India has recorded its highest-ever export performance, reaching an impressive $860 billion in the financial year 2025–26, according to Union Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal. Sharing the update on social media, the minister emphasized that the achievement reflects India’s economic resilience and its expanding footprint in global trade despite ongoing international uncertainties.
He noted that the momentum has been significantly supported by nine trade agreements finalized under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. These agreements are helping India access new markets and unlock growth opportunities across multiple sectors. Goyal further highlighted that continued government efforts to improve ease of doing business and foster an investor-friendly ecosystem are playing a crucial role in driving export growth, aligning with the broader vision of building a “Viksit Bharat.”
Welcoming the development, ASSOCHAM President Nirmal Minda described the milestone as a testament to India’s strong economic fundamentals amid global headwinds. He pointed out that the growth has been largely driven by services exports, along with strong contributions from sectors such as engineering and electronics.
Minda added that the performance underscores the effectiveness of policy measures and industry collaboration, boosting confidence in India’s export trajectory. He also expressed optimism that the country is on track to surpass the $1 trillion export mark in FY 2026–27, backed by rising global competitiveness and diversification across markets.
