India's Exports Rise with Services Growth Amid Electronics Import Dependence
India's exports grew notably in FY2025-26 and July 2026, with services exports rising sharply to nearly match merchandise exports, driven mainly by telecommunications and IT services. Despite rapid growth in electronics exports, India continues to rely heavily on imports for components, resulting in a significant trade gap in this sector. Overall, total exports and imports increased in July 2026 and the April-July period, reflecting ongoing expansion in manufacturing and energy-related trade.
