NITI Aayog will be releasing the third edition of Export Preparedness Index (EPI) for States/UTs of India for the year 2022.
What is the Export Preparedness Index (EPI)?
EPI is a comprehensive tool which measures the export preparedness of the States and UTs in India.
Aim: To undertake a comprehensive analysis of States and UTs across export-related parameters in order to identify their strengths and weaknesses.
– To present a comprehensive picture of states and UT’s export preparedness.
– To highlight the achievements of states/UTs and encourage peer-learning among the states/UTs to uphold the spirit of competitive federalism.
Pillars: The index assess the performance of the States and UTs across four pillars:
– Policy Pillar evaluates states and UTs’ performance based on its adoption of the export-related policy ecosystem at a state and district level as well as the institutional framework surrounding the ecosystem.
– Business Ecosystem assesses the prevailing business environment in a state/UT, along with the extent of business-supportive infrastructure, and a state/UTs’ transport connectivity.
– Export Ecosystem focuses on the export-related infrastructure in a state/UT along with the trade support provided to the exporters, and the prevalence of Research and Development in the state/UT to foster innovation.
– Export Performance is an output-based indicator which gauges the growth of a state’s export over the previous year and analyzes its export concentration and footprint on the global markets.
