New Delhi – November 14, 2026: Setting an all-time benchmark in the country’s modern commercial history, India recorded unprecedented combined exports of nearly $90 billion during October 2026, Union Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal announced during a comprehensive national foreign trade appraisal.
The record performance was anchored by an extraordinary surge across non-petroleum merchandise and high-value knowledge services. Leading export growth were smartphone and advanced electronics manufacturing, precision automotive components, finished pharmaceuticals, chemical intermediates, and global capability center (GCC) software consulting services.
Goyal emphasized that the export surge reflects the compounding success of national Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes, sweeping customs duty rationalization, and newly executed Free Trade Agreements with key European and Middle Eastern trading partners. Despite persistent geopolitical disruptions in the Red Sea and shipping freight volatility, Indian exporters demonstrated exceptional supply chain resilience.
Trade apex councils hailed the performance as definitive evidence that India’s manufacturing base is successfully capturing global market share, solidifying the nation’s trajectory toward achieving $2 trillion in combined annual exports by 2030.
