New Delhi, The country’s merchandise exports have recorded about 15 per cent growth during April-May 2026-27 despite global economic uncertainties, a senior government official said on Monday.
The Commerce Ministry will release the trade data for May on June 15.
“During the two months, exports are up by 15 per cent,” the official said.
Exports rose by 13.78 per cent to USD 43.56 billion in April, the highest monthly outbound shipments in more than four years, driven by petroleum products amid a surge in crude oil prices, but the trade deficit widened to a three-month high of USD 28.38 billion due to an uptick in imports.
