Despite persistent geopolitical tensions and volatile commodity prices, India’s trade performance remains robust. Minister of State for Commerce Jitin Prasada informed the Parliament that total exports (merchandise and services) grew by 5.26% to reach $714.73 billion during the April-January period of FY 2025-26. This consistent expansion, with a compound annual growth rate of 6.9% over the last four years, underscores India’s ability to sustain diversified growth even under challenging external conditions. The government continues to focus on FTAs and MSME support to strengthen India’s position as a resilient player in global trade.
