Looking Ahead to FY26

Current Challenges

Despite the overall growth, exports have been facing challenges, marking the fourth consecutive month of negative growth in February, attributed to global economic uncertainties.

Key Figures: Merchandise exports stood at $395.63 billion during April-February 2024-25, marginally up from $395.38 billion in the previous year. Service exports, however, saw a significant rise to $354.90 billion from $311.05 billion in the same period.
