DGFT Trade Notice 2026: New Online RODTEP Annual Ceiling Tracker

## Key points The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has released **Trade Notice No. 19/2026-27** dated August 10, 2026, introducing a real-time 'Annual Ceiling Tracker' for the RoDTEP scheme. This tool is designed to provide transparency regarding the remaining budgetary allocation for specific HSN codes under the Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (RoDTEP) scheme. The notice ensures that exporters can plan their pricing and shipments with certainty about the availability of scrips. ## What this means for exporters Under the RoDTEP scheme, subsidies are subject to annual budgetary caps. With the new tracker integrated into the DGFT e-governance portal, exporters can now see if a particular product category is nearing its limit before they finalize export contracts. As per Trade Notice No. 19/2026-27, this tool will prevent the sudden 'denial of scrips' that occasionally occurred in previous years due to budget exhaustion. It is a critical planning tool for high-volume sectors like textiles and engineering. ## Who should act now Exporters in the SME sector should immediately check their 8-digit HSN codes on the tracker to ensure their planned exports for the current quarter are covered under the available budget.
