Government May Launch 8 Componenets of Export Promotion Initiatives Next Week

The Commerce Ministry is likely to roll out 8 components of the ₹25,060 crore Export Promotion Mission (EPM) next week, as per PTI reports. The programme was cleared by the Union Cabinet in November along with a ₹20,000 crore Credit Guarantee Scheme.  

The 2 schemes together have an outlay of more than ₹45,000 crore and are planned for the 2025-31 period. 

Two Sub-Schemes 

The EPM is structured around Niryat Protsahan and Niryat Disha. Niryat Protsahan deals with financial support, while Niryat Disha focuses on non-financial assistance.  

The design is for addressing credit access as well as operational challenges faced by exporters, particularly micro, small, and medium enterprises. 

Measures Under Niryat Protsahan 

Niryat Protsahan includes interest subvention on pre- and post-shipment credit, export factoring, and deep-tier financing. It also provides credit cards for e-commerce exporters, collateral support for export loans, and credit-enhancement facilities for new or higher-risk markets. 

Export factoring remains limited in India. Global cross-border factoring volumes are estimated at about $758 billion, while India accounts for roughly $1 billion. 

Support Under Niryat Disha 

Niryat Disha covers assistance for testing, certification, and compliance audits. It also includes support for branding, packaging, trade fairs, and buyer-seller meetings. The scheme provides help for export warehousing and logistics as well. 

Exporters in remote districts may receive inland transport reimbursements. Capacity building support is planned at cluster and district levels. 

Other Export Measures 

The mission follows additional export support announced in recent months. In December 2025, the government launched a ₹4,531 crore Market Access Support scheme.  

In January, it introduced a ₹7,295 crore package, including ₹5,181 crore for interest subvention and ₹2,114 crore for collateral support.
