Maharashtra tops NITI Aayog’s Export Preparedness Index 2024

New Delhi, Jan 14 (UNI) Maharashtra has emerged as India’s most export-ready large state, topping the NITI Aayog’s Export Preparedness Index (EPI) 2024, followed by Tamil Nadu and Gujarat, according to the report released on Tuesday.
Among large states, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Punjab and Telangana were also classified as “Leaders”, reflecting strong performance across export infrastructure, policy support, industrial ecosystem and export outcomes. Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Kerala and West Bengal were placed in the “Challenger” category, indicating growing export potential but continuing gaps in logistics, cost competitiveness and MSME integration.
Releasing the report, NITI Aayog Chief Executive Officer B.V.R. Subrahmanyam said the global environment remained highly volatile but also offered new openings for countries willing to adapt. “The world is passing through very turbulent times,” he said, adding that the disruption had created “opportunities for nations to break through.”
