'This is because majority of India's ports are over-congested and no capacity expansion is taking place in many of them,' the chamber said.

The paper further said exports should not be subjected to minimum alternate tax (MAT).

'Export proceeds shouldn't be subjected to MAT as it amounts to various bureaucratic hassles and encourages unnecessary government intervention and interference in a smooth flow of exports,' Jindal said.

Export logistics is another matter of concern, according to Assocham.

'Freight rates are too high for exports as there are different slabs for different products. The freight rate slab needs to be rationalised.'

The industry lobby has further sought the intervention of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to ease the credit squeeze.

The RBI has to ensure that commercial banks and other financial institutions give enough credit to exporters, Assocham said.
