Goods exports surge 26% in August to $43.8 billion, trade deficit narrows
India’s goods exports jumped 26.13% year‑on‑year in August 2026 to $43.81 billion, the strongest rise in the current fiscal year, while imports grew at a slower 14.1% pace, narrowing the monthly trade deficit. The surge was driven by higher petroleum product shipments and strong demand from the United States, Europe, BRICS and other emerging markets.
