What other export incentive schemes exist besides RoDTEP for a D2C brand?
The short answer
Beyond RoDTEP, look at EPCG (duty-free import of capital goods used for export production), duty drawback schemes, and various state-level export promotion incentives - each targets a different part of the export cost stack, so most exporters end up claiming two or three of these together, not just one. These schemes have real eligibility fine print and change fairly often, so work with a CA or export consultant who tracks DGFT notifications rather than relying on a single blog post from a year ago.
