Gujarat ranks first in export performance pillar in EPI.
Jul 19, 2023

Gujarat has achieved significant recognition in the Export Preparedness Index (EPI) for 2021-22. The state ranked first in the export performance pillar and second in the policy pillar. With merchandise exports totalling over $126 billion (Rs 10,33,694 crore approx.) in FY 2021-22, Gujarat led India in this aspect, accounting for 30% of the country's total merchandise exports. Notably, Gujarat doubled its export value compared to the previous year, which stood at $63 billion (Rs 5,16,847 crore approx.) in FY 2020-21. Overall, Gujarat achieved a score of 73.22, placing it in the fourth position when considering all pillars.
 
The EPI is a comprehensive framework used to assess the export preparedness of states and union territories. It evaluates four key pillars: policy, business ecosystem, export ecosystem, and export performance. The evaluation for EPI 2022 was conducted for FY 2021-22 and was announced by the Niti Aayog on July 17, 2023.
 
Merchandise exports contribute 35% to Gujarat's Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) — the highest percentage among all states. Additionally, Gujarat experienced the highest increase in the number of exporters, with 4,234 new exporters in FY 2021-22, surpassing all other states and UTs. According to the EPI 2022 report, Gujarat has four districts among the top 10 in India and eight districts among the top 25 in terms of exports — the highest among all states. Notably, Jamnagar, Surat, Bharuch, and Ahmedabad, the top four districts in Gujarat, contribute more than one-fifth of India's total merchandise exports. Jamnagar alone accounts for the largest share, 12.18% of India's total merchandise exports, which is equivalent to the combined contribution of Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, and Haryana.
