## STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARTS (a) to (f) OF LOK SABHA STARRED  QUESTION  NO.  147  FOR  ANSWER  ON  10 th   FEBRUARY,  2026 REGARDING 'ONE DISTRICT ONE PRODUCT'.

- (a) to (f): The Districts as Export Hubs initiative is an enabling framework of Directorate General  of  Foreign  Trade  (DGFT),  Department  of  Commerce,  Ministry  of Commerce & Industry with no financial outlay. The initiative functions through the convergence and coordination of existing schemes, programmes, and institutional efforts of the Central and State Governments (including Maharashtra), as well as other stakeholders, to promote export potential at the district level. Further, One District One Product (ODOP) of the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) is an initiative to promote the products  from  each  district  of  the  country.  The  idea  is  to  select,  brand,  and promote at least one Product from each District (One District - One Product) of the country for enabling holistic socioeconomic growth across all regions.

Several steps have been undertaken to promote and enhance the visibility of products and services identified under the ODOP and Districts as Export Hubs (DEH) initiative including the products identified from Maharashtra. These steps include, facilitating participation in domestic  and  international exhibitions, capacity building initiatives in collaboration with various agencies; e-commerce on-boarding drives for Government e-Marketplace (GeM)- ODOP Bazaar which showcases and stocks India's  best  ODOP products.  For  promoting  ODOP at international level, engagement with Indian Missions abroad, virtual buyer sellers meets and participation in international exhibitions have been undertaken. Also, various ODOP Products have been included as part of gifting during multilateral and bilateral meetings in India to popularize these products internationally.

Mumbai, as the State's  export,  logistics,  and  financial  hub;  facilitates  exports through its ports, international airport, SEZs, and trade infrastructure. As per the information received from the Government of Maharashtra, for promoting ODOP from  Mumbai,  different  interventions  have  been  undertaken.  As  Gems  and Jewellery is the identified ODOP product from Mumbai; Government of India has facilitated  the  establishment  of  the  India  Jewellery  Park  Mumbai  (IJPM)  at Mahape, Navi Mumbai. Spread across approximately 21.3 acres, the project is being developed by the Gems and Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) in partnership with the Government of Maharashtra. In addition, Government of India has supported the establishment of a Common Facility Centre (CFC) at SEEPZ  Special Economic Zone, thereby strengthening trade facilitation infrastructure linked to Mumbai.

Under the District as Export Hub (DEH) initiative of DGFT, identification of the products and services with export potential in all the districts of the country is done  in  consultation  with  all  stakeholders  including  the  States/UTs.  Further, under DEH, institutional mechanism has been set up in all States/UTs by forming the  State Export Promotion Committee (SEPC) and District Export Promotion Committee  (DEPC)  at  the  district  level.  In  Maharashtra,  the  State  Export Promotion Committee (SEPC) as well as District Export Promotion Committees

(DEPCs) in all the 36 districts have been constituted. The district-wise products identified in Maharashtra under ODOP initiative is attached as Annexure-I .

The Government of Maharashtra has proactively undertaken the preparation and implementation  of  District  Action  Plans  through  District  Export  Promotion Committees  by  organising  promotional  initiatives  such  as  IGNITE  (Industrial Growth Networking for Inclusive Transformation and Empowerment), Maharashtra  Exports  Awards  and  through  convergence  of  existing  schemes related  to  industrial  clusters  MSI-  CDP  (Maharashtra  State  Industrial-  Cluster Development  Programme),  CMEGP  (Chief  Minister  Employment  Generation Programme), Logistics policy and allied sectors.

Further,  Government  of  Maharashtra  has  earmarked  a  part  of  the  export promotion  budget  under  the  Maharashtra  State  Export  Policy  2023,  for  the promotion of ODOP products. To monitor and execute the District Export Action Plans prepared by the respective District Export Promotion Committees, it has been uploaded on the MAITRI portal of the Government of Maharashtra. As a result of the above policy interventions , Maharashtra's total exports in the year 2024- 2025 was increased to INR 5,57,271 Cr. as compared to INR 5,56,400 Cr. in the year 2023-2024 (source DGCIS portal).
