- (a) &  (b)  The  Government  of  India  has  launched  the  Trade  Infrastructure  for  Export Scheme (TIES) scheme w.e.f FY 2017  -18 to assist Central and State Government agencies for creation of appropriate infrastructure for growth of exports from the States. The Scheme provides financial assistance in the form of grant-in-aid to Central/State Government agencies for setting up or for up-gradation of export infrastructure as per the guidelines of the scheme. The scheme can be availed by the States through their

implementing agencies, for infrastructure projects with significant export linkages like Border Haats, Land customs stations, quality testing and certification labs, cold chains, trade promotion centres, export warehousing and packaging, SEZs and ports/airports cargo terminuses. The Scheme guidelines are available at http://commerce.gov.in.

Under the TIES scheme, financial  assistance  for  a total  of  44 export infrastructure projects has been approved during FY 2017-18, 2018-19, 2019-20 &  2020-21 (as on 12 th     March, 2021).
