Uttar Pradesh has strengthened its trade engagement with BRICS members and partner nations, recording exports worth Rs. 47,484 crore (US$ 5.03 billion) to these markets. Of the total, exports worth Rs. 34,811 crore (US$ 3.69 billion) were shipped to BRICS member countries, while Rs. 12,673 crore (US$ 1.34 billion) were recorded with partner nations. The export performance highlights the growing international presence of products manufactured and processed across the state. Uttar Pradesh has a diversified industrial and agricultural base, with key strengths in agriculture-based industries, food processing, textiles, leather, electrical equipment, machinery and jewellery. The state is focusing on attracting industrial investment, improving connectivity, strengthening ease of doing business, generating employment and promoting exports while connecting traditional industries and modern industrial units with international markets.
Further strengthening of quality standards, modern packaging, logistics, testing facilities, branding and international trade processes is expected to support the state's export growth. These measures could particularly benefit Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), export-oriented units and local producers by enabling access to a wider pool of international buyers. Greater engagement with BRICS and partner countries also provides Uttar Pradesh with an opportunity to diversify export markets and strengthen trade linkages with emerging economies. Integrating district-level production clusters with global supply chains, supported by improved logistics and testing infrastructure, could help local businesses expand their international operations. Strengthening these capabilities is expected to support investment, employment generation and sustained export growth across the state, while enabling Uttar Pradesh's traditional industries and locally produced goods to gain greater access to global markets.
