Efforts should be made to identify the reasons for shortfall/poor performance and unit-wise action plan should be prepared for removal of bottlenecks. It should be ensured that the unit should have an export promotion strategy as well tentative targets for next few years, so that it has an idea as to what is to be achieved by them. Effective action should be taken against erring units to discourage any misuse of the scheme.
