Government Launches Export Promotion Mission with ₹25,060 Crore Outlay to Boost Trade Competitiveness

The Union Government announces the Export Promotion Mission (EPM), a comprehensive six-year initiative consolidating fragmented export support schemes into a digitally-enabled, outcome-linked framework with ₹25,060 crore allocation spanning FY26-FY31. Anchored by the Department of Commerce with MSME, Finance Ministry, EPCs, and states, EPM targets enhanced global competitiveness through integrated financial, digital, and market access interventions.
EPM merges 15+ schemes into unified pillars: trade finance via 100% GoI-guaranteed NCGTC collateral-free credit (upto 20% additional WC); digital single-window for export documentation; buyer-seller matchmaking platforms; and sector-specific market intelligence. MSME exporters gain priority access to interest subvention, overseas warehousing, and branding support tailored to 26 focus products contributing 80% export value.
Mission governance features outcome-based KPIs tracking incremental exports, market diversification (target: 50 new destinations), and MSME participation (40% scheme benefits). Integration with ABDM enables real-time credit assessment while blockchain-based certificates of origin enhance supply chain transparency.
Complementing RBI’s moratorium on repayments (Sep-Dec 2025) and expanded credit guarantees valid to Mar 2026, EPM addresses liquidity crunches amid global headwinds. Projected outcomes include a $2 trillion export target acceleration, 15% MSME export share rise, and 20 new FTAs operationalisation.
This mission-mode reform embodies Atmanirbhar Bharat 2.0, streamlining ₹1 lakh crore+ annual export incentives into measurable deliverables supporting Viksit Bharat@2047 vision.
