Export Promotion Councils (EPCs) have been set up for the purpose of promotion and development of exports from India. EPCs are non-profit organisations providing information and assistance to their members in order to boost exports. At present there are 19 EPCs and 9 Commodity Boards in India.
The Indian Trade Promotion Organisation (ITPO), a multi-product and non-sectoral service organisation, helps in export promotion efforts mainly through trade fairs and other export development programmes in comparatively less explored markets.
In addition, Industry Associations such as ASSOCHAM, FICCI, CII and FIEO at the national level, and industry specific organistions assist members in export promotion.
