India’s exports surge 6.75% despite US tariffs

ByEnigma 808

India’s exports of goods in September rose by 6.75 percent to $36.38 billion compared to the same month last year. This was also higher than August’s $35.1 billion. Exports in the first half of FY26 reached $189.49 billion, the highest ever for that period. Despite challenges like tariffs and global supply chain issues, total exports were $18 billion higher than last year.

Imports grew faster than exports in September due to increased demand for gold, silver, fertilizer, and electronics. Imports rose to $68.53 billion, up from $61.59 billion in August. India’s trade surplus in goods and services reached $15.53 billion.

India and the US are close to finalizing their first Bilateral Trade Agreement. The agreement will likely include more energy imports and renewable technologies from the US.
