely pave the way for states and UTs to comprehend the obstacles and assist in
the development of a road map to promote their exports.

EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
Exports promote growth in a country by expanding
markets, generating revenue, driving productivity
improvements, and facilitating specialization,
making them integral to a nation’s economic
development. To leverage exports as drivers of
growth, continuous and comprehensive evaluation
of a nation's preparedness is important. 22 Export Preparedness Index 2022
For the Indian context, the Export
Preparedness Index extends India’s
innate heterogeneity to its exports
and serves as a tool to help states in
developing strategies for their context-
specific challenges. The third iteration of
this report on India’s export preparedness
provides a comprehensive analysis of
the country’s export trends, district-level
performance, and insights from the
analysis of states and UTs. It highlights
the achievements made in surpassing
export targets despite challenging
circumstances and acknowledges the
collaborative efforts of the government
and state governments in creating a
resilient export ecosystem.
The report begins by analyzing global and
Indian export trends, examining trade
patterns and sector-specific performance.
It highlights the need to focus on districts
as export hubs and describes the steps
taken by the government to promote this
approach. The report also identifies the
top exporting districts of India’s best-
performing states, providing valuable
insights for other states to develop
tailored export promotion strategies.
The framework for third edition has
incorporated new and revised indicators,
with a focus on districts. It introduces new
district-level parameters to capture the
evolving export landscape. The index is
divided into four dynamic pillars and sub-
pillars, providing a detailed assessment
of each state’s export preparedness. The
performance analysis at the country, pillar,
and sub-pillar levels identifies strengths
and areas for improvement, serving as a
valuable tool for states to identify areas
to improve their export preparedness. The
report also provides detailed state profiles
of select states, and scorecards which can
be helpful for states and UTs to assess
their strengths and weaknesses in terms of
export preparedness relative to their peers.
Based on the findings, the report offers
key recommendations to drive policy
action at sub national level, which can help
further strengthen India’s position as an
export powerhouse. The recommendations
highlight the importance of leveraging
India’s diversity, and encouraging
innovation and productivity enhancements.
The report also emphasizes the need for
continued evaluation and inclusion of
indicators to ensure the index’s relevance
in capturing the evolving export landscape.
In conclusion, the report aims to propel
India toward achieving the target of
merchandise exports valued over US$ 1
Trillion by harnessing its diverse strengths,
fostering regional competitiveness, and
positioning itself as a key player in the
global south export market. Improving
collaboration between states, and state
and Centre, India can achieve sustained
export growth and leverage it for
development in the country.
The Index is a key
component of the report,
offering
a comprehensive
evaluation framework for
regions to assess their
export preparedness. 23Export Preparedness Index 2022 24Export Preparedness Index 2022 25Export Preparedness Index 2022
01INTRODUCTION
Exports are important drivers of growth as they allow
a country to move beyond their domestic markets and
tap into larger markets and access new opportunities.
Exposure of businesses to global markets encourages
them to push for higher productivity and efficiency to
increase their competitiveness. Revenue generated by
exports can be used to invest in research, improving
production capacities, creating employment, and
strengthening infrastructure in a country. Thus,
by contributing to improving the overall economic
performance, exports help in development of a
country. India with its trade policies has been
leveraging the growth potential of exports to foster
development in the country. 26
Despite challenges such as disrupted
supply chains and a recovering
manufacturing sector, India surpassed
this target nine days ahead of schedule,
thanks to its robust export strategy.
The credit for this success goes to
the increased focus on FTAs, and the
collaborative effort of Centre and state
governments to build a robust export
ecosystem.
To improve India’s global trade footprint,
development in export preparedness at
a sub-national level is crucial. Thus, a
continuous evaluation of states in terms
of preparedness, helps in identifying and
addressing their challenges, and help
them address these challenges with
robust strategies. In this line, Export
Preparedness Index is a data-driven
study aimed to serve as a tool for states
to evaluate their export performance
across 56 indicators, and identify the
underlying cause to their challenges.
Therefore, in the third iteration of the
Export Preparedness Index, the study
is aimed to evaluate Indian states’ and
UTs across dynamic indicators which
capture their export preparedness. Along
with ranking the states according to their
performance, this iteration has a focus on
districts being the drivers of exports.
To this end, the report is divided into
three broad sections –
The first section of the report consists of two chapters. Chapter 2 provides an in-depth analysis of trade trends in 2021-22, starting with a global perspective and then narrowing down to India. The chapter compares the trade of merchandise and services globally with the previous year, 2020-21, to understand the factors influencing global trade in 2021-22 and their impact on various countries. It also offers a brief overview of regional and sectoral trade, including
exporting merchandise
valued over US$ 400 Billion
in the fiscal year 2021-22

the implications of the Russo-Ukraine
War on global trade. The subsequent
Chapter 3 focuses on India’s merchandise
and services trade in 2021-22, examining
it by sectors. The analysis delves into
the trends of the top six commodities
exported by India, accompanied by an
examination of the circumstances that
influenced those trends. The chapter also
highlights the need to emphasize districts
as new centers of exports and discusses
the government’s efforts in this direction.
Furthermore, it provides an overview of
India’s export districts, focusing on export
concentration at the district level and
analyzing the top exporting districts in
the best-performing states. The strategies
adopted by these states at the district
level serve as a roadmap for other
states to develop context-specific export
promotion strategies.
The second section of the report
consists of three chapters. The first
chapter covers the explanation of
this year’s export preparedness index
followed by an analysis of the states’
performance on the index. Building on
the learnings from previous iterations,
the methodology for this iteration has
been updated– by adding, modifying,
and removing indicators, based on
the feedback and suggestions from
stakeholder consultation meetings. The
index is divided into four dynamic pillars,
composed of sub-pillars containing
indicators deemed necessary to evaluate
a state’s performance. Changes have
been made at the indicator level, with
focus on district-level indicators related
to the One District One Product scheme,
the number of exporting districts in a
state, and the database of exporters at
the district level. State-level indicators,
such as storage capacity, the utilization
of certificates of origin by exporters, and
the manufacturing sector’s contribution
to a state’s economy, have also been
incorporated. Additionally, the evaluation
of existing indicators has been refined,
such as considering the increase in
foreign direct investment (FDI) rather
than its absolute value, to better capture
a state’s export preparedness. Chapter
four briefly explains the methodology,
while chapter five analyzes the
performance on the index at the country,
pillar, and sub-pillar levels, followed by
concise state profiles. This section serves
as a valuable tool for states to identify
areas for improvement and to guide their
efforts in the right direction.
The third section, comprising
chapters seven and eight, presents
key learnings from the index and
provides recommendations based
on the states’ performance. Chapter
seven contextualizes the index findings
at a national level, with the aim of
driving policy changes across states.
The subsequent recommendations
initiate a discussion on the necessary
changes to help India become an export
powerhouse, leveraging exceptional
performance across all regions. Lastly,
chapter eight offers insights into the way
forward for India in the evolving global
context. 28
Overall, the report seeks to
comprehensively evaluate
India’s export scenario
at the country, state,
and district level. The
evaluation is undertaken
to provide valuable
insights to states and other
stakeholders to identify
areas of improvement
and implement
targeted strategies.
By encouraging peer-
learning among states/
UTs, improving regional
export preparedness,
and harnessing India’s
heterogeneity this report
aims to help India in
positioning itself as a
lucrative trading partner in
the world.

GLOBAL ECONOMY
AND EXPORTS 32Export Preparedness Index 2022
Introduction2.1
Global trade in 2021 showed strong
signs of recovery from the shocks
caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Various conducive factors such as rise in
demand for goods after the disruptions
caused by the pandemic, increase in
spending due to favorable fiscal policies,
widespread distribution of vaccine, and
easing of pandemic-caused restrictions
bore well for trade of services, and led
to a 27 percent and 16 percent year-on-
year increase in trade of merchandise
and services, respectively. The growth,
however, was not uniform across both
halves of 2021, as tightening of monetary
and fiscal policies, and the rise of new
variant caused trade to slow down in the
second half of the year (UN, 2022). Still
set on a path to recovery, IMF projected a
growth rate of
However, the Russo-Ukrainian war in
February 2022 and the resulting crises
led to another economic slowdown.
The projection by IMF was cut down to
3.6 percent. Since Russia and Ukraine
were the leading exporters of grain, oil
and natural gas, these sectors faced
the biggest brunt in terms of slowdown.
Peripheral impact of the war was felt in
global economy, which suffered from a
rise in prices and supply-chain disruptions.
Lingering effects of the pandemic, coupled
with a new crisis slowed the recovery in
global trade.
The global trade hit a value of US$ 28.5
trillion in 2021, which was 1.25 times
higher than the trade value in 2020
and 1.13 times of the pre-pandemic
trade value. The growth was higher in
the trade of merchandise and goods,
but trade in services also registered a
peak which equaled the pre-pandemic
levels in Q4 of 2021. Across the year, the
growth in global trade was not uniform.
In the first half of the year, this increase
was attributed to the rise of demand
in goods from the developed countries
which was facilitated by the stimulus
packages distributed by their governments
which in turn increased the spending
capacity of the citizens. This allowed
them to purchase goods at a higher price,
which were exported by the developing
countries, leading to an increase in the
value of global merchandise trade. In
addition to that, the vaccination drive

(IMF, 2022). 33Export Preparedness Index 2022
undertaken by various countries allowed the trade in services
to flourish, as restrictions were eased. In the second half of
the year, the emergence of a new variant of the virus caused
new restrictions to be levied in various countries, leading to a
slowdown in growth of trade of services and goods. In addition
to that, as the effects of stimulus packages began to wear-off,
and commodity prices kept on increasing, the fall in demand
was reflected in the global trade with growth rate which kept
on decreasing quarterly from Q2 to Q4 in 2021. Albeit the rate
remained positive year-on-year, it was expected to continue
slowing down quarterly and keep the trade values for the first
quarter of 2022 at the level comparable to Q4 of 2021 (UN,
World Economic Situation and Prospects, 2022).

The challenges which began with the
onset of the pandemic still affected the
global trade both in merchandise and
services. Businesses did not hold extra
inventory of goods, and existing supply
chain issues made them ill-prepared for
the swing in demand caused by new
waves of the pandemic. Furthermore,
due to restrictions and other external
factors, shipping costs continued to rise
in the world. A container that costed
US$ 1446 to ship in 2019, costed above
US$ 10000 in 2021 (UN, World Economic
Situation and Prospects, 2022). This
coupled with labor shortage, lack of
storage and increased congestion in
ports affected both supply and price of
the commodities, as delivery got delayed
and cost increased. An example of it was
seen in the semiconductor industry, which
faced acute supply shortage and led to a
butterfly effect on various other industries
which relied on semiconductors, such as
the automobile industry. Since a large
portion of the European economy is
dependent on automobiles, the shortages
caused an economic slowdown in
European countries. Although, the
semiconductor industry responded by
increasing production and recording the
highest ever yearly sales of US$ 555.9
Billion, with over 1.15 trillion units sold in
2021. This was an increase of 26.2% over
2020 (SIA, 2022). However, the chips, as
essential as they are, continued to remain
in short supply owing to the supply-chain
issues. Different challenges continued to
impart variance to trade regionally, with
some regions performing better while
other regions continued to suffer.
Global Trade Trends2.2
Regionally, the growth in trade showed divergence across countries due to their varied policy response, virus containment strategies, and other factors. Overall, developing countries as a group showed a higher increase in exports than developed countries. The difference was around 15 percent in favor of the developing countries from Q4 2021 to Q4 2020 (UNCTAD, 2022). Increased demands in the developed countries were met by the developing countries which led to this improvement. 35Export Preparedness Index 2022
Globally, China and US emerged as the
highest exporters of merchandise in
2021, having a share of 15.1 percent
and 7.8 percent of global merchandise
trade, respectively. Sector-wise, trade
in manufactured goods held a global
share of 68 percent among all trade in
merchandise. Among manufactured
goods, trade in iron and steel showed
the highest growth, over 60 percent
in 2021. This signifies the increased
demand for goods and industrial inputs
by countries in a bid to improve their
economy following a period of disruption
caused by the pandemic. The following
section briefly discusses the global trade
performance of various countries and
breaks it down sector-wise.

United States
In the United States, due to rising domestic demand and poor external
demands coupled with short supply of industrial inputs caused by global
shortages, there was an economic slowdown (UN, 2022). The domestic
demand in the country was facilitated by the stimulus packages disbursed by
the government in the wake of the pandemic, which increased the spending
capacity of the citizens. However, lack of inputs and labor shortage hampered
its ability to meet these demands domestically leading it to increase imports.
The US recorded a 20 percent increase in import of goods in 2021 from its
2019 average, whereas quarterly (Q3 to Q4 2021), it registered an increase
of 5 percent. The export of goods also showed a year-on-year growth (over
2019) of 12 percent, and 3 percent quarterly (Q3 to Q4 2021). This deficit led
to a projected deceleration of the US economy, which grew at 5.5 percent in
2021, to 3.5 percent in 2022 (UNCTAD, 2022). Other factors contributing to
this slowdown were the loss in momentum of a consumption-driven recovery
which was facilitated by stimulus packages, rising rates of inflation, and
continuing labor shortages due to the oncoming waves of the virus.

Similarly, the European Union also suffered setbacks, as the automotive
industry cut production due to semiconductor shortage. Dwindling oil
production by the OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries)
countries in the Middle East affected oil exports leading to a rise in prices.
High prices of energy and oil therefore, continued to impact EU’s industrial
output which led to a slow growth in EU’s global trade. This further impacted
its imports which grew at a substantially higher rate, causing a deficit. In
addition to that, restrictions caused by the pandemic led to fall in the trade
of services which affected the European economy. European countries which
relied heavily on tourism were poorly affected by the new variant of virus, and
its ensuing restrictions, and thus recorded economic contractions. Tourism
levels in the world were down by 76 percent from 2019 and by 20 percent from
2020 to 2021. (UN, 2022).

China, on the other hand, had an effective virus containment strategy which
allowed it to continue production at full capacity in 2021. This allowed it to
meet the rising demand of electronics, information technology equipment
and automobiles from developed countries, who themselves suffered from
industrial crisis. As a result, the Chinese economy grew at an estimated 7.8
percent in 2021. However, as the demand decreased in 2022 due to inflation
and pandemic caused restrictions, the growth rate of the Chinese economy
was estimated to be moderate 5.2 percent in 2022. The increased exports from
China helped improve trade performances in several other Asian countries.
China recorded a 43 percent growth in exports of goods in 2021 over the 2019
average, and a 6 percent increase in Q4 over Q3 of 2021 (UNCTAD, 2022)
(UN, 2022). Therefore, focus on vaccination, containment of the virus, and
investment in sectors with high multipliers hold the key to improved trade
performance in the post-pandemic world. 41Export Preparedness Index 2022
SECTOR-WISE TRADE TRENDS OF GOODS AND SERVICES
In line with the global economic situation,
trends emerged in the sector-wise
distribution of the global trade. Broadly,
the trade in manufactured goods grew by
22 percent in 2021, following a contraction
of 5 percent in the previous year.
After a contraction in the automobile
industry due to semiconductor shortage,
improved production of semiconductors
and improvement in global supply chain
resulted in a 15.2 percent increase in the
export of automotive products. Other
sectors which showed high growth,
among manufactured goods, were office
equipment, textiles and chemicals (WTO,
2022). Increased demand across the
world, which has been the driving force
behind global trade rebound, led to rise
in the global fuel prices. Low production
by the OPEC countries accentuated the
prices which rose by 73 percent in 2021.
This increase in prices, coupled with high
demand led to a 64 percent increase in
global fuel exports valued at US$ 2.5
trillion.
the growth was highest in
the trade of iron and steel,
which can be attributed to
the demand of industrial
inputs to meet the global
demand.

Another impact of high shipping costs
was seen on insurance services, which
grew by 30 percent over 2019 levels.
Low frequency and high demand led to
an increase in the insurance premium
of transportation. With increased
dependence on virtual means, there was
a corresponding rise in the computer
services exported in the world. Computer
services rose by 21 percent in 2021, year-
on-year, and by 34 percent over 2019.
On the other hand, construction services
registered a growth of 11 percent over
the previous year, but still lagged behind
its 2019 levels. This is the result of the
global shortage of labor, and a high
dependency on imports of industrial
inputs by various countries. As a whole,
These trends emphasise the changing
priorities in the post-pandemic world,
where digital services are in higher
demand (WTO, 2022).

