NITI Aayog Releases Export Preparedness Index 2024

NITI Aayog, a think tank in India, released a report called the Export Preparedness Index (EPI) 2024.

This report checks how ready different states and areas in India are for exporting goods.

Maharashtra was the top state in the large states category, while Uttarakhand and Jammu and Kashmir were among the top in the small states category.

The report looks at things like how good the infrastructure is, how easy it is to do business, and how well the states are performing in exports.

The goal is to help states improve and do better in global trade.

The report also talks about the importance of districts and suggests ways to make exports stronger and create more jobs.

Uttar Pradesh, a landlocked state, made a significant leap to the fourth position, showcasing its export potential and the effectiveness of its export-promotion policies.

Telangana, with a score of 57.14, was ranked eighth, highlighting its industrial strength in pharmaceuticals, aerospace, and agriculture.

Andhra Pradesh, with a score of 60.65, was ranked fifth, known for its strong export-driven economy, particularly in seafood and pharmaceuticals.
