About Export Promotion Mission (EPM)

Building a Competitive, Inclusive, and Future-Ready Export Ecosystem

The Export Promotion Mission (EPM) is a flagship initiative of the Government of India, aimed at strengthening India’s export ecosystem through a unified, outcome-driven, and digitally enabled framework. The Mission has a total outlay of ₹25,060 crore for the period FY 2025–26 to FY 2030–31. EPM is designed to enhance India’s export competitiveness, with a focused emphasis on MSMEs, first-time exporters, labour-intensive sectors, and exporters from interior and low-export-intensity regions.

By integrating financial and non-financial export support under a single mission and consolidating key schemes such as the Interest Equalisation Scheme (IES) and the Market Access Initiative (MAI), EPM addresses long-standing structural constraints in trade finance, compliance, market access, and logistics—driving measurable export growth, employment generation, and global competitiveness.

The Mission is implemented through two integrated sub-schemes, each targeting a distinct set of exporter challenges:

  1. NIRYAT PROTSAHAN – Strengthening access to affordable trade finance
  2. NIRYAT DISHA – Enhancing export readiness and market competitiveness
