India’s merchandise exports recorded strong growth during the opening months of the financial year, rising 15% from April to mid-June, reflecting positive momentum in the country’s external trade performance.
Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal highlighted the export growth as a sign of resilience in India’s manufacturing and trade sectors, with exporters continuing to expand their global presence despite challenges in international markets.
The increase was supported by improved demand across key export segments, steady performance from industries, and efforts to strengthen India’s position in global supply chains. Exporters are also benefiting from trade diversification and expanding opportunities in new markets.
The government said the continued growth trend reflects the impact of policy measures aimed at boosting competitiveness, improving logistics infrastructure, and supporting exporters.
However, global uncertainties, including changing demand patterns, geopolitical risks, and currency fluctuations, remain key factors that could influence export performance in the coming months.
India is aiming to sustain this growth momentum as it works toward expanding its share in global trade and achieving higher export targets.
