Our Assessment

Exports are being actively promoted: India’s merchandise and services exports have grown (merchandise exports rising to about USD 38 billion in a single month in late 2025, led by engineering goods, electronics, pharmaceuticals and petroleum products, with services exports at record levels), supported by free-trade agreements, the Export Promotion Mission (Rs 25,060 crore, approved November 2025), RoDTEP, e-commerce export hubs and trade-facilitation reforms. As an ongoing promotional commitment without a single defined target, it is being pursued continuously. Partial.