Global trade growth showed signs of slowdown from 2021 as we entered
2022, but it was still set on a path to recovery from the disruptions
caused by the pandemic. However, the war in Ukraine triggered a chain
of events which led to another slowdown in the global economy and
negatively affected global trade. As the war rages on, it continues to
add to global inflation leading to rise in prices of essential commodities
like food and oil. Deep trade relations with Russia have been severely
affected as it has faced sanctions from countries across the world. This
has the potential to jeopardize the path of post-pandemic recovery the
world was set on (UN, World Economic Situation and Prospects mid-
2022, 2022). The impact was most heavy on the trade of grains and
oil. Ukraine and Russia are the dominant exporters of cereal crops such
as wheat, maize, and barley with markets all over the world. Nearly 29
percent of all wheat exports in the world come from Russia and Ukraine
(GRO-Intelligence, 2022). Countries in the Middle East and North Africa
rely heavily on these wheat imports and thus suffer more from this war
and its ensuing sanctions (Ritchie, 2022)

Similar impact was seen on the global oil market. As the invasion began
on 24th February 2022, price of oil surged from US$ 8/barrel to US$ 105/
barrel in anticipation of the sanctions against Russia. Russia is the largest
exporter of oil in the global market, and the second-largest crude oil
exporter trailing Saudi Arabia. 60 percent of oil exports from Russia go
to Europe, which is its largest market, whereas China and the Americas
accounted for 20 and 17 percent of its exports respectively (IEA, 2022).
Inversely, 39 percent of all Oil imports in OECD Europe come from Russia.
Similarly, Russian oil contributes to 9 percent of all oil imports in the
United States. (IEA, 2022). However, as Europe and US sanctioned Russia
and stopped its oil imports in their countries, it turned to India and China
for the majority of exports. These two countries, and Turkey accounted
for 70% of all Russian crude oil exports in 2022. The sanctions were also
levied on the cost at which Russia could sell its oil, and thus India and
China have been buying oil at a cheaper price than the global benchmark.
India, seizing this opportunity began refining the crude oil and exporting it
to previously Russian markets of European countries (BBC, 2023). 45Export Preparedness Index 2022 46Export Preparedness Index 2022 47Export Preparedness Index 2022

INDIA’S EXPORT
TRENDS
Following global trends, evaluating India’s performance is
the next step. With an unprecedented situation at hand,
India looked to improve on its earlier approach to global
trade and formulate a new approach. This approach has
been pivotal to India’s trade policy, where it prioritized
trade opportunities while balancing geopolitics. 48Export Preparedness Index 2022
This has been in line with India’s
continued efforts to increase its exports.
Over the last few years, India has begun
exporting goods to newer markets.
Prime Minister in an address cited the
export of Sitabhog Mithai to Bahrain,
King Chilli of Nagaland to London and
Mahua products from Chattisgarh to
France. In a bid to increase markets, the
government has been signing Free Trade
Agreements (FTAs) with newer countries
such as Australia and UAE, which were
signed in 2022(PTI, 2022). As relations
between China and US worsen, India
stands poised to seize the opportunity to
introduce itself as a preferred destination
for semiconductor manufacturing
companies (Mihindukulasuriya &
Bhargava, 2023). The government,
therefore, intends to leverage the
impending growth in the semiconductor
market which is poised to grow up to US$
1 trillion (ETTech, 2023). To this end, India
has been approaching Taiwan which has
expertise in machinery and equipment
related to semiconductor production to
create a manufacturing hub in India. If
successful, this would plant India at the
center of a global commodity, growth in
which shows no signs of slowing down
(Mukhopadhay, 2022). India showed
steady improvement in exports and
positioned itself as resilient in the face of
a global slowdown. The following section
delves deep into India’s performance by
breaking its export performance sector-
wise and understanding its current
approach to trade agreements.
Despite global slowdown,
India’s exports in 2021-22

India’s Trade Trends of Merchandise
and Services: Introduction3.1
Over the years, India’s export value
had been on an upward trend until the
pandemic caused the growth to slow
down. In line with the global economy,
the value of Indian exports declined by
6.7 percent during 2020-21 over 2019-
20, due to the disruptions caused by
the COVID-19 pandemic (Ministry of
Commerce and Industry, 2023). However,
India was resilient in the face of a global
slowdown after the pandemic, as it
showed signs of growth in trade during
2020-21. The trend continued in 2021-
22, as Indian exports in merchandise
recorded an unprecedented peak. The
value of merchandise exports crossed
US$ 400 billion in FY2022, an ambitious
goal set by the government, reaching
up to US$ 422 billion by March 2022
(Ministry of Commerce and Industry,
2023). The cause of this performance was
manifold. Globally, the increase in prices
of commodities and rise in demand from
developed countries helped increase
India’s merchandise exports. Locally, the
phased rollout of vaccine, and effective
unlocking of the economy helped India
increase its production to match the
global demand.

year, due to the restrictions caused by the pandemic, which severely affected
tourism, hospitality, and transport services. However, in 2021-22, Indian
export of services recorded its highest value at US$ 254.4 billion,
registering a 23 percent growth over 2020-21 (Ministry of Commerce
and Industry, 2023). Sector-wise, telecommunication and computer
services were the major exports followed by professional
services such as consulting services, or research services
(PIB, 2022). Gradual investments in making India an IT hub
have borne fruit as the demand of virtual services has
increased globally due to the pandemic. India?s robust
IT industry stood poised to seize that opportunity and
therefore, helped Indian exports attain these heights.

EXPORT VALUE OF SERVICES IN USD BILLION
Despite restrictions caused by the
pandemic which constrained transport
and hospitality services, India’s export
of software and professional services
buoyed its global trade in services. Within
the software service exports, computer
services accounted for nearly two-thirds
of all the exports.
Overall, India’s export of software
services was estimated to have increased
by 17.2 percent to a value of US$ 156.7
billion in 2021-22. Software service
exports is a group of various services
such as computer services, information
technology-enabled services, and
telecommunication services. Business
Process Outsourcing (BPOs) accounted
for nearly 84 percent of information
technology-enabled services. The primary
destination for India’s software service
export remained to be US and Canada
which had a 55.4 percent share, followed
by Europe (RBI, 2022). India’s long-term
investment in IT industry, improved
digitization in the country, and the shift to
virtual modes in the post-pandemic world
can be the reason for this rise in software
service exports.
Service exports reached an
all-time high of over US$ 250
billion in 2021-22 for India.

Over the year, the trade in services in
2021-22 continued to improve monthly
year-on-year over 2020-21 and registered
an annual improvement of around
US$ 48 billion. Business services which
consist of consulting services, research
and development services, etc. were the
second largest export from the country
followed by transport services at 3rd
(PIB, 2022). India, therefore, benefitted
from high transport costs in the world
following the rise in the global demand of
goods.

Following the pandemic-caused

target of US$ 400 billion. With the global
economy facing a downturn, the target
seemed lofty and unachievable. However,
with persistent efforts by the government
and by leveraging trade opportunities,
Identifying and entering new international markets while encouraging domestic manufacturers has contributed to this milestone. Conducive policy environment was built to help manufacturers increase their production while focusing on

quality which could create a competitive
product for the international market. Firm
backward and forward linkages between
stakeholders, right from the district level
to the global market, were established to
coordinate an action plan necessary to
improve India’s export performance (PIB,
2022). The success of such a targeted
action helped India position itself as a
resilient and robust economy in the global
landscape. Commodity-wise, export of
engineering goods, petroleum, gems and
precious metals, and textiles recorded
high growth among others (Ministry
of Commerce and Industry, 2023). This
section examines the merchandise export
performance of India in 2021-22 and
briefly discusses key commodities which
contributed to this robust performance.

Engineering Goods is a composite
category containing Iron and Steel
products, Aluminum Products,
Automotive parts, Machinery, and
Industrial Equipment, etc. India, with
its drive to improve the manufacturing
sector has been focusing extensively
on promoting these goods. To compete
in the international markets, the goods
need to have quality while recording
high levels of production. To facilitate
this, the government has launched
various initiatives such as the ‘Make
in India’ campaign which incentivizes
entrepreneurs to manufacture their
products in India. Other initiatives include,
Production Linked Incentive Scheme,
National Monetization Pipeline, National
Investment Pipeline, Atmanirbhar
Packages, among others (Garg,
2022). Targeted initiatives have slowly
contributed to building a foundation
in the country, which could be used to
leverage the global trade opportunities
presented in the post-pandemic world.
A chain reaction which began with the
distribution of stimulus packages in
the developed countries, created high

demand of manufactured goods in
the global market (UN, 2022). To meet
that, various countries began importing
industrial inputs. India, with its iron and
steel industry, catapulted its exports
of iron, steel and industrial machinery.
In addition to that, the slump in the
automotive industry in Europe following
semiconductor and labor shortages
helped India export automotive parts
to those countries. All these factors, led
to India’s export of engineering goods
to flourish and reach a value of over
US$ 108 billion in 2021-22 (Ministry of
Commerce and Industry, 2023).
China, with its high production during
2021-22, emerged as the highest
importer of engineering goods from
India and stood at 48 percent. This
was followed by the United States, at
15 percent, which had a high domestic
demand and low levels of production
due to pandemic-induced labor shortage.
Exports to European countries, such
as Germany (3 percent) and Italy (3
percent), increased due to high demand
of automotive products and their inability
to meet that demand domestically.
Therefore, investment in the sector by the
government rendered India capable to
meet global demand and thus, provide
a necessary boost to its manufacturing
sector (Ministry of Commerce and
Industry, 2023).

increased shipping costs, to lack and
misallocation of shipping containers,
among others. Despite this, targeted
efforts of government agencies like
Department of Commerce, Agriculture

Improved market linkages, using Farmer
Producer Organisations (FPOs), facilitated
by the government have further ensured
that farmers directly benefit from the
export of their products. High food prices
globally, in the face of shortages caused
by aforementioned supply-side issues,
have also contributed to these high
trade values. A recurrent theme in India’s
trade in FY2022 is the country’s ability
to leverage global trade opportunities
and benefit from them. The momentum
thus gained over the past years can
prove beneficial for the sector in the

textiles, which includes textiles used
in automotive industries, as protective
clothing, or medical textiles, etc., reported
a 28 percent growth over 2020-21 during
2021-22, to reach an export value of US$
2.85 billion. This has been the outcome
of the government’s National Technical
Textiles Mission which had a budget of
over 1400 crores to be spent over 4 years.
Academic institutes are also onboarded
to impart courses on the creation of
technical textiles to interested individuals
in a bid to create a new market space
(ANI, 2023). To facilitate this, grants and
stipends are given to eligible students
to encourage them to undertake this
venture. This highlights the government's
vigor to diversify its export products and
tap into newer markets. These efforts
are important in the long run as they
help create a healthy trade system for
the country which is not reliant on a few
products.

The export of Gems and Precious metals
had a resurgence in 2021-22 following a
decline in 2020-21. The sector witnessed
a growth of 55 percent during 2021-22
over the previous year, and exported
merchandise valued at US$ 39 billion
(Ministry of Commerce and Industry,
2023). Product-wise, growth was
registered in cut and polished diamonds,
studded gold jewelry, silver jewelry, and
lab-grown diamonds. Diamond exports
grew by 31 percent to reach a value of
US$ 24.4 billion, whereas the export of
lab-grown diamonds, which are seen
as a sustainable alternative, rose by
212 percent to US$ 1.3 billion in 2021-
22 (GJPEC, 2023). This growth was
attributed to the easing of restrictions in
destination countries, increase in income
in developed countries and subsequent
improvement in spending, which in turn
created the demand of luxury products
such as gems. However, volatility in
the market due to the Russia-Ukraine
conflict and poor consumer sentiment
due to oncoming waves of the virus kept
the traders cautious. Domestically, the
signing of FTAs with key destinations
such as UAE and favorable commitments,
such as reduction in duty on diamonds
and gemstones, better regulations for
online trade of gems in the country, and
legislation for the development of Special
Economic Zones in the budget have
contributed to this growth in the trade of
gems in the country (GJPEC, 2023).

This growth was a result of multiple
factors which affected the global trade in
oil. As countries eased their restrictions,
caused by the pandemic, the demand
for oil began to shoot up. However, since
production was low in major oil producing
countries, the price of oil in the global
market increased manifold. Starting from
around $60/barrel in April 2021, the price
of oil reached over $80/barrel in October
2021 (OPEC, 2022). High shipping rates
and misallocation of containers, among
other logistical issues caused by the virus,
contributed to this price rise in 2021-
22. As prices began to stabilize, the war
between Russia and Ukraine impacted the
oil supply of the world. India leveraged this
global demand and price rise to improve
its export value of petroleum. India’s
export of refined petroleum, fuel oil and
lubricants were distributed across the
world. India exported the highest amount
of petrol to Singapore, followed by UAE
and The Netherlands. The ability of the
country to seize global trade opportunities
has paid high dividends this year, as India
more than doubled the export of petroleum
owing to conducive global trade factors.
Petroleum exports from India experienced a growth of 2.6 times their 2020-21 value in FY2022.

India’s pharmaceutical sector sustained
the growth in global trade it had achieved
in 2020-21 in FY2022. Total value of the
exports for the year 2021-22 stood at US$
24 billion, which is an 18 percent increase
over the pre-pandemic levels of exports
(Ministry of Commerce and Industry, 2022).
The third largest pharmaceutical industry
in the world, India has a very competitive
pharmaceutical industry. Having a
state-of-the-art infrastructure and trained
human capital results in world-class
manufacturing of pharma products. 29%
of India’s exports go to the USA, which is
the country with the single highest share,
followed by multiple European countries.

India: States and Districts3.3
State-wise Trends3.3.1
India’s growth in exports was supported by increased efforts from state governments
to increase production of existing products, boost investment in the industries and
identification of newer products to export. Over the year 2021-22, states like Odisha,
Gujarat and Karnataka emerged as the top states in terms of growth when compared
with the pre-pandemic year of 2019-20. State-wise, Gujarat topped the export share in
2021-22, with over 30 percent of India’s total merchandise exports, valued at US$ 127
billion, coming from the coastal state. In terms of growth, Gujarat doubled its export
value this year, when compared with the US$ 63 billion worth of goods it exported
before the pandemic. Primary products exported by Gujarat are petroleum-based,

with petrol itself being the topmost
commodity, followed by gems, stones
and precious metals. This was followed
by Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu, which
had a share of US$ 73 and US$ 35 billion,
respectively (Seth, 2022). Maharashtra’s
primary exports include drugs and
formulations, gems and precious metals,
and iron and steel whereas Tamil Nadu
is the exporter of Textiles and Garments,
Leather Goods, Automobiles and
Components, among others. The growth
rate of these states, over pre-pandemic
level, was 13 percent for Maharashtra
and 17 percent for Tamil Nadu. This
rate is less than half of the national
average growth rate of 35 percent over
the pre-pandemic year. On the other
hand, seven states in India – Gujarat,
Karnataka, Odisha, Telangana, West
Bengal, Rajasthan, and Madhya Pradesh
outpaced the national average growth
rate. Among them, Odisha increased its
exports by 156 percent over 2019-20,
valuing at US$ 17 billion (Seth, 2022).
Its primary exports included iron, steel,
aluminum, and iron ore in 2021-22.
On similar lines, Karnataka, while
exporting petroleum products,
RMG cotton, iron and steel,
electronic instruments, and
electronic components
increased its
exports by 56 percent. Conversely,
exports from Delhi and Kerala declined
by 20 and 56 percent respectively (Seth,
2022). Other than Haryana and Uttar
Pradesh, among the top ten states in
term of export values, all states had
a coastline. Increased access to ports
has a positive impact on a state’s
ability to export. Impact of COVID-19
induced restrictions still lingered in some
states, where production and supply
lines got compromised. Issues such as
shortage of labor, lack of investment,
lack of transport, etc. caused exports to
decline, in both value and growth rate,
in some states. Overall, however, trade
showed a strong recovery in FY2022.
With continued efforts by the state
governments to promote their products
and manufacturers, the country
has reached the milestone
of crossing US$ 400
billion in export
value. 70 Export Preparedness Index 2022 71Export Preparedness Index 2022
TOP TEN STATES
This share is an increase from the
previous two years where it was 79
percent and 77 percent, respectively
(Seth, 2022). This high concentration of
exports is detrimental for the country
in the long run as it percolates the
cashflow from exports to few regions in
a country, leading to regional disparity
in terms of development. Regions with
high trade attract higher investment
in terms of both capital and human
capital, which has a chain-effect on
the region’s industrial development.
However, since investment and
human capital is limited, this industrial
concentration withdraws resources
from other regions of the country,
leading them to a path of less industrial
development. To overcome this, India
needs to make efforts to diversify its
export basket and promote exports
from all states. This will improve the
competitiveness in the country and will
have a positive impact on the quality
and innovation of our products. Quality
products will have a better demand
and thus, have the potential to further
improve the exports from the country.
Exposure to international markets would
help Indian manufacturers become aware
of the global demands and make them
better prepared to cater to them. As a
step in the right direction, India identified
districts as the driver of exports in the
country. To bolster this vision, India
began promoting local products from
every district of the country for exports
under the ‘One District One Product’
scheme. The next section of the report
deals with understanding this approach
and the corresponding policy framework
regarding the promotion of districts as
the driver of exports.

Districts as the Driver of Exports3.4
Decentralization of export
promotion to districts is
the next step to overcome
the regional disparity that
exists at the state-level in the
country.
As discussed above, few
states are responsible for majority of
the countries’ exports which paves way
for uneven development concentrated
in few regions of the country. For a
more equitable approach to exports,
diversification of our export basket
is important. India, with its inherent
diversity has a plethora of products
which can find suitable global markets
with the right guidance. Identification
of districts as export hubs would allow
local potential, in the form of local
products, to be unlocked in the country.
Promoting local products requires
efforts at the grassroot level, which
cannot be efficiently done by either
the central or the state governments.
Active participation by the district-level
government bodies in engaging with
local stakeholders for export promotion
is crucial for India’s bid to diversify its
export basket.
Locally, the objective of the government
bodies should be to identify products
which can be exported to international
markets, identify these markets, and
help manufacturers in boosting its
production and improving quality to
meet that market’s standards (DGFT &
DoC, 2021). Often manufacturers at the
local level do not have the means to
establish market linkages beyond their
local market, which hampers their ability
to grow. If they do find a market, the lack
of market intelligence, which they can
use to modify their product as per the
market’s demands, reduces their chances
of establishing their product in these
new markets. Therefore, they require
the support of the state machinery to
overcome these obstacles. To achieve
this, an institutional framework is
required at the state and district level
which provides an efficient mechanism
to promote goods produced at the local
level. This promotion will entail providing
guidance required by the manufacturers
in shaping their product and improving
its quality and production, assisting
them with establishing market linkages,
and giving them knowledge about the
market, which they can use to establish 73Export Preparedness Index 2022
themselves. This approach will help in getting rid of bottlenecks which exist in exporting
local goods (DGFT & DoC, 2021). Potential benefits include reduction in transaction
costs for the manufacturer as a product goes through the export cycle, improved
employment opportunities in the district, and boost in the local economy which can
have a cascading effect on the national economy and boost its growth.
Prime Minister in his Independence Day Speech in 2019, asserted that we identify
districts as the centers of export and trade and implored the
government to act towards unlocking their potential.
This announcement was followed by the ‘District
as Export Hubs’ initiative which aimed to
improve exports at the district level. As it
helps in the growth of local economy,
it contributes to the larger vision of
‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’, in tandem
with ‘Vocal for Local’ and ‘Make
in India’. Institutionally, the
formation of State Export
Promotion Committee
(SEPC) and District
Export Promotion
Committee (DEPC)
is the first step
towards this
approach
(DGFT & DoC, 75Export Preparedness Index 2022
2021). The role of DEPC is to formulate
a strategy for export promotion in the
district, after consulting with the local
stakeholders. This strategy would involve
identification of products which can be
exported, along with the plan to achieve
this goal. The plan thus formulated will
be called the District Export Action Plan
(DEAP), and every DEPC is mandated
to create it. The plan would focus on
actions that would enable the local
manufacturers and producers to produce
exportable goods in sufficient quantity
while maintaining quality of a standard
fitting the global market. Since the
involvement in district-level committees
is limited to district-level experts, it
is expected that their approach to
reforming and addressing the operational
issues and bottlenecks would be region-
centric and thus, more efficient. Use of
e-commerce and other digital means
to improve market exposure to local
MSMEs, artisans, craftsmen, farmers,
and other manufacturers, is another
objective of the committee (DGFT & DoC,
2021).
Acting on these guidelines, 674 districts
in India have formed a District Export
Promotion Committee while 557 districts
have formulated a District Export Action
Plan. These numbers look promising
and their impact on India’s exports is
expected to be immense. In addition to
District as Export Hubs (DEH) initiative,
another initiative called the One District
One Product (ODOP) was launched.
ODOP aimed to identify one product
from each district of the country which
can be exported to the global market.
The identification of these products
is supported by the export strategies
formulated in the export action plans.
Contributing to the promotion of local
artisans, manufacturers, and producers,
ODOP aims to unlock the potential of a
district. For efficient implementation of
the initiative, ODOP was merged with
the pre-existing DEH. In a remarkable
feat, 744 products have been identified
in the country including Blue Pottery
from Jaipur and Makhana Marbles
from Nagaur in Rajasthan. Efficient
implementation of these initiatives, with
active engagement and cooperation
from all stakeholders has the potential to
transform India’s exports. The planned
impact of the convergence of ODOP, and
District Export Action Plans is to span
across employment, revenue generation,
and uplifting local economy. Giving rise to
a competitive space in the export market,
these initiatives can help India achieve
an equitable growth across the country,
where prosperity is achieved in every
district of the country. To understand the
export profile of India, further sections
briefly look at the exports from the top
hundred districts of the country. 76Export Preparedness Index 2022

exports makes an economy vulnerable
to exogenous shocks, and thus creates
volatility in the country’s export numbers.
For example, if the country’s exports
are regionally concentrated, a disruptive
event in that region might severely
impact a country’s economy. Similarly,
if a commodity is the dominant export
of a country, trends in demand and
supply of this product, will directly impact
the exporting country’s economy. On
the other hand, a diversified export
basket and a low regional concentration
contribute to the robustness of a
country’s economy.
Source: Ministry of Commerce Dashboard
Therefore, in order to achieve a robust
economy, steps to diversify our exports
– both regionally and product-wise had
to be undertaken. Thus, at the district
level, initiatives like Districts as Export
Hubs and One District One Product were
launched. This approach aims to catapult
India’s existing regional diversity to the
global market, and thus leverage districts’
potential to build a robust and diversified
export basket. To further understand
India’s export we look at the export
profiles of top performing states in the
country.

