India's Tanker Exports Surge Over Six-Fold to $1.36 Billion in Q1 FY27; UAE Leads
India's tanker exports surged over six-fold to USD 1.36 billion in the June quarter of FY27, driven by increased shipments to the UAE, which became the largest importer with USD 900.8 million in purchases. Export volumes rose from 10 to 23 vessels, reflecting growing international demand and India's expanding shipbuilding capabilities. Singapore and Middle Eastern countries like Oman and Saudi Arabia also showed significant import growth. Despite rising freight costs and logistical challenges due to geopolitical tensions, India's overall merchandise exports, including engineering and electronics goods, continued to grow robustly.
