Government Launches ₹25,060 Cr. Export Promotion Mission Amid Rising U.S. Tariffs
The Government of India has approved a ₹25,060 crore Export Promotion Mission (EPM Scheme: 2025–2031) to strengthen the entire export ecosystem, especially MSME exporters, impacted by the recent 50% tariff imposed by the U.S. on Indian goods.
The mission will be implemented through two schemes:
NIRYAT PROTSAHAN (₹10,401 Cr): Affordable trade finance for MSMEs — interest subvention, export factoring, collateral-free guarantees, credit cards for e-commerce exporters, and credit enhancement for new markets.
NIRYAT DISHA (₹14,659 Cr): Non-financial export support — compliance & certification, branding & packaging, trade fairs, logistics, inland transport reimbursements, and export warehousing.
Objectives of the Export Promotion Mission: The Export Promotion Mission, to be implemented by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), is expected to:
Facilitate access to affordable trade finance for MSMEs,
Enhance export readiness through compliance and certification support,
Improve market access and visibility for Indian products.
Boost exports from non-traditional districts and sectors,
Generate employment across manufacturing.
Implementation: The entire process (from application to disbursal) will be handled by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) through a dedicated digital platform integrated with existing trade systems.
