Introduction India’s trade and manufacturing ecosystem is not limited to physical exports crossing international borders. Many supplies made within India are treated as exports under the Foreign Trade Policy due to their strategic, economic, or developmental importance.

In recent years, increased government focus on infrastructure, defense, power, and public sector manufacturing has made the Deemed Export License increasingly relevant for Indian manufacturers, EPC contractors, and suppliers. Understanding this framework is essential for businesses looking to remain compliant while maximising policy benefits. What Are Deemed Exports in India? Deemed exports refer to supplies of goods manufactured in India that do not physically leave the country but are treated as exports because of their end use or recipient. These trans...
