Union Budget 2025: Government unveils new export promotion mission and BharatTradeNet platform to strengthen global trade integration

In the Union Budget 2025-26, the government announced the establishment of an Export Promotion Mission aimed at enhancing export credit, cross-border factoring support, and assisting MSMEs in tackling non-tariff barriers in overseas markets. This initiative seeks to improve India’s global trade competitiveness and provide robust support for small businesses expanding internationally.

To further streamline international trade, the government will launch ‘BharatTradeNet’ (BTN), a digital public infrastructure designed as a unified platform for trade documentation and financing solutions. This will simplify trade processes and improve ease of doing business for exporters.

Additionally, the budget proposes the formation of facilitation groups for select products and supply chains to bolster domestic manufacturing capacities and strengthen India’s role in global supply chains. The government will also support the domestic electronic equipment industry to leverage Industry 4.0 opportunities, particularly benefiting the youth.

A national framework will be formulated to guide states in promoting Global Capability Centres in emerging tier-2 cities, further integrating India into global supply chains and enhancing economic growth.
