Commenting on the numbers, Chadha said the strong export growth came despite a challenging external environment and persistent global uncertainty, underscoring the resilience of India’s engineering industry.
He attributed the double-digit growth to factors including free trade agreements with key partner countries, exporters’ strategy of diversifying products and markets, and the rising global competitiveness of ‘Brand India’ engineering products.
