Export insurance cover extended to March 2027
In short
Indian exporters will keep upgraded insurance protection against buyer payment defaults until March 31, 2027, for shipments to West Asia. The earlier eligibility was set to expire after September 30.
This matters because the cover can help exporters if buyers do not pay. The reporting does not say how much the protection costs or which companies will use it most.
