India’s exports in January 2026 rose just 0.6% year-on-year to $36.56 billion, reflecting the lingering impact of steep US tariffs on Indian goods. Earlier this month, US President Donald Trump announced a reduction in tariffs from 50% to 18%, providing relief to exporters and policymakers. Under the agreement, India has committed to cutting Russian oil imports and plans to more than double its annual purchases of US goods. January’s figures largely capture the final effect of the 50% tariff, with the effective rate now down to 25% and expected to fall further to 18% once the interim trade framework between India and the US is formalized in March. Negotiations on the full agreement are ongoing under this temporary arrangement. source: Ministry of Commerce and Industry, India

India’s Exports Fall in October
India’s exports fell 11.8% year-over-year in October 2025 to USD 34.38 billion, reflecting the impact of softer global demand and tariff-related pressures, a preliminary estimate showed. Shipments to the United States, India’s largest export market, declined to USD 6.3 billion, down from USD 6.9 billion a year earlier as tariffs hit shipments of goods such as textiles, shrimp, and gems and jewelry. The Trump administration imposed steep tariffs of up to 50% on Indian shipments at the end of August. October marked the second full month under these duties, even as New Delhi and Washington continued negotiations. Over the April–October 2025–26 period, exports managed only a 0.6% increase, reaching USD 254.25 billion.

India Exports Rise Modestly in September Amid Trade Deal Delays
India’s exports grew 6.1% year-over-year to USD 36.38 billion in September 2025, following a modest increase in August and hovering near a nine-month low. The sluggish growth in recent months was likely influenced by delays in the US-India trade deal. With the US accounting for roughly 20% of India’s goods exports, any slowdown in bilateral trade momentum could continue to weigh on outbound shipments.
