“The robust growth in exports to the US underscores India’s strengthening export competitiveness, diversification into high-value manufacturing particularly electronics and steady performance of traditional sectors,” said an official.
India’s exports to the US in November rose 22% on-year to $6.98 billion, despite the 50% tariff that Washington levies on imports from India since August. This is faster than the 19.38% growth in India’s total outbound shipments in November and 2.62% in April-November.
“The trend reinforces India’s focus on expanding its footprint in advanced markets while deepening domestic manufacturing capabilities,” the official added.
Exports of electronics goods rose 38% on-year, engineering goods rose 4.25% and marine products 16.08% in April-November FY26.
While government is yet to make public the disaggregated data for November, country-wise data for April–October 2025 indicate that the export surge in electronics was led overwhelmingly by the US, which emerged as India’s largest and fastest-growing market for electronic goods. Exports to the US more than doubled, rising 134.91% to $ 13.87 billion, compared to $5.9 billion a year earlier, reflecting strong demand for Indian-made electronics, telecom equipment, and components.
The UAE, China, Hong Kong and Israel too have emerged as key destinations for India’s electronics exports. Among European countries, steady gains are seen in exports to France, Spain, Germany, Poland, Belgium, and Hungary, signalling increasing diversification of export destinations, according to the official.
Marine products, one of the worst hit by the US’ steep 50% tariffs, have seen higher demand from key international markets especially Vietnam, China, Belgium and Russia.
