These suggestions mainly include measures like preparing export-related infrastructure, making policies regarding exports, increasing transport connectivity, and promoting export-related research.

According to the report of NITI Aayog, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh have developed a lot of infrastructure related to exports in their respective states.
85 percent of the country's exports are from only 10 states. All districts were asked to prepare export policy: After the completion of the work of identification of ODOP by the Ministry of Commerce, all the districts have been asked to prepare export policy.
According to NITI Aayog, 73 percent of the districts have prepared export policies. Apart from creating back-end facilities like cold storage, and godowns for export-related infrastructure, states are also bringing export policy.
