Government to Cover Certification Costs for Micro and Small Exporters Under EPM
Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal announced that the government will cover the full certification costs for micro and small exporters under the Export Promotion Mission (EPM), including compliance with EU regulations like the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism and deforestation rules. The mission, funded with over ₹25,000 crore for six years, aims to support exporters in accessing global markets. Larger businesses will receive graded support, and exporters are encouraged to seek assistance from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade.
