India's Exports Rise 15% in April-July; Minister Confident of $1 Trillion Target
India's exports grew about 15 percent during April-July 2026 despite global uncertainties, Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal said. He expressed confidence in achieving the USD 1 trillion export target for 2026-27, up from USD 863 billion in 2025-26. Growth was supported by nine free trade agreements signed in recent years, providing preferential access to markets worth up to USD 70 trillion. Imports also rose, with final July trade data pending release. Goyal highlighted strong export performance across goods and services sectors amid ongoing global challenges.
