Export Promotion Mission

The Export Promotion Mission is India's attempt to pull a scattered web of export-support schemes into one digital, outcome-linked framework — announced in the 2025-26 Budget, cleared by the government in November 2025, and funded with ₹25,060 crore through 2030-31. Run by the DGFT and built around two arms — Niryat Protsahan for finance and Niryat Disha for market-readiness — it targets MSMEs, first-time exporters and labour-heavy sectors. When conflict in West Asia choked Gulf shipping lanes in early 2026, the Mission's flexibility was tested: it spun up RELIEF, a ₹497-crore war-risk export cover run by ECGC, while the Cabinet separately backed a ₹12,980-crore sovereign maritime insurance pool.
