ASEAN and Africa Drive India's Export Growth in First Two Months of FY27
India's exports grew 16.09% year-on-year to USD 88.91 billion in April-May FY27, driven mainly by significant increases to ASEAN and African regions, which rose 66.9% and 53.1% respectively. These two regions contributed over USD 7.6 billion to export growth, while shipments to NAFTA and Europe saw modest rises. The share of exports to countries outside North America and Europe now exceeds half, reflecting India's diversification strategy amid global economic uncertainties.
