RoDTEP Rate Change 2026: New Rates for Textile and Engineering Goods

## Key points from the update The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has issued **Notification No. 88/2026-27** on August 6, 2026, revising the Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (RoDTEP) rates for over 200 tariff lines. The update primarily targets the engineering, textile, and chemical sectors to align Indian exports with global market fluctuations. This move is designed to ensure that the RoDTEP scheme remains a robust tool for cost neutralization for Indian exporters. ## What this means for exporters Exporters in the affected sectors will see a direct impact on their electronic duty credit ledgers. The revised rates will apply to shipping bills filed on or after the date of notification. It is critical for manufacturers and merchant exporters to update their internal pricing models and verify the new Appendix 4R schedule to maximize their refund claims. **Who should act now:** All SME exporters in the engineering and textile industries should check the revised rates against their HSN codes immediately.
