India’s Overall Exports Exceeded $714 Billion in April-January, with 5.26% Rise
Despite ongoing supply chain interruptions caused by geopolitical tensions and variable commodity prices, India’s exports have expanded steadily. Minister of State for Commerce Jitin Prasada stated in the Lok Sabha that total merchandise and service exports increased by 5.26 percent to $714.73 billion from 679.02 billion in the same period the previous year.
Exports grew at a compound annual rate of 6.9 percent between 2021-22 and 2024-25, with values rising from $497.90 billion in 2020-21 to $828.25 billion in 2024-25. This constant expansion demonstrates India’s ability to sustain diversified and resilient export growth, establishing the country as a significant player in global commerce even amid adverse external conditions, according to the minister.
The government aims to increase exports and extend the country’s worldwide presence by combining historic strengths with rising technology-driven sectors. Central to this goal is the establishment of a supportive ecosystem in which exporters, particularly MSMEs, can confidently compete in international markets. The policy framework, financial incentives, digital infrastructure, trade facilitation, and push for deeper market access through next-generation trade agreements support this effort.
