A factory owner in Andheri sits across from a customs officer, staring at a duty liability that could wipe out three months of operating profit — all because the Export Promotion Capital Goods scheme was misunderstood, misapplied, or simply never used. This happens more often than most Mumbai manufacturers care to admit.
The EPCG scheme can cut capital goods import duty to zero percent. That's not a rounding error — that's a legitimate government incentive designed to boost exports. But the scheme carries strict export obligations, documentation trails, and DGFT compliance timelines that can trip up even experienced import-export teams.
The Real Cost of Getting EPCG Wrong
Errors in an EPCG application don't just delay your licence — they can trigger penalties, block your shipping bills, and freeze export credits. The obligation period typically spans six years. Miss a filing deadline or miscalculate your export obligation, and the repercussions run deep.
That's precisely why working with professional EPCG Consultants in Mumbai matters so much. The right consultant doesn't just fill out forms. They map your machinery procurement against your export capacity, calculate the exact obligation value, and keep your file audit-ready throughout the licence lifecycle.
What Sohamma International Brings to the Table
Sohamma International Pvt. Ltd. has spent years working alongside Mumbai's export community — textile units in Bhiwandi, engineering firms in Thane, pharmaceutical companies in Navi Mumbai. The team understands that each business has a different product mix, different export markets, and different timelines.
Sohamma International Pvt. Ltd. handles the full EPCG process: pre-application assessment, licence filing with DGFT, coordination with customs at JNPT and Air Cargo, obligation redemption documentation, and annual reporting. Nothing falls through the cracks.
As trusted EPCG Consultants in Mumbai, the firm also advises on advance authorisation, MEIS/RoDTEP claims, and other foreign trade policy instruments — giving exporters a complete compliance picture rather than a one-file-at-a-time approach.
Start Before the Duty Bill Arrives
Smart exporters plan their EPCG strategy before placing machinery orders, not after. Timing the licence correctly makes the difference between full duty exemption and partial benefit.
