India's export performance in the financial year 2025–26 showed steady growth compared to the previous year. The total exports rose from $825.26 billion in 2024–25 to $860.09 billion, reflecting a 4.22% increase. This growth was driven by improvements in both merchandise and services exports. Merchandise exports reached $441.78 billion, while services exports contributed $418.31 billion. Despite this growth, imports increased at a faster rate, leading to a widening trade deficit. The export figure of $860.09 billion marks a significant milestone in India's external trade performance.
