The Export Preparedness Index (EPI) 2024 released by NITI Aayog was which edition of the index?

Correct Answerसही उत्तर

C. FourthC. चौथा

Explanationव्याख्या

The correct answer is the fourth edition.
According to the source, NITI Aayog released the fourth edition of the Export Preparedness Index 2024 on 14 January 2026.
The EPI evaluates the export readiness of India's States and Union Territories.
This makes it an important sub-national assessment tool because India's overall export performance depends not only on national policies but also on infrastructure, business conditions, governance and export capabilities at the State and Union Territory level.
The source explicitly connects the index with India's national objective of reaching USD 1 trillion in merchandise exports by 2030 and with the broader vision of Viksit Bharat @2047.
EPI 2024 is structured around four main pillars, supported by 13 sub-pillars and 70 indicators.
The largest weight is assigned to Business Ecosystem at 40 percent.
This pillar evaluates factors including macroeconomy, cost competitiveness, human capital, financial access and the MSME ecosystem.
Export Infrastructure carries 20 percent weight and focuses on trade, logistics, connectivity and utilities.
Policy & Governance also has a 20 percent weight and assesses State-level export policies and regulatory environments.
Export Performance carries the remaining 20 percent and measures actual export outcomes, diversification and global integration.
The weighting pattern is particularly important for objective examinations: Business Ecosystem = 40%, while each of the other three pillars = 20%.
Together they total 100%.
The framework shows that export preparedness is broader than merely counting current exports.
A State may need a supportive business environment, logistics infrastructure and appropriate policies in addition to strong actual export outcomes.
For revision, remember: EPI 2024 → NITI Aayog → fourth edition → released 14 January 2026 → States and UTs → 4 pillars → 13 sub-pillars → 70 indicators → merchandise-export goal USD 1 trillion by 2030.
Hence option C is correct.
