DGFT Public Notice 2026: New RoDTEP Benefit for Green Hydrogen Export

## Key points In a strategic move to promote sustainable fuels, the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has issued **Public Notice No. 28/2026 dated August 07, 2026**. This notice amends Appendix 4R of the Foreign Trade Policy to include specific RoDTEP (Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products) rates for 'Green Hydrogen' and 'Green Ammonia'. This is the first time these nascent sectors have been integrated into the duty remission framework, allowing exporters to claim a percentage of the FOB value as tax refunds to offset embedded central and state levies. ## What this means for exporters Manufacturers of green energy products can now enhance their global price competitiveness. As per the DGFT Public Notice, the benefits are applicable for shipments made from the date of the notice. The scheme covers duties on fuel used for transportation of raw materials, electricity duty on generation, and stamp duties on export documentation that are not otherwise refunded under GST. This policy alignment supports the National Green Hydrogen Mission and provides a significant financial cushion for MSMEs entering the renewable energy export market. **Who should act now:** Manufacturers and Merchant Exporters of Hydrogen and Ammonia products should update their shipping bill declarations to include the RoDTEP intent code. Ensure your e-BRC is correctly mapped to avoid delays in credit ledger issuance. Need help with RoDTEP documentation?
