Cabinet Approves Six-Year Export Promotion Mission, Expands Credit Guarantees Worth Rs 45,060 Crore

The programme unifies legacy schemes under two tracks—Niryat Protsahan for finance, Niryat Disha for market enablers—via a DGFT-run digital platform.

Overview

  • The Export Promotion Mission carries an outlay of Rs 25,060 crore for FY2025–26 to FY2030–31 to replace fragmented export-support schemes with a single framework.
  • A separate Credit Guarantee Scheme for exporters provides 100% NCGTC cover to enable up to Rs 20,000 crore in additional collateral-free credit to eligible exporters.
  • Niryat Protsahan will back affordable trade finance through tools such as interest subvention, export factoring, collateral guarantees and credit cards for e-commerce exporters.
  • Niryat Disha will fund non-financial support including compliance and certification, international branding, trade fairs, warehousing, inland transport reimbursements and trade intelligence.
  • Priority assistance targets MSMEs, first-time and labour-intensive exporters and sectors hit by recent tariff hikes, while the Cabinet also rationalised royalty rates for graphite, caesium, rubidium and zirconium.
