## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY

## (SHRI JITIN PRASADA)

(a) ODOP is an initiative by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT),  Ministry  of  Commerce  and  Industry  to  promote  the  indigenous  products  of  the country. Under the ODOP Initiative, 1200+ products have been identified from 773 districts

of  the  country.  ODOP  products  are  identified  by  the  respective  States/Union  Territories (UTs), and the finalized list is communicated to the Department for Promotion of Industry and  Internal  Trade  (DPIIT)  by  the  relevant  departments  of  the  States/UTs.  The  details  of unique products identified (district-wise) from Andhra Pradesh under the ODOP initiative as of 2nd July 2025 are mentioned in Annexure A .

The Districts  as  Export  Hubs  (DEH)  initiative,  launched  in  August  2019,  aims  to  identify, brand,  and  promote  products  and  services  from  each  district  in  India  that  possess  unique economic potential. The core objective of the initiative is to boost exports by leveraging the inherent strengths and  competitive  advantages  of  each  district,  while  also  promoting decentralized  and  inclusive  export  growth.  It  further  seeks  to  provide  a  platform  for  local producers,  artisans,  and  entrepreneurs  to  access  national  and  international  markets  through targeted support and facilitation.

Under the DEH framework, products and services have been identified through a consultative process  with  the  respective  State  Governments  and  Union  Territories,  taking  into  account factors such as existing production clusters, export potential, local specialization, employment generation, and historical or cultural significance of the product.

In  the  case  of  Andhra  Pradesh,  a  detailed  list  of  products  and  services  identified  under  the DEH initiatives, district-wise, is mentioned at Annexure B .

(b) The  ODOP  and  DEH  initiatives  are  ongoing  initiatives  without  financial  outlay sanctioned under any specific budgetary framework.

(c) to (f) The  partnership  between  DGFT  and  EXIM  Bank  as  part  of  the  Grassroots Initiative and Development (GRID) programme aimed to enhance export capabilities in select districts.  As  part  of  this  collaboration,  and  in  alignment  with  the  Districts  as  Export  Hubs (DEH) initiative, six districts were identified with the objective of addressing and mitigating export bottlenecks. The list of districts is mentioned in Annexure C .
