What EPCG means for buyers
Allows duty-free import of capital goods for producing export goods, subject to an export obligation.
For a global brand, schemes like EPCG are invisible but decisive: they lower the true cost base of Indian factories, which is why FOB prices from India increasingly undercut comparable China-sourced goods — without compromising on quality or compliance.
Administered by the DGFT, EPCG (Export Promotion Capital Goods Scheme) sits inside the policy architecture that keeps Indian exports price-competitive. The headline benefit — Zero customs duty on capital goods — accrues to the manufacturer rather than the buyer, but it reshapes the quote you receive: lower embedded costs translate into keener FOB pricing and more room to negotiate on volume. When you source through MadeFromIndia, scheme-backed pricing is already baked into every landed-cost benchmark, so you see the real number against rival origins.
