New Delhi, June 24: India’s total trade increased 5.4 per cent to reach $1.84 trillion in FY26, according to NITI Aayog, highlighting steady momentum in the country’s external sector.
The rise in trade was supported by stronger performance in both goods and services, driven by improving export competitiveness, resilient domestic demand and expanding global linkages.
Officials noted that India’s trade growth reflects continued progress in strengthening supply chains, improving logistics infrastructure and advancing policy reforms aimed at enhancing ease of doing business.
Despite a challenging global environment marked by uncertain demand conditions and shifting trade dynamics, India maintained stable growth in its external sector, supported by diversification of export markets and ongoing economic reforms.
The latest figures underline India’s growing role in global trade and its efforts to position itself as a key hub for manufacturing and services exports.
Going ahead, policymakers expect continued support from infrastructure upgrades, digital adoption and production-linked initiatives to further strengthen India’s trade performance.