stand at 15th and 24th position, in terms
of export value, in the country. Developed
as a part of the Kakinada Development
project, top exports from both districts
are Engineering Goods. Specifically,
Vishakhapatnam also exports organic
and inorganic chemicals, drugs and
pharmaceuticals, and marine products.
East Godavari district has a large number
of rice mills and, falls under the Kakinada
Special Economic Zone, and therefore
exports rice and electronic goods as other
principal commodities. The two districts
are connected with Kolkata via land and
have access to international waterways
owing to their coastal proximity, resulting
in ease of transportation which in turn
facilitates trade. In line with the vision
of Districts as Export Hubs, the district
export action plans have identified
coconut-based products, alloys, cashew,
coir, and sugar as potential exports.
To move in that direction, the districts
require information to disseminate
knowledge in terms of value addition,
global trade and management of
products. Expanding its export basket,
and creating a conducive environment
to multiply its export value can prove
beneficial for the state, which is gifted in
terms of natural resources.

Gujarat
The state of Gujarat has the highest
number of districts, 8, in the top 25
export districts in the country. Other
than Jamnagar, the districts of Surat,
Bharuch and Ahmedabad are the
other high export districts of the state.
The state has a diverse export basket
with the top export of Surat, Bharuch,
and Ahmedabad being Gems and
Jewellery, Chemicals, and Drugs and
Pharmaceuticals respectively. Other
districts such as Valsad and Kachchh,
export insecticides and agriculture
products, whereas Vadodara exports
textiles as its principal commodity.
District-wise, the District Export
Promotion Council, constituted under
the district export hubs has identified
multiple potential exports, which can
lead to further diversification of Gujarat’s
exports. Kachchh, for example, has
devised a plan to promote the export
of Kachchh embroidery and Kachchh
Shawls, which will give a boost to its local
industry and entrepreneurs. Ahmedabad
has identified textiles and engineering
goods as sectors which hold potential
to export, and thus require targeted
intervention from the government. Efforts
have been made to enhance the export
performance in Gujarat by keeping
districts at the centre of this drive. The
successful implementation of this vision
can positively impact the competitiveness
in the export market, and thus have a
strong impact on the local economy.

The state of Maharashtra is dominated
by the high export performance of
Mumbai, Mumbai Suburban and Pune.
These three districts constitute over 10
percent of total exports from the country.
While the exports from Mumbai and
Mumbai Suburban are dominated by
diamonds and precious metals, Pune’s
top export is engineering goods owing
to the high industrialization in the
district. The district export action plans
of Mumbai and Mumbai Suburban have
identified chemical products, and textile
Figure 33 Leading export districts in Maharashtra
products – specifically nylon, as the key
potential exports from the districts. Both
districts have large number of industrial
units producing chemical products, nylon,
and cotton products. To tap into their
potential, the district export promotion
council has identified key target areas
such as dissemination of market
intelligence, improving quality standards
and access to international certification
industries, and monitoring the export
performance at the district level.
On similar lines, Pune has identified
agricultural products as potential
exports from the country. The key
agriculture products in the area, Mango,
Grapes, Wine, etc,. require processing
after harvesting which is proposed to
be moved closer to the production site
and save cost and time. In addition
to this, promotion of Farmer-Producer
Companies, which are a hybrid of
co-operative societies and corporate
bodies, is another step taken to improve
the quality of Agri-products from the
district. Key initiatives like these are part
of the drive to decentralize exports at
the district level and empower the local
economy to drive India’s global trade.

These districts have further identified
diverse export products, as their potential
targets, such as Biotechnological
Products, Marine Products, Software
services, and Auto Components.
Striking a balance between exporting
traditional products to boost heritage
economy, and foraying into newer
sectors has been at the core of Tamil
Nadu’s districts’ export promotion
policy. As a step in this direction, the
district governments, with the state
government’s assistance, are aiming to

of various leading players in the industry
such as Airbus, DRDO, and ISRO among
others. In addition to that it has the
largest IT and software industry in
India, and is its primary exporter. All
these sectors require an active role

Dakshin Kannada, on the other hand,
owing to its rich natural resources, has
identified agricultural products like
Cashew, Spices, Marine Products, and
Jack Fruit as its potential exports, along
with Auto components, and plastic items.
To achieve this, the district has identified
key steps in the form of setting up
testing labs to improve quality testing of
products as per international standards,
improving port connectivity to facilitate
exports, and investing in existing
industries to improve their production
capacity and product quality.
Successful undertaking of these initiatives
can help improve the export performance
of these districts. This can further serve
as the roadmap for other districts in the
state and contribute to improving export
competitiveness in the state, which will
have a positive impact on its economy.

Conclusion
Despite registering high numbers in FY
2022, exports from India were regionally
concentrated and dominated by a few
commodity groups. To put it in numbers,
over 85 percent of India’s exports came
from only hundred districts, whereas
80 percent of its exports belonged
to ten commodity groups. A highly
concentrated export market, as is
India, leaves its economy vulnerable to
exogenous events. Thus, to increase the
robustness of its economy, initiatives for
diversification of exports were the need
of the hour. Identifying this, Government
of India declared districts as the drivers
of exports in the country. To support this
declaration, various initiatives such as
Districts as Exports Hub, One District
One Product (ODOP) were launched,
accompanied by the formation of District
Export Promotion Councils (DEPCs)
tasked with the formulation of District
Export Action Plans (DEAPs). In essence,
ODOP was responsible for identification
of a product in each district of the
country, which can be exported to the
global market. To facilitate this, DEPC,
which were constituted in collaboration
with various local stakeholders, had
to formulate DEAPs which contained
strategies to export the identified
product, while also improving the existing
exports from the district. The task of an
action plan was to tackle issues such
as supply-chain management, quality
control, identification, and access
to markets, thus handholding local
entrepreneurs to enter and flourish in
the global market. Increased quality
products would increase competitiveness
in the market, which in turn would foster
innovation and growth thus leading to
prosperity in the country. Implementing
these initiatives can unlock the potential
of districts and thus transform India’s
export market and uplift the economy. 86Export Preparedness Index 2022
The top 25 districts, in terms of export share, collectively contribute 54
percent of the total exports from the country. Export Concentration is
calculated using Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI), which is used to
calculate market concentration and competitiveness. A concentrated
market has low competitiveness and is therefore, not suited for a healthy
economic environment. High value of HHI indicates high concentration
of exports to small regions in the country. This practice is considered
worrisome as it leaves the country more susceptible to trade shocks, or

any other unforeseen calamity, all of which become more powerful and
have the potential to disrupt the economy. A diversified market, or with low
concentration, is more robust as it breeds competitiveness which in turn
fosters innovation, and other practices which incentivize growth. In India,
10 of the top 25 districts have high or very high export concentration, which
needs immediate reforms. Six districts have medium concentration, whereas
9 districts have low export concentration which are promising figures. In
line with them, steps need to be taken to identify exportable products at
the district level. The manufacturers of these products should be guided
in terms of production levels and quality standards, so as to make their
product fitting to the global standards. These steps are crucial to improve
diversity of export baskets at the district level. Elaborating on export
concentration, we look at the highly concentrated district of Jamnagar.
Case in Point: Jamnagar
The contribution of Jamnagar alone, in 2021-22 is approximately equal to the contribution of Andhra Pradesh, Odisha and Haryana put together. Jamnagar was responsible for the export of goods worth around US$ 50 billion in 2021-22. Primarily, Jamnagar is
Jamnagar district in Gujarat contributes the largest share,
12.18%
of total exports from India for any district.
an exporter of Petroleum-based products, which represents over 95 percent of all its exports. Jamnagar is the home to the world’s largest oil refinery which was established here in 2001. Constructed by Reliance Industries Limited, this refinery can process 1.24 million barrel 88Export Preparedness Index 2022
streams per day. Geographically,
Jamnagar has a large coastline
and an uninterrupted access to the
Arabian Sea, which connects it to
Middle-East, Africa and Europe. The
geographical advantage, favourable
policy climate in Gujarat for
industries, and the presence of RIL
refinery has catapulted Jamnagar to
the top of the exports in India.
In addition to oil, Jamnagar has huge
reserves of bauxite which are used
to create aluminium products around
the country. Various enterprises
have been established around the
bauxite trade in Jamnagar, which
contribute to the local economy.
Jamnagar also has a thriving brass
jewellery manufacturing industry,
largely composed of MSMEs and
small artisans. The raw material for
this industry is brass scraps sourced
from around the world, which are then
refurbished to make useful products.
Since the trade of oil is much more
lucrative, it dominates the exports
from the district. However, Jamnagar
with its natural resources, and well-
established industry has the potential
to diversify its exports and provide a
boost to the local economy. Targeted
action by the government in this
direction can unlock the underlying
potential district, which is currently
dominated by one commodity. 89Export Preparedness Index 2022 90Export Preparedness Index 2022 91Export Preparedness Index 2022
04METHODOLOGY
The objective of the Export Preparedness Index (EPI) is to
evaluate the export performance and pending potential
of the Indian States and Union Territories. Additionally,
the index investigates the direct and indirect factors that
promote and support the export environment throughout
the region. The government and policymakers can use
it as an instrument to encourage healthy competition
among the states and union territories, thereby
strengthening India’s position in the export market. The
index has the potential to serve as a roadmap for the
states, as it identifies areas of strategic significance in
which the region excels or lags behind. 92Export Preparedness Index 2022
Establishing Framework for EPI
After a rigorous discussion with NITI
Aayog and other State Government
officials, the framework has been
improvised from last year's framework.
The basic structure of the framework
remains unchanged from the previous
edition. Although to enhance the
robustness of the index, a few new
indicators have been incorporated based
on stakeholder suggestions.

Framework
The framework consists of four main dimensions: Policy, Business Ecosystem, Export
Ecosystem and Export Performance. The rationale behind choosing these pillars is as
follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
A favourable trade policy in a region serves as the basis for the strategic
advantage of the region's stakeholders and as a guide for the state government.
The pillar addresses the most essential trade policies necessary for the growth
of export enterprises. It determines whether or not the specific export policy has
been implemented in the state.
A region’s ability to attract new investments is mainly dependent on the quality
of its infrastructure, connectivity, and access to capital. A conducive ecosystem
characterised by regulatory simplicity and a conducive environment stimulates
business activity. This pillar attempts to assess the performance of the states on
comparable criteria. The presence of a thriving business ecosystem strengthens
the backward and forward links of the exporting industry, thereby boosting
its output and growth. It encompasses a vast array of factors, including the
convenience of doing business, innovative capacity, cluster strength, financial
capability, and logistics.
In addition to the comprehensive facilitating environment in the state, the export
business ecosystem, which promotes competition and growth in the export-
specific sector, requires special consideration. The pillar includes indicators
such as the area of export promotion industrial parks, export promotion zones,
the existence of trade guides, the number of inspection agencies (NABCB
certification), and others that are crucial for attracting new investors and
boosting the productivity of existing ones.
Measuring export performance is essential for evaluating actual results. Unlike
other pillars, this one has an output-based dimension. It aids in determining how
much progress and development the states have made in the export sector. State
export performance is measured by the expansion and diversification of exports. 94Export Preparedness Index 2022
All the vital parameters, namely
Export Promotion Policy, Institutional
Framework, Business Environment,
Infrastructure, Transport Connectivity,
Export Infrastructure, Trade
Support, Research and Development
Infrastructure, Growth Orientation and
Export Diversification, have been covered
as sub-pillars under the four main
dimensions of the index.
The sub-pillars cover sixty indicators in
total.
Geographical Coverage
States
The index is designed to cover all the States and Union Territories (UTs) in the country.
India consists of 28 States and 9 Union territories at present. However, the index is not
able to cover 4 UTs due to information unavailability from the states.

The heterogeneity and the vastness that prevails in our country across states in
terms of geographical size, language, culture, and policies create complexities in the
index analysis. Every state differs in their ability to engage and perform in the export
sector given the availability of its natural resources; Demographic factors like an
ageing population and migration; Economic factors like a business ecosystem, and
infrastructure sociocultural factors like shared values and norms. This variation results
in extensive export potential, productivity, output and competitiveness. Thus, it will be
unfair to compare the states without acknowledging the existence of immense spatial
segregation in India.
Considering the abovementioned factors, the states have been classified into two
stages. First, the States/UTs have been distinguished based on their geographical area
into Major and Minor/Small States. Then, within each category, they have been further
segregated according to their geographical outreach -Major states into Coastal and
Landlocked states, Minor states into Himalayan states and Union territory/ Small states.

Access to ports is of strategic importance to any state when
engaging in international trade, as landlocked regions might
face the comparative disadvantage of high trade costs
and hindrances in the freedom of transit from the
seas. The seven sister states of India, with an
exemption of Assam, have been considered
under the category of Himalayan states and
the hilly states of North India due to their
geographical resemblance.
Goa has been placed in the category
of UTs/Small states due to its small
size. Despite being a coastal
state, its consideration under
that category would have
created challenges in terms
of comparative analysis. 96Export Preparedness Index 2022
Index Calculation
Indicator Selection and Data Collection
The indicators for the index have been cautiously chosen under their respective pillar
and sub-pillar, given the rationale and the conceptual linkage between the two.
They were approved after detailed discussions with Experts, NITI Aayog and State
governments. The state government provided data for the majority of the indicators
along with supporting documents. For remaining indicators, data was either collected
from publicly available government sources.
Source and Definition of each indicator are mentioned in APPENDIX - I & II.
This year’s Export Preparedness Index 2022 framework is an improved version of its
previous edition as it also includes information about the export-related policy at the
district level. In addition, 10 new indicators have been added this year, based on the
insights from the stakeholder meetings for a more comprehensive analysis.

Time Release Study’ (TRS) is a strategic tool to measure the actual time required for the release and/or clearance of goods,
from the time of arrival until the physical release of cargo, with a view to finding bottlenecks in the trade flow process and
taking necessary measures to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of border procedures. States have no role to play in this
Customs process and hence this parameter should be used for only inferences and not for ranking. Therefore, this indicator has
been dropped.
6
Only 8 out of 36 states were able to provide this data. Even though some states shared the response as yes, no data was
provided. Therefore, this indicator has been dropped.
7
Data on investor summits was not provided by 24 states and Uts according to requirement. It has been noted that most of the
states did not provide value for this indicator, moreover the response furnished by rest of the states has been not satisfactory
also in EPI 2021.Only Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra have provided right value break up with detailed
evidence of MOUs proposed and realised investment of Projects - with sector and district wise details. Therefore, this parameter
was dropped from evaluation.
8
We cannot continue with BRAP reforms implemented under labour regulation enablers for this indicator. It has been noticed that
BRAP 2020 vs BRAP 2021 has drastic differences and since the information could not be further verified by DPIIT. Therefore, this
indicator has been dropped. Moreover, implementing four labour codes is expected by 2023 as states have just rolled out draft
policies. That could be possibly best way to capture implementation of labour reforms in future EPI iterations.

