DGFT Trade Notice 2026: New Online System for EPCG Redemption (Phase 2)

## Key points As of August 07, 2026, the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has officially rolled out Phase 2 of the digital redemption module for the Export Promotion Capital Goods (EPCG) scheme. Following DGFT Trade Notice No. 18/2026-27 dated 2026-08-07, exporters can now utilize an automated nexus validation and e-BRC mapping tool to close their files. This update specifically targets cases involving multi-product exports where manual calculation of Export Obligation (EO) previously caused significant delays. ## What this means for exporters This digital shift significantly reduces the turnaround time for receiving your Export Obligation Discharge Certificate (EODC). By automating the reconciliation of shipping bills with the EPCG authorization, the system minimizes human error and physical visits to Regional Authorities (RA). For SME manufacturers, this ensures faster liquidity by speeding up the release of Bank Guarantees and Customs Bonds. **Who should act now:** Holders of EPCG authorizations issued between 2020 and 2024 who are approaching their 6-year block for EO fulfillment should log into the DGFT portal immediately to verify their data.
