thebalanced.newsIndia's Export Growth and Industrial Policy Amid Global Trade Shifts
India's export milestone of USD 863 billion in FY 2025-26 highlights significant growth amid global trade challenges, yet it remains behind leaders like China and the US. The country's export strength increasingly relies on services, while manufacturing faces structural hurdles. Efforts to attract foreign investment and diversify supply chains, partly driven by geopolitical shifts and incentive schemes, show progress but also reveal ongoing challenges in reliability and industrial policy execution. Experts emphasize that India's industrial policy has evolved continuously, focusing now on effective implementation rather than a return to past models.
