New Delhi, Dec. 26: The government is likely to announce another round of sops to exporters before the budget, which could include reimbursement of state-level taxes.

Officials said the reliefs could be announced after receiving the recommendations of a committee appointed by the Prime Minister, which is working on a long-term strategy for exporters who have been hit hard by the rising rupee.

The officials said the Centre could soon call a meeting of state finance ministers to discuss the reliefs.
