Two govt tools launched June 27, buried in a six-platform rollout aimed at no one: an online testing portal (book, pay, track, download — no blind 2-week wait) and a new ONDC buyer channel. Announced. Covered. Still invisible to exporters.

UK FTA goes live July 15. "99% duty-free" hides two catches: sugar, rice, pork, chicken & eggs stay at full duty — and even covered goods need a Certificate of Origin to actually get 0%. Check your HS code first. #IndianExports#UKIndiaFTA
Your CA told you 18 months to complete export obligation. DGFT cut it to 12 in May — capital goods only keep 18. Miss it and it's customs duty + 15% interest a year, not a warning.

Your RoDTEP claim doesn't get rejected anymore. It gets held for 15 days — while you go find which number doesn't match your GST filings.
Most exporters won't know to look until the clock's already running.
#IndianExports#MSME
An import licence used to mean you were cleared. Not anymore.
Steel, aluminium, and select electronics imports now need a separate inspection certificate — licence or not. 40+ containers sat held at JNPT in week one. ₹2.1L/day in demurrage.

Mechanic. Caterer. Landlord. Repair shop. Everyone's paid more than they were quoted somewhere.
A freight quote plays the same trick — just with unfamiliar terms instead of "parts extra."
KalpSetu shows the real number first.
#IndianExports#MSME
CHA filing. Licensing queue. Port verification. Compliance check. Freight agent who ghosts you.
That's one trade. Before it even starts.
We solved all five. https://t.co/mOFnR0XQNI

Courier exports were capped at ₹10 lakh per consignment. DGFT removed the cap this April — no more splitting shipments just to stay under it.
Full breakdown in the carousel.

US confirmed 25% tariff on copper imports this week.
India imports 95% of its copper. Cables. Transformers. EV components. All repricing now.
Most Indian manufacturers will find out from the next invoice.
#IndianExports#MSME
"Shipment confirm. Rate pakka. Tension mat lo."
Then you asked what "all-in" actually meant.
The typing indicator appeared. Then disappeared.
That silence is what KalpSetu was built to fill.
#IndianExports#MSME
India's steel demand is up 8.7%. Prices just fell anyway.
Safeguard duty isn't catching HR coil imports — up 137.8%. China's import share: 22.7% → 31.3%. Vietnam's now a top-5 source. No new rule against India. Just a loophole nobody priced in.

Ships queued for days outside Mundra & Nhava Sheva this week. Drivers stranded. Fuel scarce. Containers stuck.
Check your route before you commit, not after.
#IndianExports#ExportIndia
400,000 KitKat bars vanished mid-shipment across Europe this week.
This is exactly what a Port Friction Index is built to catch — before the cargo disappears, not after.
Know the friction on your route before you commit the shipment.

You don't always need KalpSetu. You'll know the moment you do — fake buyer, compliance wall, lost trade. One search tells you the right move.
#IndianExports#ExportIndia
₹40,000. That's what consultants charge Indian MSMEs for an HS code and a compliance list.
KalpSetu returns the same — plus landed cost, buyers, and live mandi prices — from one plain sentence.
Just tell us what you have.

Nhava Sheva: 72hr clearance
Mundra: 48hr clearance
That 24hr gap = ₹8,000–12,000 storage per container.
Port selection isn't geography. It's margin.
KalpSetu models port friction into every analysis.

India was at both tables. Same weekend.
→ US-China talks: Beijing
→ BRICS FM Summit: New Delhi
US buyers need non-China supply chains.
BRICS wants India as the neutral corridor.
Both sides need India accessible.
Window: 2-3 quarters.

What Indian exporters learn the hard way:
→ Real landed cost is 18-35% above FOB
→ Compliance gaps surface after you commit
→ Port friction has a real price
→ East Africa is wide open
→ UAE CEPA = zero duty corridor
KalpSetu shows you first.