As per the Master circular of RBI dated 01 July 2015, there is a provision for export credit which shall be disbursed by the banks
and the banks should continue to keep a close watch on end -use of the funds and ensure that credit at lower rates of interest is
used for genuine requirements of exports.
13
Linking R&D expenditure to Export growth index directly for a State doesn't appear to be fair for the following reasons - R&D in
most cases are a centralised activity. In most cases, R&D centres are opened in one place but its output is used in many states
and use of those outputs have a positive correlation with export. Expenditure on R&D is not uniformly divisible over all states or
regions.
14
Service exports data is not available at state level with DGFT, DGCIS and Ministry of Commerce and Trade
For a few indicators like TIES, District Export Plans we requested data from the state
government as well as Ministry. For the robustness and the uniformity of the data, we
have considered the data from the Ministry/DGFT in the calculation of the index. Also,
the latest available data has been considered in the calculation of the Index. 98Export Preparedness Index 2022

LEADS and EODB index scores of states and uts have not been made public therefore
rank of states and uts has been taken as criteria this year.
Dealing with Missing values
There were many instances where input data was not received from the state
government or the assigned Ministry, resulting in the problem of missing values. In such
cases, zero value was given to the state for the indicators if data was unavailable from
any other reliable governmental source.
In the first pilar named Policy, all the indicators are binary variables which means that
the indicators can take only a value of 1 or 0. Value 1 was assigned to the states if the
policy has been implemented in the state, otherwise 0. If the particular policy has been
‘formulated’, ‘notified’ or is ‘in progress’ in the state but not implemented, 0 value was
given.
Indicator named ‘Power Cost’ in the sub-pillar Business Environment reflects the
industrial tariff cost per unit in the state. The data was requested from the respective
state government; however, due to the vast variability in the data received, fixed charges
of HT industrial cost was taken for all the states from their respective Government
Electricity board authority.
For Indicators like area covered under Export Promotion Industrial Parks , Export
Promotion Zones and Special Economic Zones (as percentage of State area excluding
forest cover) - only a few states provided the information of the area covered by them.
Zero value has been given to the states which have just provided the number.
15
26 districts are formed in AP w.e.f. 04.04.2022 in place of erstwhile 13 district. Now, the preparation of
District Level Export Action Plans is taken up which will be completed by August 2022.
16
Hence, the District Level Export Promotion Action Plans prepared for 13 districts may be considered. 99Export Preparedness Index 2022
Data Limitations
Data Transformation
While calculating the index scores, a few hindrances were faced because of the
paucity of data from Chandigarh, Dadar Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu, Ladakh and
Lakshadweep. EPI 2021 data was retained for these union territories. Moreover, as
GSDP figures are also not available for certain UTs , so UT average was taken for such
cases .
The calculation of the index scores entails gathering data for all 56 indicators from many
and diverse sources. The indicators are measured in several units of measurement, such
as binary, score, ratio, or percentage, making comparison challenging. Standardisation
renders the indicator without units by rescaling it with a mean of zero and a standard
deviation of 1.
Standardising the data makes data points comparable, which is essential for accurate
analysis, particularly when the scale of the indicator varies significantly. Skipping the
standardisation procedure can lead to inconsistent results. For instance, suppose
an indicator has less variance than other indicators but is measured on a larger
scale. In such a scenario, the data may disclose increased
variation, resulting in imprecise analysis. In addition,
negative indicators such as power costs have
been inverted to positive values. This was
done to standardise all of the indicators
so that a higher value indicates a higher
score for the states. Without it, the
state's reduced power costs would
result in a lower score, which is
a misinterpretation as it should
actually enhance the score. 100Export Preparedness Index 2022
Weightage
Aggregation
The scores of EPI 2021 and 2021 are not directly comparable. Since the assessment
criteria for Export Preparedness has been significantly revised, it is noted that comparisons
of states/UTs should be done with extra caution or completely avoided.
The 2022 framework retains the same weights for each pillar as the previous year's
framework. However, the weightage assigned to the individual indicators, as proposed
and adopted by the stakeholders, has been modified. Another difference is that one
sub-pillar - Access to Finance has been merged with the other sub-pillars of the business
environment post consultation with stakeholders. According to the significance of the
indicators within each sub-pillar, as determined in the first iteration, weights have been
assigned to the existing framework.
Detailed information is provided in Table in Appendix.
The following steps have been adopted for the calculation:
Standardizing each indicator [ Standardized X = (X-mean)/ Standard Deviation]
After standardizing, each indicator is multiplied by its weight.
Sum up all the values obtained in step 2 for all the indicators under each sub-pillar
for each state.

Country-Level Analysis5.1
In the index, the country has an overall
score of 46.56 which implies a disparity
in the export-preparedness across
the country which averages out to a
moderate level. When broken down
across sub-pillars, the areas with the
most progress and the ones which
require the most improvement emerge.
At the outset, the country, as a whole,
has made significant progress in terms
of establishing an institutionalized policy
ecosystem which enables exports in the
country.
Institutionally, a score of 76.40 implies
the creation of institutions which are
capable of implementing these policies
and hence, boosting exports in states’
and, by extension, the country.
73.02
A score of
in the sub-pillar ‘Export Promotion
Policy’ indicates a strong policy
framework laced with district-level and
sector-specific export policies across
many states in the country.

of these two sub-

corroborates the presence of
a robust policy ecosystem.
Although the country has a decent business environment, it requires urgent attention towards infrastructure and transport connectivity. States need to have a cluster-oriented approach to their industries. Connected industries which support each other in terms of resources and markets help increase competitiveness in the region which in turn boosts productivity and prosperity. Infrastructural measures to improve cluster strength in states need to be devised in a context-specific manner. Also, without adequate transport connectivity, the capability of exporting from remote areas of the country gets diminished. Furthermore, the lack of air cargo terminals in a state makes them dependent on road connectivity to ports which get affected by seasonal changes. This hampers the potential of these regions to develop their economies by
leveraging their regional advantages. Thus, significant investment in building transport and storage facilities in these states is necessary.
A strong export infrastructure reflects
the sound implementation of the policies
devised by the states to facilitate exports.
However, trade support remains to be
improved. States need to leverage the
centre-led schemes which help boost
exports in a country, such as TIES. Also,
organizing trade fairs and exhibitions
for exporters helps them in showcasing
their products and gain exposure to
their competition which helps them 106Export Preparedness Index 2022
understand the market. Later for the
exporters who lag behind, capacity
building workshops can help them bridge
this gap. Measures like these can improve
the trade volume from the country and
help India perform better in exports. In
addition to that, establishing oneself
in a global market requires a quality
and unique product. India, although
not lacking in diversity of products, can
benefit from research and development
into exports. Innovation breeds growth,
which in itself requires technological
advancement. To achieve that, there
needs to significant investment in
industrial research which can focus
on developing new manufacturing
techniques or improving the quality of our
products. India currently lags in Research,
investment into which can increase the
productivity of our industry and volume
of our trade manifold, and thus its vitality
cannot be overstated.
Despite India’s decent performance
across the input pillars, the last output-
based pillar of Export Performance paints
a picture of untapped potential. Although
many states have fared well in the
country with eight states exporting over
US$ 15 billion worth of merchandise,
there remain fifteen states with exports
less than US$ 1 billion. Eleven of these
states are yet to cross the US$ 100
million mark. Efforts need to be made
to dissipate this disparity across the
country as consistent growth across all
regions can help India grow in a holistic
manner.
In addition to that, in India, there is a
recurring issue of the lack of data on
‘State of Origin’ of an exported product.
To recognize states based on their
share in national exports, accurate data
which reflects their actual contribution
is necessary. However, in the absence
of a state of origin marker on goods,
often a product is exported under the
state where it was procured and not
produced. This mistakenly credits
a different state, other than the
product’s origin state, as its
manufacturer and hence,
leads to inaccuracy in the
assessment of states’ 107Export Preparedness Index 2022

contributions. The government, therefore,
should construct a mechanism which
mandates the exporters to declare the
state of origin of a product. Along with
that, an accompanying mechanism to
verify that information also needs to
be put in place. Since this is an urgent
yet complex issue, the solution devised
by the government needs to be robust,
holistic, and produced in a timely manner.
Lastly, the country needs a diverse export
basket with multiple destinations across
the world as it will make India resilient
to global fluctuations in exports. Better
understanding of global markets and
orienting our manufacturers to cater those
needs is the first step in achieving this.
At a country level, although India has
come a long way, the areas which require
improvement are crucial to our future
growth and thus, need to be looked upon.
The next section of this chapter lists out
the rankings of the state at three levels –
Overall, region-wise, and at a pillar level.

Pillar 1: Policy5.3.1
CategoryScore
Coastal94.72
Himalayan57.68
Landlocked90.56
UT/Small States56.34
National Average74.71
The Policy pillar is divided into two sub-
pillars – Export Promotion Policy and
Institutional Framework, which in turn
are constituted by thirteen indicators. On
average, Indian states have performed
exceptionally well in the first pillar and
registered a national score of 74.71.
This reflects positively on the state
governments’ effort in creating an
enabling environment using policy tools
such as incentives, and institutional
mechanisms to nurture exports. In the
long term, a sound policy framework
can help states create a global footprint
in terms of exports, as it improves local
markets, aids diversification of their
export baskets, and facilitates overall
competitiveness of the region.
On a deeper inquiry into this high
national average, it is observed that
various regions have performed in a
differentiated manner. States from the
Coastal region of the country have
scored, on average, an impressive 94.72
in the first pillar. Among these states,
Karnataka scored a perfect 100, followed
closely by Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh,
and Odisha at 99.52. Lowest among
the coastal states is West Bengal which
scored 79.53 yet performed above the
national average.
Following the coastal region, landlocked
states of India have registered an
average of 90.56. Contributing to this
average are the high-performing states
of Haryana, with a score of 99.52,
Madhya Pradesh, scoring 98.68, and
Bihar which scored 96.15. Lowest among
the landlocked states was Chhattisgarh
which secured an 81.39 in the first pillar.
Collectively, this reflects that coastal, and
landlocked states of the country have
comprehensively established an export-
supporting policy framework within their
states, and thus have taken a major step
in developing trade from their states.
On the other side of the spectrum are
the Himalayan states, and Small States/
Union Territories of the country. States
under the Himalayan category scored
57.68 on an average, followed by Small
States/UTs with an average score of
56.34. Among the Himalayan states,
only two out of nine states, namely 117Export Preparedness Index 2022
Uttarakhand (99.52) and Himachal
Pradesh (88.10), stand above the national
average in the policy pillar. Sikkim hovers
around the national average with a score
of 72.67. Other states from the North-
eastern region of India do not perform as
well with Mizoram and Arunachal scoring
13.39 and 23.65 respectively, implying
that these states do not have export-
supporting policy measures in place.
Good performance by northern Himalayan
states, compared to north-eastern
Himalayans might indicate a geographical
edge enjoyed by the former.
Small States/UTs have three regions (out
of nine) at a solid 99.52 in the policy pillar.
These are Goa, Jammu and Kashmir,
and Ladakh, indicating a sound policy
environment. However, other regions like
Delhi and Andaman and Nicobar Islands
scored 67.28 and 65.09 respectively.
Scores around the national average
indicate the promise of adoption of policy
measures, however scores of 46.94 and
29.23, which are attained by Puducherry
and Chandigarh call for more efforts by
the ones in power.
At a national level, sixteen states have
scored above 90, across various regions,
in the first pillar indicating a nation-wide
adoption of export conducive policy
measures. This is further corroborated
by the fact that only eight states have
scored below 50, most of which are
either Small States/UTs or belong to the
north-eastern region of the country.
Thus, this assessment highlights the need
for concerted efforts towards the regions
lagging behind the country, as their
regional competitiveness remains to be
unlocked. To delve deeper into the policy
pillar, the following sections will analyze
the performance of Indian states under
the two sub-pillars. 118Export Preparedness Index 2022
SUB-PILLAR 1: EXPORT PROMOTION POLICY
Category Score
Coastal 96.36
Himalayan 59.18
Landlocked 85.58
UT/Small States 52.16
National Average 73.02
Export Promotion
0.0 100.0
The first sub-pillar evaluates the states’
performance in implementing policies
responsible for facilitating exports and
enabling their growth. Since the Indian
economy has a large number of MSMEs,
government support for manufacturers to
collaborate with exporters is necessary
for them to enter the global markets.
Moreover, in a diverse country such as
India, regions hold a potential which can
only be leveraged with concerted efforts
by the regional economies. Thus, a state
which performs well on these indicators
can be said to have enabled a conducive
policy environment which nurtures export
growth. Although constructing a policy
framework does not guarantee export
performance, as it requires a more
holistic approach, it is still a crucial first
step towards that goal. 119Export Preparedness Index 2022
At the national level, Indian states have
averaged 73.02, reflecting a sound level
of adoption of export-promoting policies
and measures. Among the coastal states,
five out of eight scored a perfect 100,
with Kerala and Tamil Nadu at 99.16
and 95.39 respectively. This implies that
all coastal states have a valid export
promotion policy, along with a sector-
specific policy framework which plays
to their regional advantages. Along
with that, they have identified thrust
sectors within their states for exports,
for example Karnataka has identified
the demand of alternate energy globally,
and plans to transform itself as a hub for
meeting those demands.
With the exception of Kerala, all coastal
states have a public information portal
for global quality standards to aid
manufacturers. Other than this, all
these states have organized workshops
for educating people about quality
standards, aiding in market penetration,
and facilitating these measures through
constant incentives and awards. West
Bengal scores the least score of 76.29,
as only 32 percent of its districts have a
district export action plan.
Following suit, landlocked states of the
country have an average score of 85.58
in this sub-pillar, indicating a decent
level of policy adoption. All landlocked
states boast an export promotion policy,
as well as sector-specific strategies to
boost exports. Along with this, all these
states have a public forum for quality
standards, organize workshops, and aid
marketing to support manufacturers
in their respective states. Except
for 1 district from Telangana, and 3
districts from Rajasthan, all districts
in these states are covered under the
government’s ‘One District One Product’
scheme. Identification of a unique
regional product which can be invested
in to push it towards global markets is a
welcome step to diversify India’s exports,
as well as support the economy at a local
level. 120Export Preparedness Index 2022
However, among these states, except
Haryana, no state has all districts with
an export action plan. The situation is
poor for Assam where 37 percent of
districts have drafted a plan, followed by
Jharkhand at 25 percent of its districts
having formulated a strategy to push
exports at a district level. Telangana
is the negative outlier with no district
having an export action plan. Although,
landlocked states fare well, the lack of a
documented plan can be detrimental to
the government’s other efforts to grow
exports. Enactment of a plan helps the
stakeholders to act efficiently toward
their goals, and thus the states without
it should take measures to change the
situation.
Among the Himalayan states, Arunachal
Pradesh, Manipur, Mizoram, and Tripura
have no sector-specific policy measures,
a method to publicly disseminate
information on quality standards, or
facilitation of export promotion measures
by awards or incentives. Arunachal
Pradesh in particular has not identified
thrust sectors for exports and does
not provide any marketing support
to manufacturers. Poor performance
by these Himalayan states in multiple
indicators brings down their average
to 59.18. In the same category, states
like Uttarakhand, Sikkim, Manipur, and
Himachal Pradesh have almost all policy
measures in place and are performing
exceptionally well, with Uttarakhand
scoring a perfect 100. Despite being
resource rich, ineffective governance
hampers the potential withheld by these
states. In absence of a plan or strategy
and support initiatives, the dream of
export-led growth of these regions will
remain unfulfilled.
UT/Small States performed even worse
than Himalayan states and scored
a national average of 52.16. Best
performing regions in this category are
Jammu and Kashmir, and Goa which
have scored 100, indicating a robust
policy environment. Following them are
Andaman and Nicobar Islands which
only lag behind in providing marketing
support and undertaking measures to
incentivize exporters. Overall, All of their
districts are covered under One District
One Product Scheme and have enacted
a district export action plan, except
Puducherry which does not have an
action plan for two of its four districts.
Chandigarh, Dadra and Nagar Haveli,
and Lakshadweep have neither an
export promotion policy nor any sector-
specific measures. These regions have
not identified any thrust sectors, or hold
any workshops for quality standards,
and neither do they aid manufacturers
in marketing nor incentivize their
performance. These states have scored
zero in this sub-pillar. Delhi has not
identified any sector-specific measures
or organizes any quality standards
related workshops. Redressal of these
shortcomings by these states can
help the comet at par with the better
performing states. 121Export Preparedness Index 2022
SUB-PILLAR 2: INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK

Himalayan 56.18
Landlocked 95.54
UT/Small States 60.52
National Average 76.40
Institutional Framework
0.0 100.0
A sound policy environment cannot
induce growth without a robust
institutional framework. Institutionalizing
exports in a state helps reduce
uncertainty surrounding policy
framework, as it facilitates access to the
services owed to the manufacturers and
exporters. The thrust to make districts as
export hubs by the central government
will remain impotent without a strong
institutional structure at the state level.
Contributing to the national average of
76.40 in this sub-pillar, is the exceptional
performance of twenty states which
scored above 90 implying the adoption
of a strong institutional mechanism.
Karnataka scored the highest among
all states with a perfect hundred. Other
than the coastal states, all landlocked
states, except Punjab, have an excellent
performance in this sub-pillar. Along with
them, UT/Small states of Goa, Jammu 122Export Preparedness Index 2022
and Kashmir, Ladakh, and the Himalayan
state of Uttarakhand have scored
99.03. These states have, therefore,
complemented their policy framework
with a robust institutional mechanism,
indicating a pro-active approach towards
exports. This is further corroborated by
the presence of district export promotion
councils in over ninety percent of districts
in twenty-five states. A dedicated District
Export Promotion Committee helps in
efficiently planning and implementing
strategies across a state, or a district
such as identifying the export profile, and
setting quantifiable targets to improve
export performance. As discussed
above, a strong institution can aid the
implementation of a policy framework
and accelerate the export growth in a
region,
On the other hand, Mizoram, Dadra and
Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu, and
Lakshadweep have scored zero in this
sub-pillar. Among the coastal states,
Kerala has scored the lowest as it does
not have a Centre-State co-ordination
cell. Lack of a forum for various levels of
government for planning slows down the
process of innovation in strategies.
Among the Himalayan states, Arunachal
Pradesh and Sikkim also lack a co-
ordination cell. In terms of grievance
redressal of exporters, Arunachal
Pradesh along with north-eastern states
of Manipur, Mizoram, Meghalaya, and
Nagaland lack an institutionalized
mechanism. This creates issues for
the manufacturers in these states, as
no forum exists where their issues are
acknowledged and worked upon. Inability
to create an institutional framework
which facilitates exports is detrimental
to growth. However, since most of the
states in the country have constituted
institutions such as a District Export
Promotion Council, a Centre-state co-
ordination cell, and a grievance redressal
mechanism, it remains to be explored as
to what specific issues these particular
states facing. 123Export Preparedness Index 2022

