The government is likely to issue guidelines for at least some of the schemes under the recently-approved Export Promotion Mission (EPM) this week, according to sources in the know.
The Union Cabinet approved the EPM in November 2025. It had been announced in Budget 2025. The Mission would have an outlay of ₹25,060 crore for the period 2025-26 to 2030-31.
The Mission would have two sub-schemes. Niryat Protsahan would focus on improving access to trade finance and credit for exporters, especially MSMEs. The second sub-scheme, Niryat Disha, is to focus on non-financial ways to enhance Indian exporters’ readiness to compete globally.
However, with nearly a month and half having elapsed since then, the rules and guidelines to implement these sub-schemes have still not been released.
“A series of guidelines need to be issued, with a couple coming this week,” an official in the Ministry of Commerce and Industry told The Hindu. This was confirmed by The Hindu with a second official in the Ministry as well.
