FTA Accelerator
Twelve weeks from your product to your first shipment under a trade agreement.
India’s trade agreements have removed duty on almost everything MP exports. The Accelerator takes 80 firms through the agreement, rules of origin, market costs, and buyers to claim these savings.
Dr. Mohan Yadav
Hon'ble Chief Minister, MP
One of five major initiatives the State launched
At the Madhya Pradesh Export and FTA Conclave 2026 in Bhopal, the Hon’ble Chief Minister launched the Madhya Pradesh FTA Action Plan 2026-27, the MP FTA Handbook for Exporters, the FTA Helpdesk at the MPIDC Export Cell, the FTA module of this Portal, and the MP FTA Accelerator Programme.
The Accelerator is run by the Export Cell of the M.P. Industrial Development Corporation under the State Export Commissioner, with faculty from DGFT, Customs, the certificate-issuing agencies, the Export Promotion Councils, ECGC and EXIM Bank.
The first shipment under an agreement.
Every firm that completes the programme leaves with a written first-shipment plan, has met buyers in its market, and files its first preferential certificate of origin (or declaration) within 90 days. The Export Cell stays with the firm until the consignment ships.

The State bears the programme. The firm bears its own travel for the in-person day and its own costs of samples, testing, certification, and shipment.
Assistance for certification, freight, and marketing is available under the MP Export Policy 2025; Phase 3 of the programme shows exactly how to claim it.