Achieving high exports requires a strong
foundation of business in the state which
can be achieved by creating an ecosystem
which invites investments, nurtures
businesses, encourage innovation, and
creates opportunities in the state. To
assess the capacity of the states to
facilitate businesses, the second pillar
evaluates the business ecosystem along
three sub-pillars – Business Environment,
Infrastructure, and Transport Connectivity.
Comprising of these three sub-pillars, the
second pillar presents a comprehensive
assessment of the state in terms of its
ability to attract and sustain businesses,
which can later be leveraged to increase
exports from the region. High level of
industrial presence in a state indicates
a healthy ecosystem, which can help in
increasing the volume of exports, as well
as diversification of export basket. This
helps the local economy and aids growth
of the region leading to prosperity.
Overall, Indian states scored an average
of 43.40 in the second pillar indicating an
averagely healthy business ecosystem.
This implies that there exist areas in the
business ecosystem which require the
attention of the state governments and
are in a need of betterment. Highest
scoring states in the country are
Karnataka and Tamil Nadu which scored
89.52 and 88.84 in this pillar. They are
followed by Maharashtra which scored
79.31, registering a ten-point decrease
from the top two states. Continuing the
trend, the next best-performing states in
this pillar are Delhi with 65.40, a fourteen-
point decrease, Haryana with 61.70, and
Punjab and Telangana with 59.73 and
58.32 respectively. This steep fall among
the top seven states of the country
indicates a disparity in the business
ecosystem across these states as well as,
the existing cleavages in state capacities
to invite and foster business in the post-
pandemic economy. Twenty-seven states
in the country scored below 50 in this
pillar, and thus the low national average.
Regional analysis indicates that coastal
states perform the best with an average
of 61.44, followed by landlocked states
with 44.12, which is above the national
average. Conversely, Small states/UTs and
Himalayan states are below the national
benchmark with averages of 36.94 and
33.05 respectively. Although there seems
to be a disparity created by regions, a
closer inspection of the rankings shows
that among the top ten states there are
four coastal states, three landlocked
states, two UTs/Small states, and one
Himalayan state. This is a relatively
even distribution as far as regions
are concerned, implying the cause of
disparity to be deeper-rooted. To delve
into it further, we undertake the analysis
at a sub-pillar level. 124Export Preparedness Index 2022

Business Environment
0.0 100.0
A composition of six indicators, this
sub-pillar evaluates the conduciveness
of a state’s environment for inviting and
growing businesses. For a comprehensive
assessment, the indicators range from
ease of doing business, availability of
single window clearance and investments
into state, credit facilities, to the change
in a state’s economy.
Overall, the states scored an average
of 51.17 in this sub-pillar, indicating a
moderate business environment across
the country. Regionally, the coastal states
stood at 61.82, followed by landlocked
states at 59.17, Himalayan states at
47.85, and UT/Small states at 36.14.
Therefore, with the exception of a few
coastal states, all other states have
performed averagely in this sub-pillar.
Karnataka has secured a score of 100
in this sub-pillar indicating a robust 125Export Preparedness Index 2022
business environment in the state.
Concerted efforts by the government to
raise investment into varying industries,
provide incentives and facilitate setting
up of new industries has led to this
achievement by Karnataka. Following it
is another coastal state of Tamil Nadu at
88.09, trailed by Punjab at 86.98, Odisha
at 74.54 and Telangana at 70.37.
The presence of landlocked states of
Punjab and Telangana in the top five
implies a lack of regional influence on
business environment. Punjab provides
power at a cost of 285, which is lower
than the national average of 319, has
single-window clearance, registered a
positive increment in state’s Gross Value
Added over the previous year, and has
a healthy rate of export credit. All of
these factors have contributed to its
performance in this sub-pillar.
Among all the states, only Puducherry
and Mizoram lack a single-window
clearance. Twenty-six states in the
country have registered a decrease in
the Gross Value Added by manufacturing
in the state. This can be due to the
pandemic which negatively affected
the manufacturing sector. On the other
hand, Odisha and Assam have added the
highest value from manufacturing. After
Karnataka (US$ 14401 Million), Delhi has
shown the highest increase in Foreign
Direct Investment with over US$ 2700
Million, followed by Haryana (US$ 1101
Million). For Haryana, it can be due to the
presence of SEZs in Gurugram, and its
ability to attract industry from abroad.
Coastal states of Maharashtra and
Gujarat have registered the least
value addition by manufacturing
sector, a decrease of over the previous
year, however their absolute GVA by
manufacturing remains the highest in the
country. Although their manufacturing
sectors did not perform up to their
previous performance, the state can
take measures to identify its cause and
address it timely. Gujarat, in addition to
this, also recorded a decrease of over
US$ 19000 Million in Foreign Direct
Investment which can hamper the state’s
path to development.
Overall, the Worst-performing UTs in
this sub-pillar are Puducherry, Dadra
and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu,
and Ladakh with scores of of 0,2.51, and
12.08 respectively. Therefore, improving
the manufacturing sector, creating
incentives to invite FDI and providing
opportunities for exporters such as
credit are the areas in which states need
to work to create a robust business
environment. 126Export Preparedness Index 2022

Industries in a state can thrive only
with a robust infrastructure to support
them. The ability of a state to sustain
its existing industrial presence, as well
as to attract new ventures is contingent
upon the infrastructure it provides. For
example, with increased digitalization,
a state without stable internet can miss

Investment in infrastructure is often a
state undertaking and sets the better-
performing states apart from the rest.
To this end, this sub-pillar evaluates a
state’s infrastructure in terms of Power
availability, Internet facilities, cluster
strength, and industrial presence.
At a national level, the states have scored
an average of 46.93 in this sub-pillar,
indicating average infrastructure across
the country. Regionally, coastal states
have scored 63.88, followed by UT/Small
states with 58.77, Himalayan states with 127Export Preparedness Index 2022
35.21, and landlocked states with 33.35.
The highlight of this sub-pillar is the
performance of small states/UTs which is
buoyed by Delhi, Goa, and Chandigarh.
Delhi has scored a perfect 100 in
this sub-pillar owing as it had zero
power deficit, high number of internet
subscribers (206418 per lakh of
population), almost double of the
national average (109542 per lakh of
the population), and a strong cluster
strength of 93.
Clusters refer to a local group of
companies which are linked by sharing
resources such as supply-chain, raw
material, and technology such as
specialized input, labor, and contribute
to regional competitiveness. High
strength of clusters implies concentration
of related industries with meaningful
linkage, offering significant employment
opportunities in the region. Strong
clusters can be leveraged by the states to
boost its exports. Indian states, however,
have an average cluster strength of
39.25 indicating weak linkages among
local industries. Following Delhi,
Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu have
a high cluster strength of 80 and 79.
On the other hand, Himalayan states
of Tripura, Meghalaya, and Himachal
Pradesh have the lowest cluster strength
at 10, 9, and 8 respectively. The absence
of strong clusters in these states impedes
a region’s competitiveness as it implies low
presence of meaningful linkages between
industries which can compete and boost
regional prosperity. For businesses to grow
in states, high competitiveness is important
as it develops robust industries which
invest in innovation and leverage local
opportunities.
Karnataka follows Delhi at second place
in this sub-pillar with a score of 96.85. It
is due to the state fostering the highest
industrial presence, which is facilitated by
its adequate power and internet facilities.
Small States/UTs despite performing high,
recorded poor industrial presence with
Ladakh, Chandigarh, Lakshadweep, and
Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and
Diu having zero IT/Pharma/Food Parks. The
national average for the same is 61.52.
With a spectrum covering Karnataka with
647 IT/Pharma/Food Parks to these small
states/UTs, there exists a disparity in terms
of industrial presence.
Despite having decent infrastructural
facilities, states investing more in setting
up industries, such as creating of SEZs,
providing incentives, in-turn attract more
industries, leading to a chain-effect. Thus,
this can be used as a roadmap for states
which are lagging behind the national
level. Notably, the state of Uttar Pradesh
has scored a zero in this sub-pillar. 128Export Preparedness Index 2022
SUB-PILLAR 3: TRANSPORT CONNECTIVITY

National Average 32.10
Transport Connectivity
0.0 100.0
For businesses to be able to export,
access to reliable modes of transport
is necessary. For smooth execution
of operations, a solid supply-chain is
required which implies healthy regional
connectivity in the country. Supply-chain
bottlenecks or connectivity issues can
severely impact trade, as it disrupts
market operations, can cause temporary
inflation, and lead to an overall negative
impact on the economy. Therefore, to
evaluate a state’s connectivity, this sub-
pillar evaluates the number of Air cargo
terminals, logistics parks, inland container
depots, and storage facilities present in
the state in the shape of cold storage and
warehouses.
The national average for this sub-
pillar stood at 32.10, indicating low
average connectivity across the
country. Regionally, Coastal states
performed the best with 58.63, whereas
landlocked states stood second with
39.86. Himalayan and UT/Small states 129Export Preparedness Index 2022
performed the worst with 16.09 and
15.91, respectively. For Himalayan states,
poor connectivity can be a geographical
disadvantage since transport facilities to
mountainous regions are limited.
Performance of coastal states has
been exceptional in this sub-pillar with
Maharashtra scoring a perfect 100,
followed by Tamil Nadu with 96.46. Uttar
Pradesh has been a positive surprise
in this sub-pillar as it stands at third
with a score of 81.95. All these states
have trade warehousing zones, with
Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu having
73 and 58, respectively. Uttar Pradesh
has the highest number of cold-storage
facilities among the three with 1947,
with a cumulative capacity of over 16
million metric tons. High connectivity
and storage aid a manufacturers’ and
exporters’ ability to produce and ship
more in the hopes of more exports. Thus,
along with increasing manufacturing
capacity in states, it is important to
match it with storage capacity.
Among the poor-performing Himalayan
states, Uttarakhand, and Manipur
perform above the national average,
while Himachal Pradesh has a score
slightly lower than the national
average. These three states have air
cargo terminals, cold storage facilities,
and warehouses whereas the other
Himalayan states either don’t have these
facilities or the number is low. For example,
Sikkim scored a zero in this sub-pillar.
Among the small states/UTs the situation
is similar with only Goa and Jammu and
Kashmir having more than one air cargo
terminal, whereas Ladakh, Chandigarh,
Lakshadweep, and Puducherry have
zero. Delhi has the most cold-storage
facilities but has no warehouse for export
purposes. Andaman, on the other hand,
has the highest number of warehouses
for export purposes among the small
states. This might be due to the remote
nature of islands, and the inland nature
of Delhi, which does not have a need for
warehouse, as it has better access to trade
routes. Score-wise, Delhi (31.56) scored the
highest and Lakshadweep, and Dadra and
Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu scored
zero.
Transport connectivity and storage are
essential for any state to carry on its
trade. Without robust facilities businesses
will not sustain in states. Hence, it is vital
for states with a low level of facilities to
improve their connectivity to exporting
hubs, as well as other regions of the
country. Investment in infrastructure and
transport is the government’s undertaking
and therefore, for a state envisioning
development, the need to uplift its facilities
should be a priority. 130
Investor summits play a vital role in driving domestic investment by
fostering an environment conducive to investment, facilitating networking
opportunities, and showcasing the potential of local markets.
At a state level, Domestic investments hold great significance for the
development and growth of states. Firstly, they contribute to economic
growth by contributing to local economic activity and generating
employment opportunities. When businesses and individuals invest in
local industries, it leads to increased production, improved productivity,
and expansion of businesses, resulting in higher incomes and improved
standards of living for residents. Secondly, domestic investments
play a crucial role in developing infrastructure within states. This
infrastructure development enhances connectivity, facilitates trade and
commerce, attracts further investments, and supports overall economic
development. Additionally, domestic investments foster innovation
and entrepreneurship. They create an environment conducive to the
development of new industries, technologies, and business models. By
investing in research and development, domestic investors can drive
innovation, leading to the creation of high-value products and services,
increased competitiveness, and the attraction of foreign investment.
To gauge the states on their ability to raise domestic investment in the
index, the states were asked to submit the number of investor summits
held and their details for two successive iterations.
Box 3: The State’s Path to Success: The
Importance of Investment Driving at
Investor Summits
Due to certain discrepancies in request comprehension
or a lack of data, the majority of the submitted proof was
insufficient.
Three of the remaining nine states provided accurate
information with supporting evidence.
27 of the 36 states either did not
provide any pertinent data or provided
values that were inaccurate. 131Export Preparedness Index 2022
Uttrakhand and Tamil Nadu, provided data for MSMEs, which was not
within the scope of the indicator. Only three states – Maharashtra, Madhya
Pradesh, and Andhra Pradesh provided detailed evidence of investor
summit, and the commitment of the investors along with their choice of
industry and investment value. For example, Andhra Pradesh listed out total
committed domestic investment of over 23000 crores across industries like
Agro and Food, Chemical Industries, Engineering industry etc. Similarly,
Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra provided detailed evidence of individual
commitment of investment in the state.
The availability of such data is crucial for understanding a state’s
investment landscape and its capacity to support and nurture the
development of its industries. With robust domestic investment, the states
can reduce the reliance on foreign investments to drive economic growth
and become self-reliant. Local people understand the domestic context and
thus can be relied on to invest in industries important to the local economy.
Without data the assessment of business environment becomes difficult.
Thus, as a crucial first step, there needs to be concerted effort by the state
government to collect data on domestic investments as well as organize
investor summits to drive domestic investment. 132Export Preparedness Index 2022

Exports are the drivers of a country’s
economy as they facilitate the influx of
foreign currency in a country, which can be
leveraged by the local economy to boost
its development. Export-led development
leads to a regionally competitive country
which nurtures innovation and expertise.
For exports to flourish, state needs
to bridge the gap existing between
manufacturers and global markets by
incentivizing and supporting them.
Local manufacturers often require support
in terms of marketing and quality of their
product. Helping them by disseminating
knowledge about markets, as well as
quality standards (as set by WTO), helps
them mould their product to cater to these
markets. Therefore, after the analysis
of Indian states’ Policy and Business
ecosystem as to whether or not it is
supportive of exports, the next step is to
evaluate a state’s export ecosystem.
This is done across three sub-pillars. First
sub-pillar, Export Infrastructure, records a
state’s number of exporting districts, SEZs
and Agri-export zones in the state, and its
mechanism of knowledge dissemination
to exporters. Second sub-pillar, Trade
Support, analyses a state’s adoption of
Trade Infrastructure for Export Schemes,
data-collection mechanism vis-à-vis
exporters, and undertaking of export-
promoting initiatives like organizing trade
fairs or exhibitions or capacity building
workshops. The third sub-pillar, R&D
Infrastructure, evaluates a state’s role in
nurturing innovation. To penetrate global
markets, quality and innovation are crucial
in a product, and thus identification of
products which fit this bill and supporting
their manufacturer is a crucial role played
by the government.
Enabling an export-friendly environment
which increases the export volume
helps a state in creating meaningful
employment opportunities, develop local
economy, and aid social development.
At the national level, under this pillar,
the Indian states scored an average of
41.55, indicating a below average export
ecosystem. Although states have adopted
policy measures required to boost exports,
the implementation of these measures to
nurture an export-conducive ecosystem
seems to be lacking. The importance of
such an ecosystem cannot be overstated,
and with the central government’s thrust
towards decentralizing exports to state
and district levels, the need for such an
ecosystem is paramount.
Among the states, coastal states of
Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka
secured the top three spots in this pillar
with scores of 76.09, 73.68, and 70.89,
respectively. It is no coincidence that 133Export Preparedness Index 2022
these states have also performed
well in the previous two pillars, as the
ideal coming together of an export-
promotion policy and a healthy business
ecosystem leads to a conducive export
ecosystem. These states, therefore,
have implemented their policies in line
with their business strengths, and are
thus on the path to becoming export
powerhouses in the country. Following
these states, the next twelve states,
including Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh,
Uttarakhand, Gujarat, Odisha, West
Bengal, Punjab among others, performed
similarly as they fall within a ten-point
range from 60 to 50 under this pillar. This
implies that despite a healthy policy
adoption, there are areas in which these
states are struggling. Therefore, for
all states to become exporting hubs,
they need to take a proactive approach
which entails identifying bottlenecks and
addressing them in a timely manner.
Lowest scoring states in this pillar
include Puducherry (21.49), Dadra Nagar
and Haveli & Daman and Diu (18.48),
Lakshadweep (15.38), Mizoram (12.09),
Arunachal Pradesh (10.52), and
Ladakh (6.56). Except two states,
which are Himalayan, all of
these are small states/UTs.
Furthermore, these states
have performed poorly
across the previous
pillars reiterating the
fact that not adopting export promotion
policies, identifying thrust sectors, or not
creating a business ecosystem will lead
to poor export ecosystem which leaves
these states deprived of unlocking their
potential.
This performance can become a wake-
up call for these states as they can learn
from their counterparts and undertake
measures which can bring them at
par with the country. Breaking it down
regionally, Coastal states have an average
score of 59.49, followed by landlocked
states with 45.97, Himalayan states
with 35.44, and lastly the small states/
UTs with 26.81. To delve deeper into this
pillar, the following sections analyse the
performance states along the three sub-
pillars. 134Export Preparedness Index 2022

National Average 67.47
Export Infrastructure
0.0 100.0
To foster export growth in a state, there
needs to exist an infrastructure supported
by the government which takes care
of all the needs of the exporters. This
infrastructure includes knowledge
transfer portals, Special Economic Zones,
dedicated export zones, and accessible
trade guides, which record and publish
information pertaining to all products
available in the state, and the strategies
required to push them to the global
markets. Across five indicators, this
sub-pillar aims to evaluate the existing
infrastructure within a state.
At a national level, the states have
averaged 67.47, indicating the existence
of a good export infrastructure across
the country. Regionally, the coastal
regions have driven this average with a
score of 91.49, followed by landlocked
states with a score of 82.91. Himalayan
and UT/Small states have performed
identically, with scores of 48.10 and 48.32
respectively. 135Export Preparedness Index 2022
This indicates a regional disparity in
terms of export infrastructure across
the country with smaller, and hilly
regions of the country requiring urgent
interventions to bring them at par with
the country. The disparity can be due to
the remoteness of the areas, or a lack of
prioritization to exports across many of
these states.
Maharashtra has come out as a state
with the most robust export infrastructure
as it scored a perfect 100. It is followed
by Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and West
Bengal with scores of 99.70, 98.77, and
94.88 respectively. All these states have
knowledge dissemination portals, Trade
Guides, Agri-export zones, and have most
of their districts exporting at least one
product. This holistic approach to exports
puts them in the pole-position to become
export powerhouses in the country.
Among the high performing coastal
states, only three districts from Odisha,
six districts from Tamil Nadu, and two
districts from West Bengal do not export.
This is a clear indication of concerted
effort by the state governments to
effectively decentralize exports to a
district-level and push them as export
hubs. Notably, among these states,
Kerala does not have a trade guide,
or has any area covered under Special
Economic Zones or export zones. This has
led it to score the lowest in its category
with 78.26.
Andhra Pradesh and Gujarat,have
429 km2 and 2906 km2 of their area,
respectively, covered under either Export
Promotion Zones, or Special Economic
Zones. This enables them to create more
opportunities for exports, as exporters
are incentivized leading to more
manufacturers being driven towards
exporting their products. The culmination
of policy tools, institutional mechanisms,
and a robust infrastructure, hence,
enables export in any region.
Among the landlocked states, Madhya
Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh have scored
the highest under this sub-pillar with a
score of 92.83 and 91.71 respectively.
With the majority of their districts
exporting, all states having policy
measures in place, and having area
under dedicated export promotion zones,
these states are on the right path.
Among the Himalayan states, with
the exception of Himachal Pradesh,
Uttarakhand, and Manipur, which are
doing really well, no other state has a
robust export infrastructure in place.
This is worrisome since these areas
are resource-rich and their export
potential is exceedingly high. By creating
export promotion zones, or enabling
their districts to export, their export
performance can be improved and hence,
steps need to be taken in this direction.
Small states/UTs, on the other hand,
have no area under dedicated export
zones, and except Jammu and Kashmir,
no other region has either a trade guide
or an Agri-export zone. Although most
of their districts are exporting, the small
states/UTs need to cover ground in
terms of creating an institutionalized
infrastructure to facilitate export, since
without it, sustaining high level of export
becomes difficult. 136Export Preparedness Index 2022

