Ajay Sahai, the Director General of the Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO), predicts that India’s exports of goods and services will reach $900 billion in the current fiscal year, surpassing the $770 billion recorded in the previous year, despite global challenges.
The projection suggests that merchandise exports will expand to approximately $495 billion to $500 billion, while services exports are anticipated to reach $400 billion by the end of March 2024. In light of the Ukraine war and a global economic slowdown, Trade Minister Piyush Goyal has encouraged exporters to explore new markets to mitigate potential impacts.
In order to achieve its target of $2 trillion in exports by 2030, the Indian government has implemented measures to support the export of electronics, engineering, pharmaceutical, and other goods, providing benefits and incentives.
While the exports of engineering, gems, and jewelry have experienced a slowdown in recent months, agricultural, petroleum, and electronic goods have maintained strong performance in Western markets, driven by pricing factors. Additionally, exports to Asian and Middle Eastern countries have witnessed significant growth.
Indian exporters are optimistic about the demand for Indian goods, particularly in Russia, following Western sanctions imposed due to the Ukraine war. They hope that both countries will establish a mechanism for conducting transactions in local currencies, which would facilitate the shipment of Indian goods to Russia, especially in the food sector.
