India Exports Reach Record 863 Billion Dollars in FY 2025-26

Ajay Bhadoo, Additional Secretary in the Department of Commerce, announced that India's total exports reached an all-time high of $863 billion in Financial Year 2025-26. This figure represents a significant increase from approximately $441 billion recorded over the last decade. The growth was sustained despite global trade disruptions, including US tariffs and conflicts in West Asia.

Strong performance in electronics, pharmaceuticals, petroleum products, engineering goods, chemicals, and gems and jewellery drove the record. Gujarat emerged as a primary contributor, accounting for nearly $110 billion in exports and roughly 21% of total exports from India's Special Economic Zones (SEZs).

To maintain momentum, the government continues to promote SEZs under the Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat initiatives. Recent developments include the notification of a new SEZ for Tata Semiconductor Manufacturing Private Limited in Dholera, alongside semiconductor projects by Micron Technology, Kaynes Semicon, and CG Semi Technologies.
