India’s Exports Jump to $43.56 Billion in April 2026 Amid Double-Digit Growth

India's merchandise exports recorded double-digit growth during April and May of FY27, according to a senior government official. The performance indicates a strong start to the new financial year despite ongoing geopolitical uncertainties and volatility in global trade markets. 

The Commerce Ministry is scheduled to release the official trade data for May on June 15. 

Strong Export Momentum Continues 

The government official stated that exports expanded at a double-digit rate during the April-May period, reflecting sustained strength in outbound shipments. 

The growth comes after India's exports reached a multi-year high in April, supported by robust performance across key sectors and favourable global demand conditions. 

The latest trend suggests that exporters have managed to maintain momentum despite challenges arising from global supply chain disruptions and regional conflicts. 

April Exports Hit Four-Year High 

In April 2026, India's exports rose 13.78% year-on-year to $43.56 billion, marking the highest monthly export value recorded in more than four years. 

Petroleum product shipments played a significant role in driving export growth during the month, benefiting from elevated crude oil prices in international markets. 

However, imports also increased during the period, resulting in India's trade deficit widening to a three-month high of $28.38 billion.
