Export Promotion Mission (EPM)

The Export Promotion Mission is a central government framework to diversify and expand India's export base through institutional coordination across ministries including Commerce, Finance, and sectoral departments. It identifies target markets and sectors, addresses market access barriers, and launches support measures for exporters facing extraordinary challenges. The RELIEF scheme is the first crisis-response instrument launched under the EPM.

Key details
  • EPM provides an institutional umbrella for inter-ministerial coordination on export issues
  • The mission addresses both structural challenges (logistics, certification, trade agreements) and acute disruptions (as in the current West Asia crisis)
  • Oversight via the EPM Steering Committee allows adaptive policy responses
