The Government also approved capital infusion of Rs 2,000 crore to Export Credit Guarantee Corporation (ECGC) to enhance insurance coverage to micro, small medium enterprises exports. It has also approved contribution of grant-in-aid (corpus) of Rs 1,040 crore to National Export Insurance Account Trust (NEIA) to promote project exports. Funds to ECGC would be infused in the three financial years — Rs 50 crore in 2017-18, Rs 1,450 crore in 2018-19 and Rs 500 crore for 2019-20. “The infusion would enhance insurance coverage to MSME exports and strengthen India's exports to emerging and challenging markets like Africa, CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) and latin American countries,” an official statement said.