Trade support
Enabling export infrastructure is not
sufficient to improve export performance,
as it requires support from the
manufacturers in the region. The support
can be in the shape of a trade exhibition,
capacity building workshop, or utilising
trade promotion schemes to help the
manufacturers. Creating a database of
exporters helps a state in recording and
analysing its export profile. This can
also facilitate a state in identifying niche
products which require more assistance
at first, but can contribute to a region’s
competitive advantage over the years.
In order to assess the states on the
aforementioned parameters, this sub-
pillar uses five relevant indicators.
At the national level, states have an
average of 31.11, indicating a poor trade
support structure across the country.
Regionally, coastal regions perform well
with an average of 56.95, followed by
landlocked states with 34.95, Himalayan
states with 24.72, and UT/Small states
with 10.25 under this sub-pillar.
0.0 100.0 137Export Preparedness Index 2022
The performance of small states/UTs
in this sub-pillar is exceptionally poor,
reasons for which can be a lack of
trade-oriented policy initiatives by the
governments since some of these regions,
Delhi, Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir, have
export-oriented policy measures and
infrastructure in place.
Himalayan regions, as well, perform
poorly, however due to the poor
performance of north-eastern states in
previous two pillars, the interconnection
between these measures becomes
clearer. In other words, lack of
a business ecosystem does not
encourage governments to create a
trade supportive environment. Hence,
first steps need to be taken to create
a business-friendly environment which
nurtures entrepreneurs and fosters
competitiveness.
Maharashtra is the outlier in this sub-
pillar with a perfect score, whereas the
next state, Tamil Nadu, has a score of
81.76, the highest dip among the first
two states, across any sub-pillar. This
indicates that trade-supportive initiatives
have not spread across the country like
policy measures, or business-friendly
measures.
This is reflected in the data at a national
level as 33 states in the country have not
applied under the Trade Infrastructure
for Export Scheme in 2021-22. TIES
is implemented by the Ministry of
Commerce, and is aimed to aid states
in creating export-friendly infrastructure.
For a project undertaken by the state,
which has significant export potential,
the implementing agencies can avail the
benefits of this scheme. This includes,
creating markets for international trade
such as Border Haats, quality testing
and certification labs, trade promotion
centres, constructing warehouses,
SEZs, ports or cargo terminals. Only
three states in the country, Tamil Nadu,
Telangana and Himachal Pradesh have
availed its benefits.
Sixteen states in the country do not
have an exporters database, although
two of them (Arunachal Pradesh and
Chandigarh), have reported it being
a work in progress. Ten states have
not held any trade fairs or exhibitions,
including Tamil Nadu, which has held
over 70 capacity building workshops.
Notably, Maharashtra has held the most
number of trade fairs/exhibitions (110 )
and capacity building workshops (642)
for its exporters. Twenty-one states in
the country have taken initiatives to
understand the issues of exporters,
which is a welcome step. These states
can become a roadmap for other
states which are lagging behind in
providing trade support to exporters and
manufacturers.
Twelve states in the country have scored
below 1 point in this sub-pillar with six
of them scoring zero. Although most of
them are either Himalayan or UT/City-
state, the landlocked states of Bihar and
Chhattisgarh have also scored zero. The
lack of trade-supportive infrastructure
is alarming as it hampers the growth of
exports in the long run.
Availing the benefits of existing schemes
such as TIES can be a first step to alter
this state. After which states can look
towards creating a database and holding
regular interaction with the exporters,
which can culminate in organizing trade
fairs/exhibitions or capacity-building
workshops, depending on the issues.
Indian states need to undertake these
measures if they wish to become a
dominant player in the global market. 138Export Preparedness Index 2022

Innovation is essential for creating
products suited for the global markets,
and continuous investment in Research
and Development is necessary to drive
innovation. Technological upgradation
is at the centre of governments’ agenda
to foster export growth. Since the
world is going digital, building digital
capacities in our country requires
significant investment in technology,
education, and research. This can be
undertaken by either the government or
the private sector, in partnership with the
government. The Government’s role in
the latter can be of a facilitator as it can
support these private research institutes.
To cover this aspect, this sub-pillar covers
the number of dedicated export-specific
research institutes in the state. Along
with it, National Accreditation Board
for Testing and Calibration Laboratories
(NABL), issues certificates to labs which
100.0 139Export Preparedness Index 2022
are responsible for quality-testing of
products and equipment. The sub-
pillar incorporates the presence of such
laboratories in the state. Higher number
of these labs, and R&D institutes create
an environment which fosters innovation.
Innovation of new products, which are
quality tested, can help the country
establish itself in the global market, and
drive national competitiveness.
Under this pillar, Nagaland is the
surprising outlier with a perfect score of
100. This can be due to the low number
of exporters from the state, thus driving
up its NABL-accredited lab/exporter
and certification agency/exporter ratio.
Similar effect is observed in the second
state of this sub-pillar, Manipur. It scored
61.96 as a whole, owing to its high
certification agency per exporter ratio.
Talking in absolute numbers, the state
of Maharashtra and Gujarat have the
highest number of NABL-accredited
Labs with 599 and 537 respectively.
Maharashtra also has the highest
number of NABCB certification inspection
agencies, with 55. The next highest is
in Delhi with 27 such agencies. In terms
of Research Institutes Karnataka and
Tamil Nadu, stand first and second with
759 and 751 institutes respectively.
In terms of institutes per lakh of
population, the standings remain
the same as the coastal states
boast a ratio of 1.21 and
1.04.
On the other hand, 12 states have less
than 10 institutes in their whole state.
Although most of them are small states/
UTs or Himalayan states, the coastal
state of Odisha is a negative outlier with
only one research institute reported in the
whole state. For a state that has focused
on exports in the past few years, the
lack of a dedicated research institute is
worrisome and requires urgent redressal.
Overall, the national average under this
sub-pillar is 26.08 which is abysmally
low. There is no outlier as states from
all regions perform equally poorly, with
Himalayan region leading at 33.49,
followed by coastal region at 30.04, UT/
Small States at 21.86, and Landlocked
states at 20.04 under this sub-pillar. The
abysmal condition of R&D in the country
calls for urgent reforms. The endogenous
relationship between exports and
innovation can only be facilitated by
considerable investment in the R&D
sector. 140Export Preparedness Index 2022

The only output-based pillar of the index,
Export Performance, evaluates the overall
performance of a state in exports.
Export performance is crucial for assessing
a state’s/UTs preparedness for exports,
evaluating input factors and outcomes
of policy intervention. It helps state
governments determine the effectiveness
of regional exports. Additionally, it captures
the dynamic nature of exports, allowing for
tracking and analysis of changes over time,
reflecting adaptability to market conditions,
policy reforms, and regional economic trends.
In the context of the index, this pillar is the
culmination of the previous three pillars. In
other words, the existence of a solid policy
framework, a robust business and ecosystem
export ecosystem implies a solid export
performance. To explore this assertion,
this evaluation is done across two sub-
pillars – Growth and Orientation, and Export
Diversification.
The first pillar covers six indicators which
explore a state’s export growth across three
years, contribution of its merchandise exports
to its state GDP, total number of GI products,
and increase in the number of exporters.
The second pillar uses two indicators;
export concentration, which evaluates the
diversification of a state’s export basket, and
market penetration index, which evaluates
the global footprint of a state’s exports.
Across these eight indicators, this pillar paints
a comprehensive picture of a state’s exports.
The national average across this pillar is
30.40. This low average can be due to the
disproportionate distribution of total exports
in the country, with top ten states, in terms of
percentage share, contributing to 85 percent
of total exports. Regionally, coastal states
performed leaps and bounds ahead of the
country with an average of 51.55. This average
is also buoyed by the perfect score of 100
of Gujarat, which also reflects it having the
highest share of 30 percent in the country’s total
exports. Landlocked countries performed close
to the national average with a score of 35.68.
This is followed by the low-scoring Himalayan
states and UTs/Small states with average scores
of 18.57 and 17.57 respectively. The low average
score of these regions is a reflection of many
states from these categories performing poorly
across the other three pillars as well.
The relationship between the first three pillars
with export performance can be corroborated by
the fact that the top states in these pillars have
all performed well in the previous pillars. Gujarat
takes the top spot, followed by Tamil Nadu
with a score of 63.34, and Maharashtra with
59.14. The surprisingly well-performing state
of Rajasthan finishes fourth with 51.55, and is
the top-performing landlocked state followed
closely by Uttar Pradesh and Haryana with
51.28, and 49.75 respectively.
On the other hand, the export performance of
Arunachal Pradesh (9.07), Nagaland (7.27),
Ladakh (6.78), Manipur (3.88), Meghalaya
(1.56), Andaman and Nicobar Islands (1.20) and
Lakshadweep (0), has been poor in the previous
year. To delve deeper into their performances,
the following sections undertake a sub-pillar
level analysis. 141Export Preparedness Index 2022

Growth of exports in a state reflects the
effort of a state government in creating
a conducive environment for the same.
Conversely, the lack of such growth
implores the governments to address
their problems and tackle them. In this
sub-pillar, which evaluates growth of
exports, the average score of in this sub-
pillar of the states is 35.85 which, when
broken down regionally, is topped by
coastal states with an average of 53.05.
Landlocked states followed with an
average score of 40.36, and Himalayan
states and Small states/UTs registered an

Gujarat stands at the top with a perfect

exports from Gujarat contribute to 35
percent to its Gross Domestic Product,
which is the highest percentage share
among all states. Furthermore, it
witnessed the highest increase in the

state can be understood.
In second place is the surprising
Himalayan state of Tripura, with a score
of 71.01. This can be due to the high
percentage of businesses, 95 percent, in
the state having an IEC, and the sudden
growth of export in the state post-
pandemic, with exports growing from
US$1.75 Million in 2019-20 to US$12.19
Million, becoming nearly 6 times in two
years. Exports however contribute only
0.22 percent to the state GDP of Tripura,
implying its non-significant role in the
state economy. However, this rise can be
an encouragement for better things to
come for Tripura.
Landlocked states of Uttar Pradesh and
Rajasthan have also performed well with
scores of 57.23 and 50.91 respectively,
and occupy top two spots in their
category. Both states have registered
a significant. increase in the number of
exporters with Uttar Pradesh gaining
2785, and Rajasthan gaining 2101
new exporters. This reflects a positive
environment in the states which supports
exports, and hence encourages new
exporters to join.
City-state of Goa recorded 32 percent
share of merchandise exports in its
GDP, while also increasing its exports
by US$ 300 million in 2021-22 from
pre-pandemic levels. Although, the IEC
proportion remains low, the positive
performance by the state can be taken
as a token of progress in terms of export.
Hence, it occupies the top position
among Small states/UTs with a score
of 49.08, and is 13th overall in this sub-
pillar. At the second spot among small
states/UTs are Dadra and Nagar and
Haveli & Daman and Diu with a score
of 39.12. Scoring above the national
average, it increased its export value
from US$ 3263 million in 2020-21 to over
US$ 4500 million in 2021-22. Along with
that, it showed a 58 percent increase
in its number of exporters, which now
stands at 1728. For a UT which has been
performing poorly on previous pillars,
this performance is a positive outlier.
The states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu
have the highest number of GI products
being exported with 42. High number of
GI products improve a state’s earnings
as these products are unique to a state,
and thus have no competition within
the country for exports. Moreover,
often these products are produced by
local artisans, traditional workers, and
farmers and thus their export provides a
major boost to the local economy. Other
states with high number of GI exports are
Uttar Pradesh (34), Maharashtra (30), and
Kerala (30).
Himalayan and Small states/UTs of
Lakshadweep (0), Meghalaya (1.77),
Andaman and Nicobar Islands (1.54), and
Manipur (7.32) are the lowest-performing
states in this sub-pillar. Exports do 143Export Preparedness Index 2022
not grow only by identifying products,
or encouraging exporters. Growing
exports is a complex process which
requires sustained effort. For example,
Lakshadweep, now has 241 exporters an
increase from only 7 in 2020-21. Despite
that, the state recorded a decrease in
export value. Poor policy adoption and
business ecosystem can be a reason.
Hence, these states have their task
cut-out for them as their resources, and
potential of development remains to be
unlocked, which can only be achieved
using concerted efforts of their respective
governments. 144Export Preparedness Index 2022

National Average 24.95
Export Diversification
0.0 100.0
Diversification of the export basket of
a state helps it increase stability, as it
becomes resilient to market shocks, and
increase channels of revenue. In order
to diversify exports, state governments
need to identify target areas which can
produce quality products within the
state, and formulate a strategy on how
to market them and take to the global
market. Penetration into global markets
should also be diverse, as fluctuations
in the economic state of the destination
country might affect the economy of the
exporting state. Additionally, the foothold
in the market should be strong, as diverse
as the destinations might be. In order to
evaluate these, this sub-pillar uses export
concentration and market penetration
index.
Export concentration evaluates the extent
of a region’s exports being dependent
on a single or few products. A high score 145Export Preparedness Index 2022
indicates high concentration and implies
the vulnerability of a region to global
shocks. When comparing domestically a
state with high concentration implies high
volume of exports from that state, which
when considered relatively, is a good
thing. At the same time, exceptionally
high export concentration of a few states
implies a concentrated export profile
of the country. Thus, while maintaining
the high export volume in some states,
diversification should take place by
uplifting the states which are left behind.
This requires a diverse basket of exports
which comes from different regions in
the country. Market Penetration Index
evaluates a state’s extent of reaching
global markets, and its foothold in those
markets.
Overall, the states have averaged 24.95
in this sub-pillar, indicating a poor state of
export diversification in the country. This
is indicated by the fact that out of the
top ten exported commodities account
for nearly 80 percent of our total exports,
whereas our top ten destinations of
exports constituted nearly 49 percent
of our total exports. Therefore, India’s
export basket is concentrated to few
products and is targeted at few countries.
This implies a scope of improvement and
although new products are added, an
new countries are targeted, efforts need
to be directed to make the share of these
products and countries significant.
State-wise, Gujarat is a positive outlier
with a perfect 100 score implying
products with high overall value being
exported to various destinations in the
world. For its petroleum products, which
are its leading export, Gujarat exports
to nearly 109 countries. Other than
that, Gujarat is the leading supplier of
diamonds in the world, as it is one of
the largest hubs of polishing diamonds.
Top products of Gujarat, therefore, were
Petroleum products, and gems and
precious metals. Following Gujarat, states
of Tamil Nadu (70.81), Maharashtra
(63.57), Rajasthan (52.54), Haryana 146Export Preparedness Index 2022
(50.23), and Uttar Pradesh (45.63) have
performed well relative to other states in
this sub-pillar.
High export concentration in states such
as Gujarat, Maharashtra, Odisha, and
Uttarakhand implies the presence of a
few products dominating their exports.
These states can therefore benefit from
introducing new products which can help
them diversify their baskets and maintain
balance in their exports.
Tamil Nadu’s exports are buoyed by its
thriving exports of automobile parts
which are exported to over 133 countries,
and textiles which is exported to over
140 countries. Although Tamil Nadu
exports products to multiple countries,
there are still markets for products such
as Biotechnological Products, Marine
Products, Software services, and Auto
Components, which remain unexplored.
Therefore, States need to identify
products which are unique to them, and
boost their regional competitiveness.
For these products demand can be
created, and later these products can
be dominated in the global markets by
the state. Successfully achieving this will
boost the competitiveness of the state, as
well as the country. 147Export Preparedness Index 2022
Exports from the landlocked state of
Rajasthan were dominated by precious
gems. Rajasthan exports rubies,
sapphires and emeralds to 76 countries
out of the 94 countries in the world which
import them, implying a very high market
penetration. In terms of diversity products
like wooden products and automobile
parts were also top exports from the
state. Given the cultural heritage of
Rajasthan, there can be a plethora of
products which can be exported globally
and help it diversify its basket. Haryana
exported basmati rice, of which it has
been contesting a GI tag for, automobile
products, and textile products.
Among the Himalayan states and small
states/UTs, Delhi has performed the best
with a score of 40.5, followed by Dadra
and Nagar Haveli & Daman and Diu
This section analyses the performance of
states and union territories (UTs) based
on selected EPI indicators across the
years 2021 and 2022. The treatment
and definition of these parameters
have remained consistent over the
past two years; hence, they are directly
with a score of 23.58. Low-performers
in the category, and the country, are the
states of Meghalaya, Tripura, Nagaland,
Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Ladakh,
Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Mizoram,
Lakshadweep, which have all scored
less than 1 in this sub-pillar. Despite
some of these states having a policy and
export ecosystem, poor performance in
the performance pillar needs a closer
inspection by the state governments.
However, states lacking fundamental
infrastructure for exports need better
ground-up measures to nurture
exports in the state, as their regional
competitiveness remains to be unlocked.

