11,000 exporters avail benefits under interest equalisation scheme: Govt

The government on Tuesday said about 11,000 exporters avail the benefits under the interest equalisation scheme to get credit at concessional interest rates. Interest equalisation has been an important policy instrument, especially for MSME exporters, for bringing down the higher cost of credit incurred by Indian exporters vis-a-vis their foreign competitors, Minister of State for Commerce and Industry Jitin Prasada said in a written reply to the Lok Sabha. In India, the repo rate stands at about 6.25 per cent, with exporters bearing interest rates ranging between 8 to 12 per cent or even more, depending on the spread and risk assessment of the borrower by the Authorised Dealer Banks. In competing countries, the interest rate is very low. For instance, the central bank rate in 2025 is 3.1 per cent in China, 3 per cent in Malaysia, 2 per cent in Thailand, and 4.5 per cent in Vietnam. "Approximately, 11,000 exporters avail the benefits under the scheme," he said. Up to June 30, the
