In what marks a strong start to the financial year, India’s overall exports rose by 6% year-on-year in the first quarter of FY26, reaching $210.31 billion. This compares to $198 billion recorded in the same quarter last year. As per the Commerce ministry, it’s the highest-ever first-quarter export figure. What’s even more significant is that the growth comes despite global trade uncertainties, including disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz.The ministry said both merchandise and services exports registered growth in the April-June 2025 period. And if the current trend sustains, India could surpass last year’s overall export performance. And that’s not all – the trade deficit also narrowed sharply in June 2025, falling to $3.51 billion from $7.30 billion a year earlier. The trade deficit declined 9.41% year-on-year, pointing to a more balanced and resilient trade outlook. So what’s driving the momentum? Despite some sectors having slowed down, what’s fueling the optimism around India’s export story?