Tamil Nadu1.
Highest scoring state in the index,
Tamil Nadu has an overall score
of 80.89. Exporting merchandise
worth over US$ 35 Billion, its top
products are Automotive Products,
Textiles, and Petroleum Products.
Tamil Nadu has constructed a robust
business ecosystem by investing in
infrastructure as it has a high area under
Special Economic Zones, no power
deficit, and a single-window clearance.
The state has also experienced a strong
increase in its FDI inflow, around US$
680 million, over the previous year. Along
with high investments and a robust
policy ecosystem to boost exports,
the state is also equipped
with a nurturing export
ecosystem as well.
The state has
dedicated
around
279
km2 to export promotion industrial parks and export promotion zones, along with dedicated Agri-export zones which help it export products efficiently. To further strengthen its export ecosystem, Tamil Nadu has the most projects (4) approved under the Trade Infrastructure Export Scheme by the central government. These proactive measures have helped the state register an increase of over 1100 exporters, who in turn contributed to an increase in its export value by over 34 percent in one year. The state has the highest global Market Penetration in the country, indicating its diverse basket and destinations of export.
Despite its accomplishments, the state
still has scope to improve its ecosystem
to further its export growth. At the
district-level, the state lacks export
action plans for fifteen of its districts.
If strategized, these districts can help
add to the current exports from the
state owing to its cultural heritage and
diversity of unique products. The state
also recorded a significant decrease in
the value addition by the manufacturing
sector, which calls for measures to assist
the sector. To help its exporters, the state
can invest in organizing trade fairs and
exhibitions, as it has currently organized
zero. Overall, focusing on its weaknesses
and bolstering its strengths can help
Tamil Nadu maintain its export growth
and increase the prosperity in the
state. 157Export Preparedness Index 2022
Maharashtra2.
Coastal State of Maharashtra has
recorded an overall score of 78.23
which placed it in the second position
in the country. It exported products
worth over US$ 73 Billion in 2021-
22, with its top products being
Diamond and Jewellery products,
Automobiles, Petroleum products,
and pharmaceutical products.
The
state has recorded an exceptional
policy ecosystem to facilitate exports
by formulating district-level and sector-
specific export promotion policies, along
with identifying thrust sectors, strategized
investments in which can further boost
its exports. The state also crafted a
robust business ecosystem laced with
high number of industry-specific parks
(311), which contribute to its high cluster
strength (80). All of its districts are
exporting districts and have connectivity
facilitated by air cargo terminals and
Free Trade Zones. To help its exporters,
the state has organized trade fairs and
exhibitions, along with capacity building
workshops which enable the exporters
to enter global markets. These measures
have helped it build a robust business
ecosystem which has contributed to
its exceptional export performance. In
numbers, the state currently has over
thirty-two thousand exporters and an
increase in export from US$ 58 Billion in
2020-21 to its current value.
To further improve its performance, the
state can take measures to support
its manufacturing sector as its value
addition to the state economy has
suffered a setback. Although the
state has the second highest inflow of
Foreign Direct Investment, which can
be attributed to its nurturing business
ecosystem, it has decreased in value
over the previous year by nearly US$
730 million. Taking measures to enable
growth in its manufacturing sector, and
consistently increasing its FDI inflow can
help the state in improving on its current
performance, and use exports to increase
development in the state. 158Export Preparedness Index 2022
Karnataka
Gujarat
3.
4.
The Indian state of Karnataka has,
overall, performed the third-best
on this index with an overall score
of 76.36. Recording an export
value of over US$ 25 Billion across
products like Petroleum Products,
Mobile phones, and iron and steel
products among others, the state has
performed well in terms of exports.

Increasing its global outreach to markets,
the state has improved its number of
exporters and thus, recorded a 67 percent
growth in its exports. The state also has a
high number of export products with a GI
tag, which implies identification of unique
products and increasing its regional
competitiveness. To bolster its business
ecosystem, the state offers High Tension
power at a lower tariff than the national
average. It also has a high number of IT/
Pharma parks which facilitate industry,
decent export credit, and high number
of air cargo terminals and export
warehouses to bolster its connectivity.
This coupled with a strong policy
ecosystem in the state has enabled a
decent export ecosystem with significant
institutional support to export-related
Research and Development.
Despite a strong business environment,
and export-oriented policy framework,
the state requires improvement in its
export ecosystem to further unlock
its growth. The state can leverage
schemes like TIES to improve its export
infrastructure, as well as regularly
organize capacity building workshops and
trade fairs to aid its exporters. The state
should also look into creating Free Trade
Zones and Special Economic Zones.
In terms of business environment, the
state can improve its storage facilities by
constructing more export dedicated cold
storages and warehouses. Karnataka
has a low cluster strength which implies
a low-level of interconnected industries
in the state. To unlock its potential, the
state can improve by enabling regions
to unlock their competitiveness. These
measures can aid the growth trajectory
of Karnataka and help it overcome its
weaknesses, which have prevented it
from scoring higher on the index.
Gujarat has secured the fourth position in the index with an overall score of
73.22. It has the highest export value in the country with exports worth over US$
126 Billion in 2021-22, constituting around 30 percent of India’s total exports.
This strong export performance can
be attributed to the state’s proactive
approach to build a supportive policy
ecosystem to foster exports, which
can be reflected in its strong export
ecosystem. To facilitate the export
ecosystem, the state has organized high
number of capacity building workshops
for its exporters, along with trade fairs and
exhibitions. Gujarat also has dedicated
export promotion zones, and special
economic zones to boost its exports. With
a high number of businesses having an
Import-Export Code, along with a large
fleet of exporters, the state has also
recorded nearly 110 percent growth in its 159Export Preparedness Index 2022
export value which accounts for nearly
35 percent of its state Gross Domestic
Product. The exports from the state are
rich, and have a vast global footprint
indicated by its high Market Penetration
Index. In terms of a business ecosystem,
the state has a high number of storage
facilities to facilitate its exports.
The state of Gujarat needs measures
to improve its business ecosystem as it
recorded the highest decrease in both
value addition by the manufacturing
sector, and Foreign Direct Investment
inflow. However, In absolute terms, the
state still has the highest value addition
from the manufacturing sector in the
country, along with the sixth highest
FDI inflow in the country. Thus, the
setback can be corrected with timely
policy measures which can assist the
manufacturing sector, and attract
investments. Overall improvement in the
cluster strength of the state can help it
leverage its regional advantages. Along
with it, the state can also benefit from
increasing the number of trade fairs
and exhibitions and investing in export-
dedicated research institutes. These
measures can help it use its large fleet
of exporters to its maximum potential.
Although, the state currently has strong
export performance, improving on its
weaknesses can help it improve its
robustness and make it resilient. 160Export Preparedness Index 2022
Andhra Pradesh5.
The coastal state of Andhra Pradesh
has overall scored 59.27 on the
index placing it in eighth position in
the country. In FY22, it recorded an
export value of over US$ 19 Billion
by exporting products such as Floats,
Seafood, and Iron products.
The state
has achieved this by creating a solid
policy framework which enables export
at the district level. In terms of export
ecosystem, the state has the highest
area under Export Promotion Zones, and
Agri-export zones which provides a huge
boost to its exports. Along with that, to
facilitate exporters, Andhra
Pradesh government
proactively
organizes
capacity
building
workshops and trade fairs. Presence
of testing labs and research institutes
in the state enables quality measures
for its products which help it compete
in the global markets. This enabling
environment has led to a decent increase
in its exporters and consequently, export
growth.
Although the state recorded an increase
in FDI, the state can improve its business
ecosystem to match its policy and export
ecosystem. Increasing the internet
coverage, reducing the cost of power,
and overcoming the existing power deficit
to industries can improve the business
infrastructure in the state. Improving
infrastructure would help it improve the
cluster strength in the state which could
unlock its regional competitiveness. Low
proportion of businesses with IEC implies
that many manufacturers do not export,
which hinders the growth of the region,
and the state. Measures to encourage
businesses to export by building their
capacity and establishing institutions
like certification agencies in the state
can be the future steps taken by the
state government to help it boost its
exports. 161Export Preparedness Index 2022
West Bengal
Odisha
6.
7.
West Bengal has recorded an export
value of over US$ 13.8 Billion while
primarily exporting Gold Jewellery,
Iron and Steel products, and memory
cards. The state has a satisfactory
performance on the index with
an overall score of 53.57 and has
secured the fourteenth position.
This performance has been driven by
its policy and business ecosystem. The
state has single window clearance for
its businesses, a healthy export credit
rate, presence of dedicated industrial
zones, and air cargo terminals and
storage facilities to boost connectivity.
These features make it suitable to
attract investments, although the
increase in FDI has been low. The
state has also registered an increase
in the number of exporters. Presence
of export promotion zones, trade fairs/
exhibitions for exporters, high number
of export or industry-oriented research
institutes, and high number of NABL and
NABCB accredited labs and certification
Odisha has recorded an export
growth of 66 percent over the
previous year, and around 156 percent
over its pre-pandemic exports, with
an export value of US$ 17.06 Billion
in 2021-22. On the index, the state
is placed at eleventh with an overall
score of 58.84.
To facilitate its exports,
the state has created a strong policy
framework, with export promotion
policies, and thrust sectors, which is
complemented by a robust institutional
mechanism. The state also provides high
Tension power at a low tariff to industry,
bodies helps the exporters. This positive
ecosystem is reflected in the state’s
export growth over the previous year.
The state, however, requires improvement
in certain areas to bolster its export
preparedness. West Bengal needs to
improve the coverage of District Export
Action Plans, which are only formulated
for 32 percent of its districts, and District
Export Promotion Committees, which are
constituted for 44 percent of its districts.
Improvement in these parameters can
help the state in creating an actionable
roadmap to increase export growth. The
state also needs to look into creating
Free Trade Zones and organize capacity
building workshops for its exporters. The
state can also look into improving the
number of businesses which have an
Import Export Code. Addressing these
problems and providing timely solutions
can help West Bengal improve its export
performance.
has single window clearance, a power
surplus, and industrial presence in terms
of dedicated zones. The state has also
recorded an increase in the value addition
by the manufacturing sector, which is
a positive outlier in the country. The
state offers good transport connectivity
in terms of air cargo terminals and
cold storage facilities. In terms of its
export infrastructure, the state has
Free Trade Zones, Agri-export zones,
and a high number of capacity building
workshops to aid its exporters. Proactive
measures by the state has contributed 162Export Preparedness Index 2022
to its high export performance which
is characterized by high export
concentration, relative to the country.
Building on this momentum, the state
can look into areas which require
improvement and further its export
growth. The state should undertake a
cluster-oriented business development
approach as it will help the state in
improving its overall productivity.
Infrastructurally, Odisha should
invest in creating Free Trade Zones,
export-dedicated warehouses, and
industry-dedicated research institutes.
Additionally, increasing the number of
trade fairs in the state, improving the
number of businesses with IEC, and
increasing the number of exporters in
the state can help its exports. Increased
exporters can help it diversify its basket
and help it penetrate more global
markets. Thus, concerted efforts by
the state will help it to continue on this
growth trajectory and leverage export-
oriented development in the state.
Kerala
8.
The lowest-performing coastal
state of Kerala has an overall score
of 44.03 and is placed 19th in the
country. Dominant exports from
the state include Gas Oil, cashews,
and shrimp which along with other
exports have led the state to an
export value of US$ 4 Billion.
In terms
of strengths, the state has a strong policy
ecosystem to facilitate exports. Kerala
also has a decent business ecosystem
with no power deficit, average cluster
strength, average internet coverage, and
a good presence of dedicated industrial
zones. In terms of connectivity, other
than a port, the state has air cargo
terminals, Free Trade Zones, and decent
storage facilities. However, despite all
of its districts exporting, and the state
registering an increase in exporters, the
overall growth in exports is moderate.
The state has the means to create
a robust infrastructure in place and
has shown positives throughout the
index. However, in terms of policy
ecosystem, the state lacks a knowledge
dissemination portal on global markets
for its manufacturers and a dedicated
state-center coordination cell to
strategize and plan its exports. The state
has a high tariff for High Tension power
to industries. Kerala has also registered
a decrease in the value addition from
manufacturing in the state economy.
Steps to improve performance on these
parameters can help the state in creating
a healthier business environment.
Betterment of export ecosystem in the
state can help it leverage its regional
advantages. Measures to do that
can include creating a trade guide for
the exporters, which can help them
understand the global markets and the
required quality standards. The state
should also invest in organizing events
for its exporters such as capacity building
workshops and trade fairs, along with
creating dedicated export promotion
zones. These measures can help it create
an export ecosystem which can help its
exports grow and thrive. 163Export Preparedness Index 2022
Landlocked States6.2
Haryana1.
Haryana is the best-performing
landlocked state and the fifth overall
with a score of 63.65 on the index. In
the fiscal year 2021-22, it exported
merchandise valued over US$ 15
Billion with its top exports being
Basmati Rice and Automobile parts.
Boasting a robust policy ecosystem,
the state created export promotion
policies and institutionalized them with
District Export Promotion Committees
and District Export Action Plans for all
its districts. The state also provided
marketing support to exporters and
instated felicitation measures like
awards and incentives to encourage
their performance. For the businesses
in the state, the government ensured
power supply, single window clearance,
dedicated industrial zones, and high
storage capacity in the shape of cold
storage and warehouses to facilitate
exports. The state also registered
an increase in its Foreign Direct
Investment by US$ 1100 Million in one
year. To enable its exporters, the state
government created Export Promotion
Zones, Knowledge Portals, and Trade
Guides. Haryana also has a high
number of NABL accredited labs, and
export-dedicated Research Institutes.
A significant increase in its number of
exporters has now brought the total to
over 10 thousand in the state. Along with
its growth in export performance, from
US$ 11 Billion in the previous fiscal year,
the state has ensured a global footprint
with high Market Penetration.
However, its gulf from the top-performing
states can be explained by presence
of areas in its export and business
ecosystem which require improvement.
Since its exports are dominated by
agricultural products, Haryana can
benefit from creating Agri-export zones,
for which it can also leverage government
schemes like TIES. Lowering the tariff
for High Tension power, increasing the
number of Free Trade Zones can improve
its performance. Measures to improve
the cluster strength in the state can
help it leverage its regional advantages.
Since the state is landlocked, investing
in air cargo terminals can help improve
its connectivity to various markets and
further make its export ecosystem more
enabling. 164 Export Preparedness Index 2022
Telangana
Uttar Pradesh
2.
3.
Telangana has secured the sixth
position in the index with an
overall score of 61.36. Top products
exported from the state included
pharmaceutical products and
Jewellery which contributed to an
overall export worth over US$ 10.9
Billion.
Healthy business ecosystem in
the state, an increase in FDI, contributed
to its export performance. The state has
invested in its business environment as
it has IT/Pharma parks, no power deficit,
transport connectivity via air cargo
terminals, and adequate storage facilities
like cold storages and warehouses.
Telangana also has a decent export
ecosystem as it has Export Promotion
Zones and organizes trade fairs and
exhibitions for its exporters. The state,
to further improve its infrastructure,
has applied under the TIES scheme
sponsored by the central government.
These proactive measures have led to an
increase in its exporters which is reflected
in its high global outreach.
In order to improve its export
performance, the state needs to match
its business ecosystem with an equally
robust export ecosystem. The state
can do this by supporting its, otherwise
strong, policy ecosystem by formulating
District Export Action Plans. This will help
it strategize better and set measurable
targets to evaluate its exports. Improving
the number of Free Trade Zones,
organizing capacity building workshops
can improve the environment for the
exporters in the state. The state can
look into lowering its High tariff of High
Tension to assist its industries. Telangana
has a low proportion of businesses with
IEC, along with a low number of products
with GI tags. This hampers its export
potential as regionally unique products
might be left behind in terms of exports.
Enabling their exports can help the state
in unlocking its regional competitiveness
and boost its local economy.
Landlocked state of Uttar Pradesh
secured seventh position in the
index with an overall score of 61.23.
Export of mobile phones, meat
products, and aluminum products
among others contributed to its total
exports valued at over US$ 21 Billion
in FY22.
The state has taken measures
such as creating District Export Action
Plans, export promotion policies, and
identifying thrust sectors to create a
policy framework which enables exports.
For businesses, Uttar Pradesh has 23 IT/
Pharma Parks, as well as low tariffs of
high tension power. For its exporters,
which have seen an increase of over 2700
in number, the state organizes trade fairs
and exhibitions and has a decent area
dedicated to Export-Promotion Zones and
Agri-export Zones. Furthermore, it has
NABL accredited labs to assist exporters
with testing of products and helping
them meet the global standards. Since
it has 34 GI tagged products to export,
meeting of global quality standards
helps it leverage on the uniqueness of its
product and create markets where it can
dominate. In terms of connectivity, the 165Export Preparedness Index 2022 165
state has air cargo terminals as well as
the highest number of cold storages in
the country to aid exports.
However, in terms of infrastructure
for businesses Uttar Pradesh requires
significant improvement. There is a
significant gap in the supply and demand
of power by the industries, low Foreign
Direct Investment and a decrease in the
value addition by the manufacturing
sector. The state government can
look into steps to improve the state
under these parameters. Furthermore,
improvement in its digital infrastructure
can help the state in leveraging the
benefits of digitization. Measures to
improve the situation involves exploring
ways to meet the power needs, increase
internet coverage, as well as promote
investor meets to increase FDI inflow.
The state also has a low proportion of
businesses having an IEC. Improving this
number will help Uttar Pradesh enable its
industry to compete directly in the global
markets since it has the measures to
enable its capacity. 166Export Preparedness Index 2022
Other Landlocked States4.
Among the landlocked states, Punjab
(58.95), Madhya Pradesh (55.68), and
Rajasthan (54.80) have performed
above the national average in terms
of export preparedness. However,
Jharkhand (43.91), Assam (43.19),
Bihar (41.06), and Chhattisgarh
(39.10) have scored lower overall.
All these states have established a
strong policy ecosystem, including
export promotion policies, sector-specific
policies, and institutional support such
as District Export Promotion committees.
However, Jharkhand and Assam need
to develop district export action plans to
enhance their export strategies at the
district level. To improve their business
ecosystem, all states except Rajasthan
and Punjab should consider reducing the
tariff for High Tension Power supplied
to industries. Additionally, Punjab, Bihar,
Jharkhand, Assam, and Chhattisgarh,
which face power deficits, should focus
on improving power supply.
All the mentioned states have
implemented single-window clearance
systems, which facilitate business
operations. Punjab, Jharkhand, Assam,
and Chhattisgarh have shown positive
value addition from the manufacturing
sector, while Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh,
and Bihar have experienced increased
FDI inflows. However, these states should
aim to attract more investments as their
absolute FDI values remain relatively low
compared to the top-performing states
in the country. Except for Punjab, the
internet coverage in these states is below
the national average, indicating the need
for improvements in digital infrastructure.
Strengthening industrial clusters can lead
to improved productivity and a more
favorable business environment. Creating
Free Trade Zones and enhancing storage
facilities, as demonstrated by Madhya
Pradesh’s abundant cold storage facilities
and export-dedicated warehouses, would
further support businesses and exports.
To enhance the export ecosystem, these
states should consider establishing
more agri-export zones to facilitate
agricultural exports, considering their
dominant agricultural sectors. Building
an exporters’ database, engaging
in consultations with stakeholders,
organizing exporter-oriented events
like trade fairs and exhibitions, and
conducting capacity-building workshops
can contribute to the improvement of
the export ecosystem. Despite their
varied performance, all these states have
recorded positive export growth and an
increase in the number of exporters. To
sustain this momentum, timely measures
to enhance the business and export
ecosystem are essential for these states
to strengthen their export preparedness
and boost their exports. 167Export Preparedness Index 2022
UTs and Small states6.3
Goa

