India's Exports Scale Record US$ 863.1 Billion in FY 2025–26, Driven by Strong Trade with UAE, UK and Australia

India’s exports reached a record US$ 863.1 billion in FY 2025‑26, comprising US$ 441.8 billion in merchandise and US$ 421.3 billion in services. The surge was driven by strong trade under FTAs with the UAE (US$ 37.3 bn), the UK (US$ 13.44 bn) and Australia (US$ 7.28 bn). Post‑FTA utilisation is reflected in the issuance of 4.45 lakh Certificates of Origin for the India‑UAE CEPA and a rise in HS‑8 tariff lines exported to partner countries. The government monitors preferential tariff benefits and has bolstered trade facilitation through platforms like Trade e‑Connect and the Trade Intelligence and Analytics Portal.
