India’s Exports Rise in FY26, But Higher Imports Widen Trade Gap

New Delhi, Apr 15 (BNP): India’s exports recorded steady growth in FY26, rising by 4.22% to reach USD 860.09 billion, reflecting continued demand in global markets.

However, imports grew at a faster pace of 6.47% during the same period, leading to a widening trade deficit.

Officials said the increase in imports was driven by higher demand for key commodities and inputs, even as export performance remained stable.

The data highlights a mixed trend in India’s external trade, with positive export growth balanced by rising import costs, which have put pressure on the overall trade balance.