Goa has scored 51.58 on the index
and has secured 16th position
overall. Its total export value stood at
US$ 2.43 Billion with Medicine, Iron,
and telephone parts as its primary
products.
Overall, the state has a robust
policy ecosystem which has helped
its government direct their actions to
improve exports. In terms of a business
ecosystem the state provides High
Tension power at a low tariff, has single
window clearance, dedicated industrial
zones, and a high cluster strength
indicating strong linkages between its
industries. The state has also recorded
an increase in FDI in the state over the
previous year. Goa has good connectivity
with air cargo terminals and storage
facilities, which aid its exports. Despite
an increase in exporters, the state has
registered a moderate increase in its
export value.
Among the Union Territories of India,
the average overall score is 31.65,
with Jammu and Kashmir scoring
the highest, followed by Delhi,
and the lowest score recorded by
Lakshadweep.
The performance of
UTs in terms of strengths varies. Jammu
and Kashmir and Ladakh have a strong
policy ecosystem with export promotion
policies and identified thrust sectors.
Delhi stands out with its robust business
ecosystem, supported by the strongest
The reasons for its low export
performance can be traced back to its
areas of concern across business and
export ecosystem. Focus on creating
Free Trade Zones, Agri-export zones,
and export-dedicated warehouses can
improve its export-specific infrastructure.
This can be done using availing
the benefits of schemes like TIES.
Maintenance of a database on exporters
can help the state stay up to date with
its export products and create strategies
to increase their value. Furthermore,
the state can organize workshops and
exhibitions for its manufacturers and
exporters and help them understand
the global markets and meet their
requirements. Proactive measures like
these can help Goa improve its export
performance.
cluster strength in the country. Regarding
the export ecosystem, Chandigarh, Dadra
and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu,
Delhi, Lakshadweep, and Puducherry
have all their districts involved in
exporting products. Jammu and Kashmir
and Andaman and Nicobar Islands have
maintained an exporter database. Most
UTs have NABL labs, except for Jammu
and Kashmir. Andaman and Nicobar
Islands and Puducherry have export-
dedicated research institutes. Notably, 168Export Preparedness Index 2022
Lakshadweep has witnessed a significant
increase in the number of exporters,
growing from 7 to 241 in 2021-22. Delhi
and Jammu, and Kashmir demonstrate
strong market penetration, indicating
exports to multiple destinations from
these regions.
Overall, the UTs have performed below
the national average, highlighting the
need for comprehensive improvements.
UTs such as Chandigarh, Puducherry,
Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and
Diu, and Lakshadweep should prioritize
creating a policy ecosystem. This
includes developing export promotion
policies, identifying thrust sectors, and
providing marketing support to local
manufacturers. Transport connectivity
and trade support are areas where the
UTs fall behind the national average.
Urgent measures, such as establishing
free trade zones, export-oriented
warehouses, and air cargo terminals,
can enhance connectivity with the
rest of the country. Investing in the
creation of trade guides and knowledge
dissemination portals for exporters would
also be beneficial. Organizing trade
fairs, exhibitions, and capacity-building
workshops can further strengthen the
export ecosystem. Addressing these
aspects will contribute to improving the
export capacity of the UTs.
Himalayan States6.4
Uttarakhand1.
The best-performing Himalayan state
of Uttarakhand has scored 59.13 in
the index and is ranked 9th overall
in the country. Registering a total
export value of over US$ 1.9 Billion,
the state primarily exports Zinc
products, pharmaceutical products,
and gold Jewellery.
All districts in the
state export products. In terms of business
ecosystem, Uttarakhand has dedicated
pharma parks, no power deficit, decent
storage facilities, and air cargo terminals
to boost connectivity, thus overcoming
its geographical disadvantages. The
state has registered a significant increase
over the previous year in FDI inflow. To
facilitate its exporters, the state has
organized Trade Fairs/Exhibitions and
capacity building workshops. The state
also maintains a database of its exporters
which enables it to be aware of its export
basket.
Improving in areas of concern for
the state can help it better its export
preparedness. Areas of concern for the
state include a lack of Free Trade Zones,
or Export Promotion Zones to help its
traders. Moreover, a low proportion
of businesses having IEC prevents
them from translating their business
environment advantages to exports. The
state has also recorded a decrease in
the export value from the previous year.
The state can take measures to improve
the weak cluster strength, high tariff
of High Tension power, and low export
credit rate. The state can, therefore, take
measures to strengthen its business
environment which coupled with its solid
policy ecosystem will reflect in its export
performance. 169Export Preparedness Index 2022

and cold storage facilities. The state has
a dedicated area under Export Promotion
Zones, along with Agri-export zones.
Himachal Pradesh has applied under the
TIES scheme of the government which
facilitates in creating export infrastructure
in the state. Proactive measures by the
state also include consulting stakeholders
to understand their issues, holding trade
fairs and capacity building workshops to
address those issues, and using research
institutes to lead innovation in the state.
The north-eastern states of
Manipur (40.77), Tripura (38.30),
Sikkim (36.86), Nagaland (34.63),
Meghalaya (24.34), Arunachal
Pradesh (19.92), and Mizoram
(16.96), have demonstrated
performance below the national
average.
To enhance their performance,
these states need to focus on
improving their business and export
ecosystem. One area of improvement
is the manufacturing sector, which
has experienced a decrease in value
addition for all states except Arunachal
Pradesh. Additionally, efforts should be
made to improve FDI inflows, address
The state has also doubled its number of
exporters and registered a positive export
growth in the state.
In order to improve its position, the state
needs to focus on key areas which impact
export growth. Firstly, the state government
should draft an export promotion policy
for the state. Having a clear roadmap
facilitates action by the government and
improves efficiency. Himachal Pradesh
can also work on improving the industrial
presence in the state by declaring
dedicated zones with incentives and
adopting a cluster-oriented approach
to mitigate its low cluster strength.
Additionally, creation of warehouses, a
database on exporters, and free trade
zones will positively impact the export
ecosystem in the state. These measures
can improve the export performance of
the state and help it leverage its regional
advantages and unlock its competitiveness.
power deficits in Arunachal Pradesh,
and strengthen linkages between
industries to enhance cluster strength, as
strong clusters drive state productivity.
Urgent attention should be given to
improving connectivity, as the lack
thereof accentuates the geographical
disadvantage of these states.
Establishing air cargo terminals, cold
storages, and warehouses can facilitate
exports and improve connectivity. 170Export Preparedness Index 2022
States like Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, and Nagaland can follow the lead of their
north-eastern counterparts by creating a knowledge dissemination portal for exporters.
While Mizoram already exhibits decent coverage under Export Promotion Zones,
other north-eastern states should strive to improve their performance in this area. The
creation of a trade guide can help exporters understand global markets and prepare
for associated challenges. Organizing exhibitions and capacity building workshops
can further empower exporters. Leveraging their rich cultural heritage, these states
should invest in research to develop new products from available resources, thereby
creating unique offerings that drive exports. Identifying more Geographical Indication
(GI) products to export can also diversify their export baskets. Currently, Mizoram (7)
and Manipur (6) lead in exporting GI products among these states. These measures
can enhance market penetration and overall export growth, except for Tripura.
Implementing these strategies will assist the north-eastern states in improving
their export performances. 171Export Preparedness Index 2022 172Export Preparedness Index 2022 173Export Preparedness Index 2022

KEY LEARNINGS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
In the course of the analysis of states’ performance across
the index, a few key learnings have come to the fore. Overall,
India has performed well on the policy pillar indicating a
healthy adoption of export oriented policy framework across
the country. In terms of business and export ecosystem, there
is an indication of a supportive business environment and
export infrastructure across the country however, in trade
support, business infrastructure, connectivity and research
and development, the country needs urgent steps to improve
its performance. Thus, the export performance across the
country is below par which indicates the presence of untapped
potential across the country. 174Export Preparedness Index 2022
To leverage India’s capabilities, the cause of regional disparities needs to be understood
and region-specific solutions need to be devised. The pillar-wise learnings are discussed
in detail in the above section however, some of those learnings are briefly discussed
below:
1
2
3
Coastal states have fared the best across all indicators with six out of the top
states in the index coming from the coastal region of the country. States like
Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Gujarat have shown exceptional
performance across pillars with all of them performing the best in atleast one
pillar. Furthermore, the higher average of coastal states represents their better
preparedness and higher contribution to the national exports.
Landlocked states have had a satisfactory performance in the index with Uttar
Pradesh and Haryana being the positive outliers. States like Punjab and Telangana
have performed adequately, however their regional advantages are left untapped
resulting in their average performance. Himalayan and UT/Small states, with the
exception of Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Goa, and Delhi, have registered an
unsatisfactory performance across the index indicating the need of urgent reforms
by their state governments.
In terms of strengths, policy ecosystem is a positive story with multiple states
adopting the necessary policy measures to drive exports in their states. At the
district-level, 73 percent of districts in the country have an export action plan and
over 99 percent are covered under the ‘One District One Product’ scheme. Creating
institutions further accentuates the impact of the policies, as it aids in their
implementation. Similarly, the states have a decent business environment with
many states boasting dedicated industrial presence, single-window clearance,
and healthy export credit rates. Presence of decent export infrastructure across
many states with information portals, trade guides, and export promotion zones
represents the success of these export-oriented policy measures. This is also
reflected in the fact that 29 states have registered a positive growth rate in
exports over their pre-pandemic levels. 175Export Preparedness Index 2022
4
5
6
7
On the other hand, states have lagged in terms of transport connectivity. The
absence of air connectivity hampers the movement of goods across regions,
especially in states which are landlocked or geographically disadvantaged.
Strengthening infrastructure for business is another key learning, as many states
have poor cluster strength with the national average being 39. Industrial presence
in states cannot improve productivity unless there is a nurturing environment
created by the state. The lower performance of the country in terms of Research
and Development indicates the lack of attention given to the role of innovation in
exports.
26 states in the country have registered a decrease in the gross value addition
by their manufacturing sector indicating the continued presence of the impact of
the pandemic. Furthermore, 10 states have registered a decrease in the inflow of
Foreign Direct Investment. These findings implore their state government to both
continue and extend its support to the industries which are struggling.
For the exporters in the state to compete in the global markets, proper channels of
knowledge dissemination need to exist. Lack of capacity building workshops for
exporters hampers their ability to penetrate the global markets as 25 of 36 states
have organized less than 10 workshops across a year. Existence of government
schemes to support states cannot be effective unless states take the opportunity
and leverage its benefits. Three states in the entire country have applied under
TIES, out of which two of them have had their projects approved.
There exists high export concentration in the country with ten of our commodities
accounting for nearly 80 percent of our total exports. Along with this, only 100
districts in the country are responsible for nearly 87 percent of our exports. Other
regions in the country need to identify their bottlenecks and leverage their regional
advantage to increase competitiveness across regions in the country. In terms of
market penetration, 49 percent of our exports go to only ten destinations in the
world. This leaves the rest of the world to be a market which the states are yet to
explore and dominate. 176Export Preparedness Index 2022
Recommendations
The disparities that have come across in the preparedness of the states need to be
addressed in a timely manner for India to grow its exports. Although the impact of
policy measures are felt with time, and differently across regions, some common issues
across the states can be alleviated with the following recommendations:
1
Overcoming regional disparity across the country requires context-specific solutions devised by the state governments. Although policy adoption is crucial first, the capacity of a state to implement those policy measures in a meaningful way varies. Thus, for the states which have been lagging behind the most in terms of export performance, the central government should extend support to enable them to build the necessary ecosystem to facilitate their exports. Lack of capacity should not hinder a state from leveraging its regional advantages. Also, states should be encouraged to adopt good practices from their peers if they suit them as well. For example, Himalayan states of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand can serve as an example for their north-eastern counterparts.
Similiarly, Indian states need measures to overcome the challenges which they all
are facing collectively. For example, Indian states need to invest in Research and
Development as it helps in product innovation, creation of market-specific products,
improvement in product quality, reduction of cost and improvement in efficiency. States
can, therefore, establish dedicated research institutes with regular funding and leverage
them to improve their exports. In addition to that, states need to leverage government
schemes to help their exporters increase their capacities. TIES, as an example, can be
utilized to create export promotion zones, transport facilities, or export-related research
facilities in the state. This can present an opportunity for states with weak economies
to compete with the dominant export states in the country. Thus, targeted action in
areas where a state is lagging, either devised by the state itself or with the central
government’s assistance, is crucial for their growth.
Location-specific Strategies to Boost Exports 177Export Preparedness Index 2022
2
Indian states have a plethora
of GI products which represents
an opportunity for them to create a
unique product that can be exported
to the global market. Owing to its
exclusivity to a state within India, these
products can be used to establish a state in a
global market. For example, Kancheepuram Silk
products can only be exported by Tamil Nadu and
have no competition across the country, thus boosting its
manufacturing, improving its quality, and identifying markets
globally can help Tamil Nadu improve its exports. Similarly, other
than exporting GI products, states should identify other markets for their
existing products as it provides new opportunities for the Indian exporters.
Diversification of
Export Markets
3
Identifying and promoting high-growth sectors such as information technology,
pharmaceuticals, automotive, textiles, and renewable energy can enhance India’s
export potential. Emphasizing value-added and technology-intensive products/services
can help capture a larger share of global markets. The products thus identified can
be put through quality testing and honed to perfection. Maintaining high quality and
adhering to international standards and certifications is crucial for gaining the trust of
global buyers. Indian exporters should focus on product quality, safety, and compliance
to meet the requirements of the international market. Strengthening the manufacturing
sector through initiatives like “Make in India” can make Indian products more
competitive in the international market. This involves improving infrastructure, reducing
logistics costs, simplifying regulatory frameworks, and promoting
innovation and research and development.

Comprehensive evaluation of exports requires robust data across relevant
indicators. Important indicators at the state level, such as domestic investment
or investment realised from investment summits, source of origin of export
data, and service exports at the state level, is necessary for a comprehensive
evaluation of the preparedness of Indian states. The issue of the origin of
exports in India is especially pertinent when considering the context of states
and UTs. There may be inconsistencies or constraints in the data collection
procedure, making it difficult to accurately assess the origin of exports from
various states. Addressing this issue is crucial for a variety of reasons: it aids
in the formulation of targeted policies and incentives to promote and support
specific industries in different regions; it enables effective monitoring of
trade patterns and identification of emerging trends at the state level; and it
improves compliance with international trade regulations. Another obstacle to
analysing service exports and investment data in Indian states is the absence
of accurate and reliable statistics. They play an important part in India’s
exports, but the lack of state-specific data hinders our ability to comprehend
their regional dynamics and contributions. Thus, solutions to rectify these
issues with data collection and availability would help in improving the
accuracy of assessing export preparedness.

India has signed multiple Foreign Trade Agreements in recent years. These 12 FTAs/RTAs are signed with various countries across the world such as Mauritius, Argentina, Colombia, ASEAN countries, and the most recent being signed with UAE
19
. India has
also signed an agreement of economic cooperation with Australia, representing India’s trade policy of entering new markets
20
. These agreements allow India to conduct free
trade with these countries in a bid to create a more favorable trading environment, stimulate economic growth, enhance market access, promote fair competition, and provide benefits to the participating countries. States can leverage these markets by identifying the countries’ needs to orient their products to meet these requirements. Facilitation of market knowledge to exporters by the state becomes crucial in enhancing their ability to penetrate these markets. Similarly, manufacturers can seek investment from these countries and improve their productivity.

WAY FORWARD
The post-pandemic global economy has posed several
challenges, with the Russo-Ukrainian war being the latest.
Despite these obstacles, India’s export ecosystem has proven
resilient, and the country has surpassed its pre-pandemic
export level by recording a trade value of over US$ 400 Billion
in FY2022. The Government of India and Indian states have
collaborated to achieve this success, but sustained efforts are
required to maintain this momentum. 181Export Preparedness Index 2022
To improve India's export performance,
states need to enhance their
competitiveness, and the Export
Preparedness Index can be a valuable
tool in identifying weaknesses and
implementing policy action. Peer
learning among states with good export
performance can help weaker states
develop a roadmap for improvement.
Cooperation and healthy competition
between states can leverage the
country's heterogeneity and positively
impact export performance.
States have developed solid policy
frameworks, and efforts should now be
directed towards improving business
infrastructure, transport connectivity,
diversifying export baskets, and
penetrating more global markets.
Encouraging the promotion of unique
products such as GI-tagged products can
also help achieve these goals. Correct
compensation for states' contributions to
national exports requires determining the
source of origin of a product, and steps
must be taken to address this issue.
The central government's measures
to promote inter-state cooperation
and competition and promote cost-
competitiveness and technological
advancements in exports at the state
level are welcome steps. Centre-state
cooperation is crucial in improving
exports, as it can help weaker states
catch up with better-performing states.
Improved coordination and concerted
efforts by all stakeholders are necessary
to overcome obstacles in boosting India's
export performance. The role of state
governments in achieving this cannot be
overstated, and the Export Preparedness
Index can be a valuable tool for states
to evaluate themselves and drive policy
action. By learning from their better-
performing peers and addressing their
shortcomings, state governments can
contribute to India's export growth and
establish the country as a dominant
player in the global trade. 182 183
