India has achieved a record Rs. 79.95 lakh crore (US$ 860 billion) in total exports (goods and services) in 2025-26, surpassing approximately Rs. 76.72 lakh crore (US$ 825 billion) in 2024-25, reflecting sustained growth despite global economic uncertainties. Union Minister Mr. Piyush Goyal noted that this milestone highlights India’s expanding role in global trade, supported by strong performance across both merchandise and services exports. The growth was driven by improved competitiveness, diversification of export markets and sustained policy support aimed at enhancing India’s integration with global value chains. The achievement reinforces India’s position among the world’s leading exporting economies, with exports continuing to act as a key pillar of economic expansion.
The record export performance is strategically significant as it strengthens foreign exchange earnings, supports domestic manufacturing and boosts employment generation across sectors. Continued momentum is expected to be supported by recently concluded and ongoing free trade agreements (FTAs), which are likely to improve market access and reduce trade barriers. The growing contribution of services exports, high-value manufacturing, and technology-led sectors is further enhancing India’s export basket. Going forward, India’s focus on trade facilitation, logistics efficiency and global market diversification is expected to sustain export growth and reinforce its position as a reliable global trade partner.
