India Records Robust Trade Performance With USD 80.8 Billion Exports

India’s total exports, including merchandise and services, are estimated to have reached USD 80.8 billion in April 2026, registering a robust growth of 13.6 percent compared to the same month last year, according to the Department of Commerce.

Officials said the strong export performance reflects resilient trade momentum, increasing global demand for Indian products and services, and India’s expanding role in international trade and supply chains.

Among key sectors, petroleum product exports witnessed a significant rise of 34.66 percent in April 2026, reaching USD 9.59 billion. The growth was attributed to strong global demand and higher export activity in the energy sector.

Non-petroleum exports also showed steady growth, reaching USD 33.97 billion during the month, an increase of more than 9 percent over the previous year. The department stated that the rise demonstrates the strength of India’s diversified export base and growing international demand for Indian manufacturing and value-added products.

Electronic goods exports emerged as one of the strongest-performing sectors, surging by 40.31 percent to USD 5.18 billion. Officials attributed the increase to rising global demand for electronics and the expansion of India’s manufacturing capabilities.

Engineering goods exports also recorded healthy growth, rising by 8.76 percent to USD 10.35 billion in April 2026. The department noted that the increase reflects sustained momentum in India’s industrial and manufacturing sectors.

Trade experts said the export growth highlights India’s improving competitiveness in global markets and the success of efforts aimed at boosting manufacturing, diversification, and export-oriented production.

The government continues to focus on strengthening exports through policy support, infrastructure development, trade agreements, and initiatives aimed at enhancing manufacturing and logistics efficiency.
