The LIFT scheme under the Export Promotion Mission (NIRYAT DISHA), provides partial reimbursement of freight costs to offset geographical disadvantages affecting exporters from identified districts, including North-eastern states, hill regions, and select other states. Eligible MSMEs with valid IEC and Udyam registration can claim up to 30% reimbursement of freight costs (capped at 20% of FOB value), subject to an annual ceiling of Rs 20 lakh per IEC. Support applies only to notified products and shipments exceeding 200 km to ICDs, ports, or air cargo complexes, excluding deemed exports and SEZ supplies.
