What is the Export Promotion Mission (EPM)? 

  • About:
    • The Export Promotion Mission (EPM), announced in the Union Budget 2025–26, brings together several previously fragmented export-support schemes into a single, digitally enabled framework. With a total outlay of ₹25,060 crore for the period from FY 2025–26 to FY 2030–31, the mission aims to strengthen India’s export ecosystem and improve the global competitiveness of sectors such as MSMEs and labour-intensive industries.
  • Structure and Governance:
    • EPM operates through a coordinated institutional structure involving multiple stakeholders such as the Department of Commerce, MSME Ministry, Finance Ministry, Export Promotion Councils, Commodity Boards, financial institutions, industry associations, and state governments. The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) acts as the main implementing agency responsible for carrying out the mission.
  • Integrated Sub-Schemes:
    • The mission functions through two integrated sub-schemes—Niryat Protsahan and Niryat Disha—which together address both financial and non-financial requirements of exporters.
  • Niryat Protsahan:
    • This component focuses on financial support for exporters. It provides facilities such as affordable trade finance, interest subvention, factoring services, exporter credit cards, collateral support, and credit enhancement, especially aimed at helping MSMEs expand their export activities.
  • Niryat Disha:
    • This component focuses on non-financial support measures. It includes assistance in quality certification and compliance, branding and marketing, participation in trade fairs, logistics and transportation support, and district-level capacity building to help exporters access global markets more effectively.
  • Digital Implementation and Monitoring:
    • EPM is implemented through a digital platform managed by DGFT, enabling paperless processing and faster delivery of services. The digital system ensures transparency, integrated coordination among agencies, and quicker responses to changing global trade conditions.
  • Sectoral and Regional Focus:
    • The mission gives priority to sectors that are highly affected by tariffs, including textiles, leather, gems and jewellery, engineering goods, and marine products. It also focuses on supporting MSMEs, first-time exporters, and labour-intensive industries. Under the Niryat Disha component, special support is provided to interior and low-export districts to expand India’s export base and encourage wider participation in global trade.
  • Regulatory and Central Bank Support:
    • The mission is further supported by the Reserve Bank of India’s Trade Relief Measures 2025, which help reduce liquidity pressures and provide financial support to export-oriented businesses.
  • Expected Outcomes:
    • The mission aims to improve access to trade finance for MSMEs, strengthen quality certification and compliance standards, enhance branding and global visibility of Indian products, and increase exports from non-traditional districts. These outcomes are expected to promote export-led economic growth, support the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat, and contribute to achieving the long-term goal of Viksit Bharat by 2047, making India a stronger and more competitive participant in global trade.

What is the Status of India’s Export Industry? 

  • Export Growth:
    • India’s exports reached a record USD 778.21 billion in 2023–24, showing a strong 67% increase compared to 2013–14. This significant growth reflects the expansion of India’s manufacturing sector, improvements in digital capabilities, and wider diversification of export markets rather than temporary fluctuations in trade.
  • Major Export Markets:
    • In 2023–24, India’s major export destinations included the United States, UAE, Netherlands, China, Singapore, United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, Germany, and Italy. Together, these ten countries accounted for about 51% of India’s total merchandise exports. India’s export presence has expanded across regions such as North America, the European Union, ASEAN, West Asia, and North-East Asia, indicating a broader and more diversified geographical reach.
  • Evolution of India’s Export Composition:
    • India’s export structure is gradually changing and moving toward higher-value products. The country is shifting from traditional low-value exports like textiles and basic agricultural goods to more advanced manufactured products such as electronics and engineering goods. At the same time, the services sector contributes nearly 44% of total exports, highlighting India’s strong global competitiveness in services. In addition, emerging sectors such as medical devices, renewable energy components, and advanced electronics are helping diversify India’s exports and increase value addition in global markets.
