Explanationव्याख्या

The correct answer is the Export Promotion Mission.
According to the source, the Government launched a ₹4,531 crore Market Access Support, or MAS, scheme for FY26-31 to enhance the global reach, visibility and competitiveness of Indian exporters.
The scheme focuses particularly on first-time exporters, MSMEs and firms from priority sectors.
The priority sectors identified in the source include agriculture, handloom, leather and toys.
MAS was launched under the larger ₹25,060 crore Export Promotion Mission, which the source states had been approved by the Union Cabinet in November.
This distinction between the ₹4,531 crore MAS component and the ₹25,060 crore overall Export Promotion Mission is important for examinations.
The MAS scheme provides structured and outcome-oriented interventions designed to improve Indian exports' international reach and competitiveness.
The source also notes an allocation of ₹500 crore for the current fiscal, with ₹330 crore of arrears to be cleared at the earliest.
Another significant feature is diversification.
MAS focuses on export-product diversification, market diversification and beneficiary diversification so that a larger number of exporters can access support.
The source explicitly clarifies that the scheme is intended to address long-term challenges faced by exporters and is not designed as a countermeasure to US tariffs.
This distinction can be particularly useful in statement-based questions.
Revision chain: MAS → ₹4,531 crore → FY26-31 → Export Promotion Mission → ₹25,060 crore → first-time exporters + MSMEs → agriculture, leather, handloom, toys → global reach, visibility and competitiveness → ₹500 crore current fiscal → ₹330 crore arrears → product, market and beneficiary diversification → long-term exporter challenges → not a response to US tariffs.
Therefore, the larger programme under which MAS was launched is the Export Promotion Mission, making option A correct.

सही उत्तर Export Promotion Mission है। Source के अनुसार Government ने FY26-31 के लिए ₹4,531 crore Market Access Support यानी MAS scheme launch की। इसका उद्देश्य Indian exporters की global reach, visibility और competitiveness enhance करना है। Scheme का focus first-time exporters, MSMEs और priority sectors की firms पर है। Source में priority sectors के रूप में agriculture, handloom, leather और toys दिए गए हैं। MAS को larger ₹25,060 crore Export Promotion Mission के under launch किया गया, जिसे source के अनुसार Union Cabinet ने November में approve किया था। यहाँ amounts का distinction important है: ₹4,531 crore → MAS scheme; ₹25,060 crore → overall Export Promotion Mission। MAS structured और outcome-oriented interventions provide करती है ताकि Indian exports की international reach और competitiveness improve हो। Source current fiscal के लिए ₹500 crore allocation तथा ₹330 crore arrears earliest possible time पर clear करने का भी उल्लेख करता है। Diversification scheme का दूसरा important element है। MAS export products, markets और beneficiaries के diversification पर focus करती है ताकि अधिक exporters support access कर सकें। Source explicitly clarify करता है कि scheme exporters की long-term challenges address करने के लिए है और US tariffs के countermeasure के रूप में intended नहीं है। Exam में यह statement trap बन सकता है। Revision chain: MAS → ₹4,531 crore → FY26-31 → Export Promotion Mission → ₹25,060 crore → first-time exporters + MSMEs → agriculture + leather + handloom + toys → global reach + visibility + competitiveness → ₹500 crore current fiscal → ₹330 crore arrears → diversification → not a US tariff countermeasure। इसलिए option A सही answer है।
